Jolana Galaxis: The 1978 "Eastern Bloc Jazzmaster" you never knew you needed

Junkyard Gear is BACK, baby! And we're kicking things off with a DEEP DIVE into a hidden gem: a 1978 Jolana Galaxis a.k.a. The Eastern Bloc Jazzmaster you never knew you needed! The outcome of this video is such a big surprise!

Prepare to be confused! Adam Krofian, the BIGGEST eastern bloc guitar nerd on Earth, takes you on a sonic journey through the soul of this late 70s Czechoslovakian relic. To put it into a context, we'll compare it head-to-head with its 1978 Fender counterpart!

This is more than just a gear review. It‘s a celebration of the unexpected, because we believe that every instrument has a story to tell. Even one of the most underrated and mocked guitar models of the whole Jolana history.

Is the Jolana Galaxis the real deal? Can it compete with the legendary Jazzmaster? Watch and find out!
