Curious- 1957 Supro Value

Post by Charles French »

I got a Supro lap steel, 1957 best I can tell. Serial # x83163. Wondering what it's worth?

Thats kinda what I thought. It's worth the amount of replies = 0 hehe. Maybe some rocker dude might want it, run it thru one of dem distortion pedals.

I could tell you more if you knew the model number, or described it in detail so I might guess what model you have. Supro lap steels go from $75 to around $400, depending on model and condition.

I can tell you that I've have paid $135 just to have the pickup(s) rewound.

Valco made a number of different steels under the Supro brand. Without knowing which particular model you have and its current condition, it's impossible to guess. Photos would be extremely helpful in this situation.

Would you be able to answer the question if it was:
I got a Ford, 2003 best I can tell. License number 123XXX. Wondering what it's worth?

:)

Good luck!
