The 1968 Supro Lexington was one of the last electric guitar models produced by the Valco company before it ceased operations that year. It is known for its quirky vintage design and sound, which is a hallmark of Valco's instruments from the 1960s.

The Lexington was a product of the Valco-Kay merger, which took place around 1967. After the merger, Valco quickly ran into financial trouble and went out of business in 1968.

Valco's instruments, including the Lexington, were part of the famous Chicago blues sound of the 1950s and 1960s. The Lexington, with its distinct vintage character, carries on this legacy.

The Lexington's asymmetrical double-cutaway shape bears a strong resemblance to the Fender Jaguar or Jazzmaster but features a thinner waist.

Unlike some other Supro models of the era that used fiberglass bodies, the Lexington was made of solid wood.

Valco equipped its guitars with a "Lifetime Kord-King" neck, which used a non-adjustable metal U-shaped rod. While designed to be sturdy, any factory flaws would result in permanent playability issues.

What look like humbucker pickups are actually overwound single-coils. The unique design places the magnet next to the bobbin rather than underneath, producing a hot and wide-ranging tone.

The Lexington was equipped with a distinctive tremolo vibrato system. The higher-end models also featured a built-in string damper.

The two-pickup version with a tremolo is model S535 or S635.

The guitar we have here is in good condition with some normal player wear for a guitar of it's age. It retains all of it's original parts, tuning keys, and trem arm. It does not come with a case.
