Their tone is muted, with almost no sustain. As cool as Folkstars look, they don't sound good at all-at least as the acoustic instruments they were intended to be. If your guitar is Epiphone style and use imperial inch size 24-splines pots, it will work as wellFits common 1/4 inch split shaft imperial size pots, fits most USA made guitar and fine-knurled 24-spline shafts USA CTS/Fender/Bourns/DiMarzio s. The latter sold through Montgomery Ward stores and catalogs. Ideal for Gibson guitar like Les Paul, SG, ES-335 etc.

This Folkstar model came in two colors: red for the Supro model and black for the Airline model. Another advantage that the always-budget-aware Valco saw in Res-O-Glass-besides its light weight-was the ability to use colored resin, reducing the amount of finishing necessary. It has the classic "Gumby"-shaped headstock that's a Supro signature, and Kluson tuners with oversized butterfly-style buttons. The Kord King neck is described in the catalog as magnesium-reinforced wood. (On a Dobro, those screens would be metal.) That body, with its beveled, molded top providing a slightly arched look, is made of two pieces of the fiberglass material called Res-O-Glass, with a rubber binding seam in the center to attach both halves and inhibit internal rattling. It has a thinline body with a single resonator cone under a distinctive cover plate-are those the tips of tridents or sideways Es?-and two small round soundholes with cream-colored plastic screen covers in the upper body. Now let's get back to our Valco-made Supro Folkstar.
