Supro Jamesport

The bronzed Adonis Supro? Super… er, who? More famous for its amps, the likes of which were used by Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Albert Lee, Supro was no slouch when it came to putting a guitar together back in the day either. While the Jamesport is the most expensive guitar here, it offers some serious vintage quality and spec. And that finish has to be seen to be believed. What era are we talking? The Jamesport is a bolt straight out of the swinging 60s. Its body is based on the Supro’s Ozark body shape and has a bevelled profile for comfort. Pretty darn suave, but hinting at some serious power underneath the hood… What does it sound like? Surprisingly versatile despite having only one humbucker-sized Gold Foil single-coil pickup, a tone and a volume knob. There’s a lot of play between the sharp 60s hippy jangle, and an aggressive rock bite. Named for the coastal town of Jamesport, New York, and part of the Island Series, we’re happy to report that there is plenty of gnarly chew here that makes it perfect for surf rock.
