Old-school Design with Three Gold Foils

With the Island Series Hampton, the Supro brand is reentering the electric guitar market. Supro's vintage instruments have been highly sought after since the reignition of the vintage guitar market. The Hampton reintroduces many classic features, such as the uniquely contoured Ozark body, a trio of Gold Foil pickups, and the iconic Wave tailpiece. But the Island Series Hampton uses modern construction techniques and materials to deliver an instrument that is as reliable and versatile as it is attractive. If vintage tone with a unique look is your goal, the Hampton is your perfect instrument.

Supro guitars return

Vintage Supro electric guitars deliver a feel and tone that has been difficult to replicate, until now. Supro is proudly returning to the electric guitar market and announcing the news with their Island Series instruments. These solidbody electric guitars are immediately recognizable as Supros thanks to their beveled Ozark body shapes. This single-cutaway design is definitely an original, while being familiar enough to look great on any stage. And the Wave tailpiece completes the guitar's vintage vibe. These have definitely been some of the most hotly anticipated guitars at Sweetwater.

Modern construction techniques and materials

What sets these Supro Island Series Hampton solidbody electric guitars apart from their older ancestors are the modern-day construction techniques that are deployed in their creation. A solid alder body is utilized for its lighter weight and balanced tonality. The maple neck is set into the body and boasts a comfortably designed neck heel that offers easy high-fret access. You'll also appreciate the neck's satin finish for unrestrained playing. Finally, a solid and adjustable bridge ensures the guitar's intonation remains solid.

Vintage-correct electronics

The Supro Island Series Hampton solidbody electric guitar has a bold look, especially considering its trio of genuine Gold Foil single-coil pickups. These Gold Foils are painstaking re-creations of the originals designed by Ralph Keller in the early 1950s. They are true single-coils, full of chime and bell-like clarity, in mini humbucker-style enclosures. These pickups ensure you'll enjoy a huge, full-range tone with plenty of switching options. Add in the '50s-style wiring, and you'll be reveling in vintage-flavored rock tones in no time.
