FROM...!
but it is suppoesed to be from the late 60' from soeme eastern
european country (Czechoslovakia, DDR??)
and it's probably :
BILL NELSON COPY or EKO COPY?
mine ( i actually have 2 of them ha ha ... and probabyl nobody else
here around ha s another !!) had some STRANGE LOGO SAYING " KSINMI"
or "XINMI" or "XIMI" it was really hard to read !!
but i was also told it is Jolana... ??
THE THING IS THAT SOUND GREAT, WORKS PERFECT AND I WOULD SELL IT TO
ANYONE! besides it's a gift from my ex student!!!
oh yes- when the guy wh had done something on guitar opened it,
started laughing amd said " I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS THING CAN
ACTUALLY WORK AND ESPECIALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT SOUNDS SO
NICE ?? "

awesome,
i once met a guy who said it was probably jap (forgot the brandname
he mentioned, doh). He said it also came in US models and would be
worth a lot if so, yet a little if indeed jap. I dunno, at the time i
was young and rather intoxicated and more likely then not, the guy
was posing as know-all instead of being one.
Mine btw is definitly a crap guitar. the neck is thicker then a
bassball bat, the body is very unstable plywood, it's got jaglike
bridgesaddles with strings popping out, and the insides... well... i
know what the guy mentioned is saying... there's about a mile and a
half of wire in there. a lot of chokes too.
gigged with it once.. after the first song the e and b strings
crossed at the 12 fret, each one going over the other one's saddle.
It was funny but not very functional.
so far...

there (under 3pup solids) butmine has different pick ups, different
knob layout and a different trem.

This guy has some pictures of beautiful oddball stuff too...
and sells (playability/reliability improved) reissues of some of them
under his own Eastwood brand. I'm GASing badly for one of his Airline
reissues!
