Wilco Loft Sale - Jolana Iris '70s Bright Green owned by Jeff Tweedy

One of the many '70s Soviet era Jolana guitars made in Czechoslovakia we have here at the Loft.  Part of one of Jeff Tweedy's mini collections.  Most models were designed as if they were trying to make a copy of a Western guitar by memory. The Jolana Iris was their version of a single pickup telecaster of course. There is a beautiful tele style bass version as well. This one hung in the Loft's studio control room for a few years along with a red one, a greenburst one, and a sunburst one. Each has their own differences. This one has that great bright green (we think it was a refinish)  the one rail pickups, the upside-down logo inside the F hole, and the crazy bent arching bridge.  They all have unscrewable top strap buttons that reveal a flathead screwdriver. Seriously. How could I make something like that up? It's true!

It's a real stone cold looker, that's for damn sure.

This guitar will be shipped in a gigbag along with a certificate of authenticity signed by Jeff Tweedy stating yes, this indeed belonged to him.
