This cool red guitar was in the Supro line for about a year. Unlike some of the other Supros of this era, this guitar has a girthy 15 1/4" body. It also has two fantastic Ralph Keller designed single coil pickups, Kluson "butterfly" tuners, stairstep tailpiece, and a fully intact Supro headstock logo, which are often missing that tiny little tail on the lightning bolt.
It's a little different from the Res-O-Glas you may be familiar with. I don't think it's made with fiberglass and resin, but instead, molded plastic. As such it's a little more brittle than other space age Supros. This one has been banged a few times in the last 55 years and shows a couple of cracks which seem to pose no structural issues. I've had this guitar for over twenty years, without any problems. Comes with a very cool 60's gig bag.
I've added a link of a guy demonstrating this guitar through a Supro amp. He begins about five minutes in. The guitar in the video is the same model, but not this actual guitar and is only intended as a sound sample. I've added a link of a guy demonstrating this guitar through a Supro amp.
