1965 Supro Oahu short-scale guitar with DeArmond pickup


guitarz.blogspot.com:
With a scale length of 22" and a single DeArmond "Pancake" pickup, this Supro Oahu from 1965 currently listed on eBay could be quite a catch for someone. Stylistically you can see the resemblance to the Supro Pocket Bass, another short-scale instrument popular with collectors of the brand. It's a rare guitar from quite a collectable brand; the seller claims that the pickup and neck alone are worth $350. The Buy It Now price is $475.

The only thing that puzzles me is why the Supro legend is upside-down on the headstock.

- Supro Tosca Short Scale Guitar In Santa Clarita, Ca For $395
This Supro built TOSCA is very similar to the two pickup Amp in case Airline I listed a few days ago. These Tosca's show up every once in a shile - they were the intro level electric in the Supro Catalog back in the early 1960's. I believe it...
