Just looking at a post that Coastie started 3 1/2 yrs ago about Supro Ozarks.
But instead of bringing that post back I'd thought I'd start a new one.
I've had this '53 Supro Ozark for about 15 yrs , It's a great player with a FAT neck and I've used it for slide and standard set-up playing. And it's got tone from the gods , especially for slide 8)
But the really cool thing about it is what is on the case, the original one.
Somewhere down the line Bonnie Raitt or someone in her band or touring with her in another band, in '78/ '79 owned this guitar..... possibly. I say possibly because in all the research i've done (not a huge amount) on this guitar, I have never seen a photo of Bonnie or anyone else playing a Supro Ozark. The only thing I haven't really tried is trying to contact Bonnie herself, which in itself is probably a huge task.
Maybe some of the Bonnie Raitt fans here can help me solve the mystery :shock: :lol:
Also, I would love to see some other cool Supro Ozarks and even other Valco made Ozark type guitars... if ya got-em!
