Now available from the team at Supro is the Jet Airliner Lap Steel Guitar (1466BW)
Designed by David Koltai, with technical assistance from master designer Trev Wilkinson and vintage pickup expert Ken Calvet, this is an updated reissue of the Supro electric lap steel guitar that was manufactured in the early 1960s.
The Jet Airliner’s vintage-correct body shape and ‘Art Deco’ aesthetics are enhanced with an intonation-friendly, string-through-body hardtail bridge, whilst the unique Silver Foil pickup found in the Supro Jet Airliner is a faithful reproduction of the original “Clear-tone” unit developed for Valco by Ralph Keller in the early 1950s. This has a massive, broadband sound with remarkably low noise for a single-coil design.
The humbucker-sized version of the Supro Silver Foil pickup used in the Jet Airliner is slightly overwound and located right at the harmonic ‘sweet spot’
Ideal for a wide variety of styles such as country, blues, western swing and rock, the Jet Airliner comes complete with carry bag and is available from all Supro dealers for just £369 UK rrp.

Hello,
reading about Supro Jet Airliner landing in Europe, I’d like to know what this means.
For quit a time I’ve been looking for this lap steel and it would make me happy if I could order from stock more nearby where I live (Netherlands).
Also I have a few questions:
Why is it that Supro when advertising the Jet Airliner, never talks about the wood that’s been used, such as neck and body?
Can you tell me something about it?
I also like to know the total costs by ordering it, meaning the lapsteelprice + transport.
Yours sincerely,
Frans
