About This Listing

A wonderful archtop from the markneukirchener luthier centre in the GDR,

it could be a Marma, Migma, Fasan, Roger, etc, at some point most of the smaller brands were just called Musima. While still having the same luthiers they were capable of making fantastic guitars in the early years, until the materials got sparse and cheap and the quality went down.

This one is reminds mostly of the Musima 'Record', using some of the same parts and the headstock, but nobody ever heard of a Florentine cut archtop by Musima, I've never seen a second one, so I'm just guessing she would be called a Musima.

With that cutaway and being thinline it resembles pretty much a Gibson 125 or Byrdland, also that sunburst finish is mimicking a Gibson style.

It is just very well made and a very beautiful instrument, astounding craftsmanship all around.
