Not the wackiest one-off Valco ever made, but I was running low on mystery solidbodies. Hopefully I’ll get it around the middle of this week. This definitely looks like a “floor sweep” guitar to me. It’s somewhere in between a Supro Rhythm Master and National Val Trol Baron, which jives with the 1959 serial. However, the neck tilt system says 1961 or later. And it appears that this neck (black finish, straight headstock, bound fretboard) was not swiped from any catalogued model, but probably finished for this guitar.

It showed up today. No major surprises, though it's interesting to see how they covered up the old neck joint cavity. Replacement nut, nice replica pickguard, some binding rot but otherwise just light cosmetic wear. This is the first time I've played a guitar with these mini-pots, but it turns out they're wired just like normal Valco controls. \
