Wow look at this ugly ducklin'

Did they really think they were even close to the RD Artist??
The Czech luthiers have come a long way since the seventies

Jolana Disko Bass - RD Artist Copy

[Chris P.]

It has something nice! But a really bad copy indeed.

I have an old Jolana semisolid. Bad too;)

I like it!  Of course, looking at the pictures, it doesn't look as nice up close.  The rough looking plate reminds me of Jerry Garcia's Alligator strat..

I kinda like it- headstock has a dano/silvertone vibe.  The control plate is probably made from hubcaps off an old Skoda.   

Probably a bad sign that there is a bag of charcoal sitting next to it.

Have you seen the cheesy guitars site? It has info on Eastern bloc guitars including Jolana. See these links: http://meatexz.com/cheesyguitars/jolana.html

No, there is always room for improvement. It may serve a purpose after all.
