1958 Supro Ranchero. The late 50's would see some of the most garish industrial design of the decade. The car tail-fin and pompadour alike would both reach unforeseen heights. The Supro Ranchero was a guitar clearly designed in that milieu. Though this 16 inch laminate arch top has a western name, its tone is all Chicago. The single coil Valco pickup is warm and best suited for rhythm and blues; but, turn up the slap-back echo and you have an excellent Rockabilly rhythm guitar. The 1-5/8" nut width and short scale neck aren't going to slow anyone down. Has some general wear on the finish (it's 55 years old). Comes with original faux alligator skin case.

My dad has a vintage black Ranchero hollowbody guitar. Would you have any idea what it may be worth today. If so I would like to hear from you. james_drysdale@aol.com
