The history of Electric guitars' production in Czechoslavakia begun in 1953, when the Rezonet factory in Blatne started working under the new management of Mr. Josef Ruzicka. Back then, Resonet was a part of Drevokov cooperative, which means "wood metal". The company was making all sorts of wooden goods, including furniture. By 1955 first solidbody Tel... and Str... were already taking the market over the ocean, so it was about time to consider a solidbody electric "spanish" guitar. The guitar, called Graciozo, was based on F.Str..... which they brought to Resonet in 1955. Instead of copying the Str......, Rezonet designer mr. Vlcek based his guitar on Leo F.......s ideas, upgraded tremolo system and wiring. The silhouette of the new guitar was also different from Str..... Graciozo was an immediate success - and not only in Czechoslovakia. The export of Gracioso started somewhere in 1957/58, when Selmer company commenced the import of the guitar under the new name of Futurama (at the very beginning the imported guitars still had the "Grazioso" name, but it was soon changed to "Futurama"). It was before the American instruments flooded the European market, so at the time everyone in Europe and Great Britain played a Futurama. The list of Resonet Graciozo owners included George Harrison,Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and many others - that's the main reason for the late popularity of this instrument on the vintage guitar market. The first model was called simply "Futurama" and it was made untill 1959. Futurama (1) was the only guitar made at Resonet factory, all the later modifications were produced at different location (Hradec Kralove). Later Futurama modifications were called "Star" in Czechoslovakia. Resonet Grazioso/Futurama Specifications: Body: beech or maple. Neck: maple. Tuners: three on each side.
