1940's Supro Supreme Lap Steel- NEED FINGERBOARD!

Post by Colin Graham »

Hello all,

I've got a 1940's (I think '47) Valco made Supro Supreme lap steel and I need a "fingerboard" to replace the homemade plexiglass one with this chart underneath that was already installed when I bought it. I'd love to replace it with an original if I can find one (like the top picture), but a similar style would also work. Length is 18 5/8"

Have you removed the plexi and looked under the chart? I'm not familiar with this steel at all but wondering if it's under there?

GeorgeBoards offers stick-on replacement fretboards. Be certain to check your scale length on your Supro. Most Valcos -- aside from their student models -- came with a 23-inch scale.
