The Supro Clermont guitar is a retro-future fantasy instrument designed in conjunction with Nashville-based guitarist Ford Thurston. The concept for this guitar originated with the idea of taking a traditional Supro double-cut body shape, and proportionally increasing the body dimensions to match Ted McCarty’s groundbreaking semi-hollow 335 design. The Clermont maple body features a single, stylized “f-hole” on the upper bout and flat-top body with 3-ply binding. A three-piece bound maple neck with 24.75” scale, 12” radius and smooth satin finish is topped off with National-style “bowtie” inlays; and an elegant black “stinger” is featured on the back of an enlarged headstock with 3-per-side Kluson-style tuners. The Clermont is also equipped with a genuine Bigsby B7 vibrato system and roller bridge. The Clermont’s elegant lines, thoughtful hardware appointments and custom electronics come together to create a world-class, semi-hollow guitar that can handle a wide variety of musical situations from indie rock to surf instrumentals, western swing and everything in-between. While clearly possessing a unique set of tonal and visual aesthetics, the Clermont’s stylish body contours enable the instrument to fit perfectly into a 335-style hardshell case. The custom electronics package found on the Clermont features a calibrated pair of mini-humbucker-sized Gold Foil pickups for a crystal-clear, wide-range, single-coil sound. A 3-way toggle switch is joined by individual volume controls for each pickup and a master tone control, all topped with Hofner-style creme/gold “teacup” knobs. The Clermont features a “50’s wiring” scheme that preserves top-end sparkle when rolling the pickup volumes down, greatly enhancing the range of usable sounds in comparison to typical production guitars.
