Esteban Esteban Midnight Legacy solid body electric on RigShare
If you're aware of Esteban and his late-night home shopping appearances hawking bad acoustic guitars, then you know the man's name and dubious legacy. But did you know that he made a solid body electric guitar that has the sound of a Strat with the playability and neck profile of a Les Paul? Well, he did and he only offered this one model before going back to selling his bad acoustic guitars. Heck, he probably didn't actually have anything to do with this model, and that's what makes it such a nice little sleeper of a guitar. It's solidly built, has good weight to it, an easy to play neck and the single coil sounds of a Strat. If you're familiar with Dr. Groovy, Scott Grove, then you know that he's snatching up these Midnight Legacy guitars whenever he finds them because they're a solid, inexpensive guitar. This specimen has a smaller-than-a-quarter sized chip in the finish at the bottom of the body that has been colored back in with black Sharpie, but otherwise the rest of the guitar is in very good, clean shape. There are scratches on the pickguard from normal play, but nothing too bad. The neck is straight, I have set it up and intonated it and all of the pickups and settings work. This is a good, cheap guitar with the craziest headstock design ever, but it's sure a fun little one to play and you won't care if the kids get their grubby hands on it or if your jamming buddies shred with this thing.

Hampton

Vintage Inspiration The Hampton is a 21st-century update of the Supro electric solidbody guitar. The elegant comfort of the 1960’s-era beveled-edge Ozark body shape and the mighty sound of the original field-coil pickups have been enhanced with an ultra-fast satin neck, Tune-o-matic bridge and updated wave tailpiece. The result is a modern player’s instrument with old-school style and authentic Supro tone! Gold Foil Pickups The Hampton’s Gold Foil pickups use the same internal construction as the original “Clear-tone” pickups, providing a massive, broadband sound with remarkably low noise for a single-coil design. The mini-humbucker-sized version of the Supro Gold Foil pickup found in this guitar has the same internal construction as the humbucker-sized versions found in the other Island Series models. The Hampton’s bridge pickup is wound slightly hotter than the others, while the middle pickup is RWRP, providing fully hum-cancelling sound in the “2 and 4” positions of the 5-way blade switch. Modern Construction The time-tested tone-wood recipe of an alder body paired with a 25 ½”-scale maple neck and rosewood fretboard combine with the Hampton’s vintage-correct pickups to produce an exceptionally dynamic playing experience. Blending vintage American tone with refined set-neck design, the Supro Hampton is intended for the professional musician who needs an ergonomic and versatile guitar capable of handling most genres of music with authority. The three pickups cover a huge range of tones, from fat single-coil jazz tones in the neck position to spanky funk tones and sparkling twang in the middle, and pure rock power when the bridge pickup is selected.

Westbury

Vintage Inspiration The Westbury is a 21st-century update of the Supro electric solidbody guitar. The elegant comfort of the 1960’s-era beveled-edge Ozark body shape and the mighty sound of the original field-coil pickups have been enhanced with an ultra-fast satin neck, Tune-o-matic bridge and updated wave tailpiece. The result is a modern player’s instrument with old-school style and authentic Supro tone! Gold Foil Pickups The unique Gold Foil pickups found in the Supro Westbury are faithful reproductions of the original magnetics developed for Valco by Ralph Keller in the early 1950s. These pickups, which gave voice to the vintage Chicago-made Supro guitars, have a massive, broadband sound with remarkably low noise for a single-coil design. The humbucker-sized Gold Foil bridge pickup found in the Westbury is slightly overwound, while the neck pickup is reverse-wound in order to provide fully hum-cancelling sound when the two pickups are combined by selecting the middle position of the 3-way toggle switch. Modern Construction The time-tested tone-wood recipe of an alder body paired with a 25 ½”-scale maple neck and rosewood fretboard combine with the Westbury’s vintage-correct pickups to produce an exceptionally dynamic playing experience. Blending vintage American tone with refined set-neck design, the Supro Westbury is intended for the professional musician who needs an ergonomic and versatile guitar capable of handling most genres of music with authority. The Westbury’s dual-pickup configuration lets the player switch effortlessly between warm, single-coil neck pickup sounds, throaty bridge tones, or a perfectly balanced, parallel combination of both pickups for rhythm work.
