Hello Are there any guys from Cuba on TB ? If yes - I'd have a BIG QUESTION for all ya. There was a really strong rumour that during the 70's and 80's Poland and USSR exported guitars on Cuba. Dont even know if it were acoustics or electrics, but I'd love to know if any of you had...

Hello again ! A friend of mine has found his old bass guitar, and we together started to wonder about it. Clearly, this is a luthier hand made guitar from Poland. The neck is from Defil guitar, machine heads are from Polish manufactury PRESTO, and pickups are made by Polish factory Muza. So...
