Yay it arrived! Not tested, but the wiring seems intact. Prefer the burst on this older one, and the pickguard is pointier which is kinda cool.
Needs new knobs. These ones are weird and solid aluminium.

Thats very cool, I'd love to have a cool old guitar like this. Where do you find all the cool old guitars you have?

There were a few nifty 'Eurodrek' guitars in a museum we visited whilst in Cherigov in the Ukraine, Tim. Reeeeally wished I'd taken a picture for you, I was chatting to the promoter about the nearby factory that used to pump out cheapo electrics for years. Can't remember the name for the life me of though.

This one was on German ebay. I asked the seller nicely and he agreed to ship here.

Doog, been looking through the flickr pics of the tour. Looks awesome to the max. I absolutely love eastern-bloc architecture and way backward fashions. How much slumming it on floors was involved? Always fancied visiting Lviv. What place was your highlight?

Still cleaning this Musima. Got the neck off as it needs a shim. Electrics work perfectly, so I'm not touching anything even if they are a bit messy. Two new tuner buttons ordered- we'll see if they fit. Stewart- neck is thinner than the stock neck on the other Musima, so still on the chunky side, but definately do-able.
