I have this crazy hollowbody guitar from the 1960s and I need help with identifying it. The electronics are Valco and the pickguard appears to be from a Supro Belmont. The headstock also appears to be Supro and the tuners are Grovers from the 60s. What is throwing me off besides the fact that I cannot find a matching Supro model is that the inlays in the fretboard appear to be Gretch. When I bought it, the lady was somewhat clueless on its origin and said that it was a kit guitar. So yeah...it would be really cool if I could get some help on identifying this.

Hey Steve.
This has come up before. I think when Valco went out of business someone bought up a bunch of their parts and packaged "kit" guitars to sell.
Here's another thread where this has been discussed. Unfortunately Michael took his pictures down but hopefully, he'll stop by and take a look at your guitar.
