Description
The Supro Dual-Tone Electric Guitar is more than just a nod to classic rock legends—it's a meticulously crafted homage to the instruments that shaped the soundtracks of generations. Inspired by the iconic guitar that David Bowie wielded during his "Reality" era and reminiscent of Link Wray's "Rumble" sound, this guitar is an emblem of rock history. Supro's Vistatone pickups deliver the snarling, biting tone that defined an era, offering you a vintage sound with a twist of modern flair.
While it captures the retro-modern aesthetic that Supro and Valco are celebrated for, this guitar doesn't rest on nostalgia alone. Its ergonomic neck joint and tummy cut embody contemporary innovation, ensuring effortless access to upper frets and enhanced comfort during long sessions. The mirrored headstock adds a touch of Bowie-esque style, making it as visually striking as it is sonically potent. Whether you're channeling the raw energy of the '60s or crafting your own musical revolution, the Supro Dual-Tone Electric Guitar stands ready to amplify your artistry.
Key Features:
- Supro's Vistatone pickups for authentic vintage tone

In the video for 'Blow up the outside world' (ive included the youtube link as proof) Chris is playing a sweet Supro Dual-Tone in Arctic White colour. I have one of these. His looks exactly like mine (which is a 58) So i'm thinking he is playing either a 1958 or 59 Supro. (Bowie's was a 59 or 60 i believe).
In this extremely old photo of Frank Zappa, we can just make out a (now vintage) Supro Dual-Tone guitar. "The earliest known picture of FZ with a guitar, from his 1958 high-school year book One of the rare photographs of FZ from this period is from the Antelope Valley High School 1958 yearbook. A montage of pictures of students, it shows him playing a white Supro Dual Tone electric guitar." - An excerpt from Zappa's Gear.

Michael Scheuchzer, guitarist of MercyMe, is seen jamming the title track of the band's 2014 album, "Welcome To The New", on a televised appearance. What was once mistaken as an Eastwood Guitars Airline Twin Tone which was modified to feature a Hipshot Baby Grand Guitar Bridge and a single color pick guard, was actually a Supro Dual-Tone Electric Guitar. This guitar was built by luthier John Bolin at a time when the company was owned by Zinky.
Mike actually saw this submission and put his own stamp on this mistake. Thank you Mike!

"It’s actually a Supro Dual Tone from the short lived Zinky owned years. Fantastic guitar!
The luthier was John Bolin of Bolin Guitars. Has ALL the vintage vibes!!!
That’s not to say I wouldn’t gladly play an Eastwood ;) Used an Eastwood Baritone in studio"
