Eugenio Group: Members Posts: 17 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: June 02 2002, 10:18 What was the fist electric guitar of Mike? Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: June 02 2002, 19:32 Mike has said that his first electric guitar was a 'Futura II'. I haven't yet been able to find any information on these guitars. One thing I wonder is whether it was in fact a Futurama - a brandname used by Selmer in the UK on Czech made solid electric guitars, during the late 50s and early 60s. Whatever it was, I'm fairly sure that it was some kind of cheap European made guitar. Back to top

They are made by company JOLANA (I have one - it's my first guitar too , (but not futura II, it's Saphir)). this kind of guitars are usable, but after changing of pick (they are really the worst).
