Musima 1655 HV demo

Musima 1655 HV, made in East Germany probably in early 70’s. For those who doesn’t know, it’s completely hollow thinline archtop. Some wear, but quite good playability, no buzzes with 1,5 mm action. Almost all parts are original except strap buttons and vibrato handle. Wiring is original- bridge- neck bridge- bridge with low cut- neck with high cut. Middle pot is neck volume and works only in the first position, third pot is master volume. Two machine heads repaired, but work ok. There’s a split in the back of the neck, not sure wood or lacquer, runs only in the middle, stops at the ends. Neck is stable and straight, trussrod works, but just in case, I’m adding a spare neck. I added springs under the pickups, so there’s a possibility to raise them closer to the strings. Photos-
