Vintage guitars for sale: Futurama

When plugged into an amplifier, this guitar produces the expected sound. I do believe all pick ups are functioning, though I??m not an expert. Note, this guitar may be in need of cleaning or some servicing. A nickel has been placed on the 12th fret to give an idea of the action. This guitar does come with a soft vintage case. Please view all pictures before bidding. Please don??t hesitate to contact us with any questions. Thank you for viewing our listing. DBE

Unusual version of the Futurama ii guitar manufactured by Jolana in Czechoslovakia. These guitars were imported by Selmer into the UK in the early 60??s, and were found in many of the bands of the time. This one (no 1055) had a hippy transformation, and was painted yellow with a black and gold scratchplate, but has now been restored to red / pearloid more in line with its original appearance. Most of the hardware is original, including the pickups which still work in a rather vintage way. The ... more

Mid 60s Futurama in full working order, you can see from the pictures any issues it might have the biggest is some damage that occurred in transit after I'd sold it on Reverb previously, the trem arm had been pushed through the back
Luckily it could be glued and pushed back but some splinters were lost and it's an obvious repair. To be honest the picture makes it look a lot worse than it is
All electrics work and one of the pickups has been rewound, considering it's age it's pretty good ... more

Early 1960s Jolana Futurama, sold to me in Hanks on Denmark street London
George Harrison played a Futurama very similar to this, early in his career
The action is good, currently set up on light strings that give it a strat style twang. The guitar is great to play, with a neck shape supposedly modelled off of early strats.
Things to note:
The pickups are slightly microphonic due to age
The switches can be intermittent but do work
These issues are manageable and were ... more
