I'm curious if anybody here is familiar with this formerly Czechoslovakian brand making guitars. One of them was used by George Harrison!

Their most known models were Grazioso (the one that Harrison owned) and Diamant (Les Paul like guitar)

Anyway, the most interesting thing about these guitars is - they are being made again, they sound amazing, and they are BEAUTIES!

Also they've got pretty good hardware considering they're price (top models about 900$).

If anyone is interested in them, here's some talking about the company in English http://jolanaguitars.com/en/history/

But - the main reason why I made this thread is the question - has anyone of you ever heard about them? :happy:

Haha yes, it was my first guitar ever - borrowed from my uncle. The sound was ok, now when I think of it, it's just nostalgic. Man, years have passed.

But the real question is - if anybody outside of Czechoslovakia knows about them? :D
