    Electric guitar

    Supro Belmont

    Electric guitar · United States

    A single-pickup solid-body electric guitar from the American Valco-era brand Supro. Later examples used Valco's distinctive moulded 'Res-O-Glas' fibreglass body, giving the Belmont a light, resonant character and the mid-focused Supro tone prized by slide and blues players.

    Electric guitar · United States

    Harmony Stratotone

    Electric guitar

    An early American solid-body electric guitar from the Chicago maker Harmony, launched in 1952 - only two years after the Fender Broadcaster. The H44 Stratotone used a clever neck-through body with glued-on wings and a single pickup to keep costs down, and was played by Ritchie Valens and Carl Perkins.
