The beast from the east! This GDR-made Musima Deluxe is a cool vintage instrument for the budget conscious. It does not suck - in fact it's quite good: the fat neck is a joy to play, the fingerboard and frets are smooth, the construction is very solid and the twin single coils have a lot of character. It can get extremely bright, giving a cool scratchy, Shellac-like sound, but of course the tone knob allows you to tame it and get more common sounds. You can play behind the bridge as well. Good for noisy experimental stuff, scratchy punk and Tom Waits-style broken blues.

Condition: very good for its age, with only light play wear.

Mods / Repairs: nope

Includes: a cool strap
