There's several on ebay now. Despite the ad titles, these are all Airliner/Jet Airline models. Not really sure why you want a '61?

P.S. If you teach "BANGO" you might want to learn how to spell it.

Harold,
Looks like you jumped into the fire on this one. Do you want one with legs or do you intend to play it on your lap? Why 1961?

Charlie,
You hit it; lots of names for the same steel, but why 1961? My experience with the Supro pickups is that the ones made in the 60s don't sound as good as the earlier ones for a number of reasons.

I'm not sure but I think this is the same as an Airliner.

I think I have the instrument you want, except it's a 1952. It's really clean and works just the way it's supposed to.
PM me with your email and I'll shoot you some pics.
