Obscure Japanese "Mustang" Clone - Sakai E20T - Repair & Demo
This time I thought I'd try a long edit, instead of splitting all the footage into two or three parts. Let's see if the algorithm likes it..
Deep dive as always. Everything you never knew you wanted to know and see about a quirky old guitar you probably never heard about before. Enjoy :)

Refret, New Bridge and Demo! - Mystery Migma - Guitar Repair Ep02
Переглядів 63010 місяців тому
Spoiler alert: Looks like the "Mystery Migma" remains just that: A mystery. I still couldn't find any solid info on this particular model. But that doesn't mean I can't get it back to playing condition and record some demo sounds! Still, if you know more, please reach out! http:/ noisyshack HeidemannInstruments.wordpress.com Disclaimer: Company brands and logos in this video belong...
A Flattop/Archtop Hybrid?! - Mystery Migma - Guitar Repair Ep01
Переглядів 64410 місяців тому
Hey there! Back to East German guitars! I promised it, so here we go. This is a very unusual design compared to the well established western standards. But nevertheless a very interesting (and spoiler alert: great sounding once I'm done with it) instrument. However it puts up a real fight before we can get to playing. Enjoy watching me struggle through this one! This will be a multi part mini s...
Funny Guitar (not enough strings) - Silvertone / Sakai 1491 Bass
Переглядів 2,2 тис.11 місяців тому
Everyone listening to this on phone speakers: Enjoy this (largely) silent movie about me playing around with my first ever bass guitar. Everyone else: Don't take this one too serious! I am neither a bass player, nor can I contribute any real knowledge about this certain model. This video has been marinating on my hard drive for way too long, so I finally decided to release it. I promise we'll g...
But it works?! Troubleshooting Ibanez SD9 Distortion Pedal
Переглядів 420Рік тому
Here's a quick one - and a little change from the usual program! This SD9 has an unusual fault: IT WORKS. Except - it doesn't. There's no bypass signal when you turn it off. Watch me troubleshoot this thing and roughly explain signal flow and the Ibanez/Maxon JFET switching circuit in the process. I'm not going to spoil the end here but: Even though the fault turned out to be less spectacular t...
Inspecting and playing a one-owner Musima Eterna deLuxe - untouched for decades!
Переглядів 81 тис.Рік тому
Not only was this 3-pickup beast the top-of-the-line solidbody guitar made by East-Germany's instrument-making mega corporation VEB Musima - it also spend the last decades completely untouched in its case alongside accessories from the period! Exactly like the original 1st owner put it away after its last show, probably sometime in the eighties. Let's dive right in and experience what it was re...
Single Pickup Offset Electric from East Germany - Deep Dive and Demo - Musima I/2 Elektrina
Переглядів 1,7 тис.Рік тому
Hey there! Another nerdy deep dive into all the ever important details of this very rare (and super cool if you ask me) Electric Guitar from East Germany. Made in the former GDR by VEB Musima from around 1963 to 1974 this Model "I/2" was the most basic installment of the "Elektrina" series of solid bodies at the time. While "Elgita" and "Eterna" featured two and three pickups respectively along...
Falcon 125-2C Demo & Restoration of a rare Vintage Amp - part 2/2
Переглядів 330Рік тому
Hi there! This time we're diving into the repair and restoration of a very rare vintage solid state guitar amplifier from Italy, made 1969. Given all the hype around old tube amplifiers made by the big name brands and the resulting in-depth documentation available about them, I really think it's a shame how there's almost nothing available about these lesser known gems! In part 1 I take a close...

Attempting to learn acoustic repair ... by dissecting a Musima E19 Western Acoustic Guitar
Переглядів 214Рік тому
Hey there! Another guitar from former East Germany's instrument making mega corporation MUSIMA on the bench! It's a weird hybrid between a classical and a steel string flat top and obviously aimed at the lower end of the market. It's in bad shape and I decided to pull it apart, trying my hand at important repair techniques like bridge and neck removal in the process. Exactly the kind of thing t...
Top of the Line Organ - Full Tour - Farfisa Pergamon
Переглядів 14 тис.Рік тому
I recently had to give away my Farfisa Pergamon electronic organ, but don't worry, it's off to a great new home. I couldn't let it go though before filming quite a comprehensive rundown of the features and sounds. This thing sounds great and it's just endless fun to tinker around and explore new sonic combinations. If you have the space available, by all means, get one! I hope you enjoy this so...
Repair declined?! - Inspecting a Musima 1657 Bass Guitar
Переглядів 3,1 тис.Рік тому
A litte bonus episode to the Musima 1657 guitar restoration series! In this video we will look at the bass version of the 1657 in detail. I would have liked to bring it back to life, but in the end I figured to pass on the job. It's still a valuable lerning experience and a good exercise in saying "no" so I wanted to share it here! Disclaimer: Whenever I call this thing a "guitar" in the video,...

This is the final episode of this video series. I will assemble the guitar and play it through 3 different amplifiers. A clean "Princeton" style combo with reverb, a 5W tube amp for some chrunchy tones and finally the really fun part: I dragged out an authentic East German guitar amplifier from my collection, to hear what those folks back then might have heard! ;) Thanks for watching! Hi my nam...
