This is our 2nd (two are currently up for sale) an Airline model 7270 guitar made by National/Supro, a division of Valco in Chicago, circa 1965 for the Montgomery Ward department store. It is a beautiful, red, semi-hollow, double-cutaway, instrument with two gold foil covered, single coil pickups, a white pickguard on which all of the electronics are mounted. It has white rubberized binding, an adjustable rosewood bridge and a fixed covered, metal tailpiece. The body is constructed of “res-o-glas” which the National 1961 catalog describes as “polyester resins embeded with threads of pure gleaming glass...a new climatically immune miracle material of the space age-super durable-classically beautiful-functionally perfect.” This guitar is 100% original and in good condition with some small wear to tuners, pickup gold foil, and pickguard. The tones are amazing and with its fast action, it feels great to play. This is a unique, rare, beautifully designed guitar that has stayed well preserved for its approximately 60 years of existence. Jack White played one of these periodically in the White Stripes days. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this rare, red beauty. Description from VintageSilvertones.com
