I'm not sure what the model is. Maybe "Tremolectric" 440? Big single coil pickups Reso-glass top and back. Its got an electronic tremolo which you can control with the little red switch under the neck pickup.

Any Idea what these sell for?

It's just a circuit in side with a little light bulb and the little switch works like a little electric whammy bar so you use your pinky to wiggle the trem. You can change the sound of the trem from soft to hard by changing the size of the light bulb.

That's a Supro Bermuda. Just like this one, I believe.

And... How much did you pay for yours?

Thank for the info. Yes that is the same guitar. It came into My friends shop today. I haven't decied If I will keep it. Price is about the same as the one you posted,but it's in better condition. Pretty much near mint.No case but got a nice Crafter gigbag with it. I saw another one at My rare guitars but It was an older model that had a different headstock and I think the body was made of wood(and no Electrotrem).

They're not cheap but I don't think they generally go for anything near $1200. More like $350-600. Though, I'm basing that on a different, although similar looking, model.

That looks like fun. I like the gumdrop switch on there. That Mustang switch would be better as a toggle.

it would make controlling the tremolo quite easy when you're playing "rumble".
