My other post may be in the wrong forum, apologies if it is.

Hi everyone, This guitar I have had since 1991.. the Supro Acoustic S700 according to a user here , with bound fingerboard, spruce top and mahogany back and sides, Kluson Deluxe tuners, in great condition..It is over 40 years old, and was wondering if anyone might know a value for it, and If I should insure it..

Very sweet tone, beautiful singing harmonics, soulful terrain:

Hi Walter.

If you're serious about an appraisal that would be considered valid by your insurance company I think you should spend $50 and have Gruhn's Guitars give you an online appraisal.

Here's the link, just look for appraisals in the menu on the left:


This is a very cool looking acoustic and I don't think the $800 figure you suggested in your other post seems out of line, but it could be worth quite a bit more. I can imagine a couple of Valco lovers pitchin' down some dollars if this guitar were in an auction. It was built right before Supro closed down so the production numbers are likely very low.

If you get an appraisal we would appreciate a post back to let us know what Gruhn thinks.

Hi, thanks much for the info.. The $800 figure was when I purchased it in 1991, just to clarify..

For those interested, here is a video on youtube of this guitar in action. Yeah, I know, how many guitarists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 101, 1 to screw it in and the other 100 to say they could have done it better
Enjoy!
