Answer 1

Supro® Guitars
All guitars are Masterbuilt in USA by world renown luthiers, including John Bolin.
Ozark™
Single cutaway, single bridge pickup. Our NEW Supro® pickups are a humbucking version of the old Supro single coils (sounds like a P90, looks like an old Supro or covered humbucker). Vintage Bakelite knobs for Volume and Tone. VERY lightweight basswood body, 2 piece quartersawn maple neck & rosewood fretboard with dot inlays. Masterbuilt in USA featuring finest USA made parts (pickup, bridge, machine heads, wood, etc.). 25" scale. 50s V neck profile. Real nitrocellulose lacquer finish.

DualTone™
Same body style as Ozark, but with Schaller bridge, USA Bigsby tailpiece. Ebony fretboard and 2 piece quartersawn maple neck with 50s V profile. Two custom USA-made Supro pickups for the original fat, smooth single coil sound of the old Supro pickup, but with no hum. Rotary switch for quick pickup changes on the fly that won’t switch accidentally. 2 Tone and 2 Volume controls, with vintage Bakelite knobs for all functions. Ebony fretboard with real Mother of Pearl inlays. 25" scale. Real nitrocellulose lacquer finish.


Don't know which model you've got but could be an Ozark. I've seen secondhand ones for sale for beween $250 and $450 depending on condition.

I would recommend that rather than sell it at a garage sale where you'll get nothing like it's true value you take it to a proper music shop for a valuation then sell it on EBay and donate the proceeds to the church. Most Supro guitars are very old so it could be quite valuable especially if it is good working order. Cannot find list of serial numbers but check on Google search inputting 'Supro guitars'

Answer 2

Electric guitars were first created in the late 20's or early 30's, but there's no defitinte date. Acoustic guitars were evolved from spanish lute-like insturments in the late 1700's or early 1800's. Basses were scaled down versions of upright basses, but I have no date. And drums are about as ancient as my mom's casseroles.

Answer 3

Go to guitar center, sam ash, and give them the serial number on the back, every guitar has a number ...well its a serial number, that number determines what year the guitar was made

with all that info you'll have no prob finding out the year it was made

Cheers

Answer 4

Dollar Store

Answer 5

You can plunk in the serial number on the net and find out for sure, but its probably not worth much

Answer 6

omg. Sounds like an El Cheapo. I sincerely don't think it's worth much more than 20 bucks. (& that was generous)

The big names you'd need to have for some $eriou$ moolah would be

Gibson
Martin
Fender
Guild

Answer 7

throw away the guitar and give your church 20 bucks. they will make out on the deal.
