Jolana Strat H-H Vintage – Late 1980s – Made in Former Czechoslovakia

Offered for sale is a vintage Jolana Strat H-H, manufactured in former Czechoslovakia (present-day Czech Republic) during the late 1980s.

Built during one of Jolana's final production periods, this guitar reflects the solid craftsmanship that made these European instruments increasingly appreciated among vintage guitar enthusiasts.

Unlike a traditional Stratocaster, this model features a pair of original humbuckers, giving it a fuller, more powerful voice while retaining excellent clarity and note definition. Its overall character naturally leans toward the early Superstrat concept, making it equally comfortable for classic rock, hard rock and blues while remaining remarkably expressive on clean sounds.

The slim maple neck is exceptionally comfortable, offering fast playability without sacrificing the feel of a true vintage instrument.
