Ah, Jolana. I’ve owned a few (but not this specimen, I hasten to add).

If you want to see a more tradional Jolana guitar, try the Superstar.

^^^^^ - my stomach was feeling bad before on the bass pic - That guitar pic is  not doing me any favours

Have to admit I've never seen one before - can't even recall any pics and any mags/books - You do have some acquired taste, knowledge and info H - look forward to another chat soon - Northants Show and Crewe hopefully

I've been reflecting on the H7 stash - and where I want to take it - @Funkfingers @Bridgehouse - don't say "To the tip".

Are you calling my home a tip? A fair number of your rejects seem to be here. :-p

Well, I forgot to mention that I do want a custom-made Rickenbacker...

...with a difference: it'll have all Ric parts and similar construction, but will be a different shape.

I had a Hayman 2020 many years ago. I imagine you'd be hard pressed to find a clean example. They were made of the softest wood I've ever come across in a guitar, a hard stare would result in a dent. Very lightweight though and cool in geeky Brit fashion.

the 2020 was the semi acoustic one, so maple or spruce, i think. like an ES335.
the 1010 and 3030 were the solid bodies, made of sycamore and obeche.
