Supro David Bowie 1961 Dual Tone

Descrizione

David Bowie, arguably the most iconic artist the world has ever seen, had a highly refined taste when it came to both the guitars he used and the guitarists he hung out with. Among others, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Nile Rodgers, Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Mick Ronson, Peter Frampton and Carlos Alomar were some his closest musician friends. Bowie would occasionally jam with these legends and when he did, his weapon of choice was often this 1961 Dual Tone from Supro; the same guitar he took with him on his last world tour, Reality. As a matter of fact, it's the same guitar that Link Wray used to start the revolution called 'rock n roll' with his song, Rumble. If this special piece of music history could speak words instead of riffs, jams and solos, we're sure it would have some mind-blowing stories to tell.

The Supro Dual Tone 1961: Starman's Guitar Sound

The Dual Tone 1961 has a mahogany body for a sound that swells with sustain while its satin-gloss finished neck is nothing short of a race-track for lightning-fast styles. Two Supro Vistatone pickups shape vintage sound suitable for any style and can be tweaked using individual tone and volume knobs. While the old wooden bridge did get replaced by a more modern tune-o-matic one, this does give the guitar all the stability and dependability needed for stage performances. To finish, the headstock is graced with a mirrored Bowie logo and the 1961 Dual Tone comes complete with a stylish gig bag.
