Sharapov Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Hi everyone! MY name is Alex. I'm a happy owner of Chech Les Paul '82. I bet most of people hanging here haven't even heard of similar guitar. But have to say it's a very rare instrument, crafted while Soviets, which has very specific sound. A month ago I wrote a song. Last week I recorded it with my Italian colleague. For playing guitar parts I used this instrument. Please, check out the sound of my guitar:
mosquito3 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 That's cool man, congrats But...i didn't get what kind of Les Paul is that. Check is a brand? PS: Are you a relative of Maria Sharapova, the famale hot tennis player?

PS: Are you a relative of Maria Sharapova, the famale hot tennis player? Thanks! Sorry, I made a typo. Czech version of Les Paul, not Chech. There's a company in Czechia called Jolana which produces pro copies of Gibson Les Paul. Actually I have no idea if it's a licensed brand or not but have to say their guitars are very good. Mine is from 80's. I took off its default pick-ups and set Seymour Duncan. After that I bought and set Bigsby. I'm not a relative of Maria Sharapova haha. At least I haven't heard if somebody from my ancestors used to play tennis
btoth76 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Not many know "on the other side of the iron-curtain" that there were some really great east-european instrument makers, like Jolana, Musima, Cremona, etc. The Böhm-Regent amps I use probably the best tube amps - were built in German Democratic(!) Republic in late 60s. Hungary was great at building Hi-Fi, PA equipment as well: EAG, BEAG, Videoton - companies of the "red" past were producing world-class electronics at that time. The german Böhm company still exist under name Vermona and produces excellent Reverb devices, mixers, cross-overs, and filters. These east-european vintage instruments are increasing in price - good investments too!
