Refret, New Bridge and Demo! - Mystery Migma - Guitar Repair Ep02
Spoiler alert: Looks like the "Mystery Migma" remains just that: A mystery. I still couldn't find any solid info on this particular model. But that doesn't mean I can't get it back to playing condition and record some demo sounds! Still, if you know more, please reach out!

A Flattop/Archtop Hybrid?! - Mystery Migma - Guitar Repair Ep01
Просмотров 5855 месяцев назад
Hey there! Back to East German guitars! I promised it, so here we go. This is a very unusual design compared to the well established western standards. But nevertheless a very interesting (and spoiler alert: great sounding once I'm done with it) instrument. However it puts up a real fight before we can get to playing. Enjoy watching me struggle through this one! This will be a multi part mini s...
Funny Guitar (not enough strings) - Silvertone / Sakai 1491 Bass
Просмотров 2 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Everyone listening to this on phone speakers: Enjoy this (largely) silent movie about me playing around with my first ever bass guitar. Everyone else: Don't take this one too serious! I am neither a bass player, nor can I contribute any real knowledge about this certain model. This video has been marinating on my hard drive for way too long, so I finally decided to release it. I promise we'll g...
But it works?! Troubleshooting Ibanez SD9 Distortion Pedal
Просмотров 3176 месяцев назад
Here's a quick one - and a little change from the usual program! This SD9 has an unusual fault: IT WORKS. Except - it doesn't. There's no bypass signal when you turn it off. Watch me troubleshoot this thing and roughly explain signal flow and the Ibanez/Maxon JFET switching circuit in the process. I'm not going to spoil the end here but: Even though the fault turned out to be less spectacular t...
Inspecting and playing a one-owner Musima Eterna deLuxe - untouched for decades!

Not only was this 3-pickup beast the top-of-the-line solidbody guitar made by East-Germany's instrument-making mega corporation VEB Musima - it also spend the last decades completely untouched in its case alongside accessories from the period! Exactly like the original 1st owner put it away after its last show, probably sometime in the eighties. Let's dive right in and experience what it was re...
Single Pickup Offset Electric from East Germany - Deep Dive and Demo - Musima I/2 Elektrina
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.8 месяцев назад
Hey there! Another nerdy deep dive into all the ever important details of this very rare (and super cool if you ask me) Electric Guitar from East Germany. Made in the former GDR by VEB Musima from around 1963 to 1974 this Model "I/2" was the most basic installment of the "Elektrina" series of solid bodies at the time. While "Elgita" and "Eterna" featured two and three pickups respectively along...
Falcon 125-2C Demo & Restoration of a rare Vintage Amp - part 2/2

Hi there! This time we're diving into the repair and restoration of a very rare vintage solid state guitar amplifier from Italy, made 1969. Given all the hype around old tube amplifiers made by the big name brands and the resulting in-depth documentation available about them, I really think it's a shame how there's almost nothing available about these lesser known gems! In part 1 I take a close...

Attempting to learn acoustic repair ... by dissecting a Musima E19 Western Acoustic Guitar
Просмотров 178Год назад
Hey there! Another guitar from former East Germany's instrument making mega corporation MUSIMA on the bench! It's a weird hybrid between a classical and a steel string flat top and obviously aimed at the lower end of the market. It's in bad shape and I decided to pull it apart, trying my hand at important repair techniques like bridge and neck removal in the process. Exactly the kind of thing t...

A litte bonus episode to the Musima 1657 guitar restoration series! In this video we will look at the bass version of the 1657 in detail. I would have liked to bring it back to life, but in the end I figured to pass on the job. It's still a valuable lerning experience and a good exercise in saying "no" so I wanted to share it here!

    Thank you for this video. I don't play or know much of guitars but there's been one like this in house for 30 years. Color scheme is different though. Don't have an amp to test it so was trying to use multimeter to check resistance on the output to at least see if pickups are alive. It's been bugging me how to switch between respective pickups with the switches but it's actually pretty simple and logical.

    I believe the reason for the flatwounds is the zero fret,probably slide easily over it without chewing the fret up,I would take the whole guitar apart, just to clean it up,I wouldn't clean the rusty parts like the pickguard screws but I would shine the body up,lube all the parts,and do a thorough set up,nice find.

    Interesting guitar. I have just restored an old Antoria archtop. Undoubtedly made in Bavaria / East Germany in the 50s or 60s. Same shape headstock as Framus guitars.. Probably made in the same factory. It has the same neck join as that one except it was a glued join. Seems to be the same as a violin/double bass neck join. I had to reset the neck as the angle was like that one and it also only had the top part of the bridge! There is a great book available from Bohemian Guitars CZ. History of the East German archtop guitar industry. Not available in the UK unfortunately.

    Good afternoon, I live in Russia, but sometimes I come across videos from different countries about old instruments because I love old instruments from socialist countries. Most of all, I like the Czechoslovak guitars of the Iolana concern, they made great guitars there. But I play keyboards myself. If anyone wants to listen to the sound of instruments from the socialist bloc in the mix, we have recorded an album on them. There are Vermona Piano Strings (GDR), Organ Vilnius (USSR), bass Ural 510 - l (USSR). guitar Stella (USSR), The Unitra Eltra Eltronic organ (Poland), Regent amplifiers (GDR) and Corvette (USSR), but also some Western instruments of the 60s and 70s (Philips Philicorda organ) and some more, I have already forgotten. ruclips.net/video/i3i45dIcjhU/видео.html

    I gotta say, for the condition it was in, just coming out of the case with those ancient strings on it, it sounded AMAZING. Clean it up (not TOO much, needs to keep that vintage look), get some new strings on it and a good setup, and that could be a really versatile working musician's instrument again!

    I'm sorry, you are very slow watching Mr. Roger's neighborhood? The guitar is not that interesting. Maybe it's the impression the single-coil pickups could be P90 like DiMarzio's and without canceling noise from shielding - mostly noise also - microphonic from those 3 very old guitar. Good luck & Cheers
