28th January 2008 Musima Elektra and Elgita

The beautiful redburst Musima Elgita has just arrived. Cost something silly like £60. Has functioning wangbar, same pickups as the Musima Eterna, Migmas and half the million-or-so odd brands of East German semi acoustics made in the sixties and seventies, and a four-way rotary selector. Not plugged it in yet ;-)

These I found slightly amusing and disturbing. The urban myth about some guy plugging his 'electric' guitar into the mains might not have been a laughing matter for eastern-blockers with no idea what to do with their first electric guitar.

Not sure what that sticker says but it looks like a good chance of death if you do plug it in.
What the hell kind of input jack is that anyway?

I really think it says "don't plug the guitar into the mains, or you'll die". The Elgita has a 5-pin din plug, only three of which are used. Why three I dunno- is it in stereo?
