SUMMER NAMM 2019: Supro has announced a recreation of the Ozark, best known as Jimi Hendrix’s first electric guitar.
The new version boasts historically accurate body dimensions and a 24.75” scale length, but improves upon the original with a string-through-body hardtail bridge for individual intonation adjustment.
A pau ferro fingerboarded maple neck is glued to the mahogany body, while a Lace Aluma 90 pickup aims to capture the sound of the original Valco lap steel pickup - the Ozark being famed for its slide credentials.
The Ozark is available now for $899 - see Supro USA for more info.
