King of Kings. Probably the most top-end model electric guitar, produced in the Warsaw Pact countries (GDR) since 50s. VERY RARE HEADSTOCK!
The upper deck of this rather large guitar is made of spruce, the lower deck is made of maple. The ebony pad of the neck is marked with peroid ovals, duplicated on the edge. This Record has an anchor rod, the adjusting nut of which is deduced in the head of the neck and covered with a standard celluloid petal for German guitars. The neck is attached to the body by two screws, screwed into the futuroids immured under the trim. The mensure is the traditional "German" 640 mm. On the whole, perhaps we could say that the Record is built in the Empire style.
The beautiful bridge is unattached to the body with the ability to adjust the height.
The electronics are typical for MUSIMAs instruments of that time. Two single high output pickups "Simeto" in metal housings with adjustable magnets, switcher, tone and volume. Sounds Record, certainly great! This is a very common tool mighty - to jazz, classic rock and roll.
