1958 Grazioso Resonet Futurama
Manufactured for a very short period in the late 1950s, the Resonet Grazioso guitar
was made by the Drevokov company in Czechoslovakia.
Strongly inspired by the Fender Stratocaster, it featured some advanced designs like its
complex tremolo unit and individual pick-up selector switches.
Because the embargo in place on American made goods, the Selmer Company in London
decided to import the Grazioso and renamed it the Futurama:
it was certainly the best and most futuristic electric guitar available in the UK at the time.
It became the first solid body guitar of many young English rock’n’rollers, among them
Albert Lee, Jimmy Page and of course George Harrison.
Very clean original guitar with a very comfortable round neck profile and bright sound.
An incredibly rare instrument with the exact same specifications
as George Harrison's and Jimmy Page's first electric guitars.
