1967 Rickenbacker 6000 Bantar Electric 5-String Banjo.1960s Kawai solidbody electric in Daphne Blue.1959 Jolana Neoton hollow body electric from Czech.© 2011, Guitarz - The Original Guitar Blog - now in its 10th year! The photos in this blog post are my own work, so please do not copy or re-use without asking permission first! All in all, it's a highly playable no-nonsense guitar, and I would happily play it in a band situation. I admit the action could be improved upon, it has a slight tendency to neck heaviness (small body, large headstock) and it does have a few little rattles here and there, but to me these add to the character of the instrument. So yeah, I LIKE this little ugly duckling of a guitar. Sure, it's a compromise to some people, but as I've said you can bring the tone control into play. So, for a single pickup guitar, I'd argue, the obvious position for a pickup is in the centre. And then tell me that that's NOT lead guitar playing. Yup, you've guessed it, it's the neck pickup. Most guitarists rate Jimi Hendrix, so I say to them check out video footage of Hendrix (the Hendrix at Woodstock DVD is a good one), check out the close ups and tell me what pickup he uses for most of his solos. Who wants to be a rhythm guitarist? So this totally erroneous notion that the neck pickup is the rhythm pickup and the bridge pickup is the lead pickup, i.e. Put simply, the mental process goes like this: Lead guitar is cool, rhythm is boring. I think this goes back to guitars that have those stupid "Rhythm/Treble" legends on their pickup selector switches (Yeah, Gibson and their imitators!). I hear so many people say, "Oh, I only ever use the bridge pickup," and that is something that never ceases to amaze me. The other thing that might freak you out is the position of the pickup, which as I have mentioned already is slap bang in the centre of the body. Still it doesn't take too much perseverance to become accustomed to the fingerboard radius, and I feel the results are well worth it because this guitar is quite playable once you get over that initial shock.

Boy, that fingerboard ain't half got a curve to it! If you prefer your fingerboards flat or virtually flat, you'd be in for a shock with this Jolana. The biggest hurdle to overcome is the high radius of the fingerboard. I admit I found it awkward to play at first. Well, either they had a particularly bad example, or else - as I suspect - they weren't trying hard enough to get on with the guitar and to allow it to shine. I've read reviews of this guitar where the owner has commented with words to the effect that it is virtually unplayable.
