Key Features
More depth. More tone. More possibilities. The Supro Martinique Vibrato Americana takes classic American tone to the modern stage. Featuring a unique pickup selection and a striking '60s design - the Martinque encapsulates everything a Supro guitar should be. Vintage, bold, and ready to rock.
It's fitted with a pair of signature Vistatone pickups, delivering the fat bluesy tones that defined an era - with more midrange growl. But what makes the Martinique so special is the bridge-fitted Piezo pickup. Most commonly used on electro-acoustics, the Piezo pickup lets the Martinique's tonewoods contribute their distinctive character to every note you play. A semi-hollow chambered body lets you perform with total freedom on stage. Topped off with a vibrato tailpiece for even more creative flair, the Martinique showcases vintage Supro style in a model of truly unique quality.

The Vistatone pickup has been interwoven into the history of music for decades. It inspired Gibson's famous "PAF" humbucker. It's got a huge, bright tone that works perfectly for rock music. And since its invention in the early '50s, it's had an army of legendary fans, including David Bowie, Link Wray, The Cure's Robert Smith, and Jack White to name just a handful.
There's a reason they're so popular. The Vistatone's massive sound ensures every note you hit gets heard fully and with complete clarity. Hum-cancelling properties reduces noise interference. And they work superbly well with effects pedals such as overdrive and fuzz. They really are the stuff of legend.
One last trick. Supro have taken tone to the next level with the Martinique, fitting a Piezo pickup in the rosewood bridge. What this means, is that your sound will have more depth, more balance, and much more character. Piezo pickups are often used in electro-acoustic guitars, and allow the tonewoods to contribute to the guitar's tone. So, every note you play will resonate in distinctive style and shimmering Supro quality. This is electric guitar sound like never before.
Indulge in a truly effortless performance. Because the Supro Martinique is crafted for exceptional playability. It features a chambered mahogany semi-hollow design, creating a lightweight feel on stage. So, you can roam the stage and showcase your talents without restraint.
It's not just the body design, though. A sleek mahogany neck is layered with a silky-smooth rosewood fingerboard for easy transitions between frets. This way, every riff, lick, and chord can be performed without strain or fatigue, as your fingers fly across the entirety of the Martinique's scale. With playability like this, you won't want to put it down.
Fuel your performance with personal flair. Because the Supro Martinique features a vibrato tailpiece for the most exquisite sonic acrobatics. From dive-bombs and pitch shifts, to a discreet shimmering vibrato on your chord-playing – the elegant tremolo bridge gifts players with the ability to colour their tone how they wish. Showcase your own unique sound.
You can't be creative if you're restrained. So don't be. The Martinique's cutaway body gives you complete and uninhibited access to the very top of the fretboard - you needn't bridge over an awkward neck joint to hit notes at the top of the scale. Concentrate entirely on your music, without being held back.
The Martinique takes its place in Supro's famed Americana series. Capturing the sound and spirit of the Art Deco-influenced vintage line of Supro guitars, the Americana series resurrects the heritage of the '60s guitar boom. Each model boasts signature style and timeless Supro tone, along with period-correct components to truly bring back the look, sound, and feel of the '50s and '60s. If you want vintage, the Americana series simply breathes classic American style, with some neat modern enhancements.
