Jolana was a Czechoslovakian guitar brand, producing electric guitars and basses from 1953 to 1989. During the 1960s, Jolana supposedly gained popularity in the UK with George Harrison, Jimmy Page as well as Eric Clapton who are said to have used the Futurama model.
When the quality of Czech Guitars steadily decreased, the marketing increasingly concentrated on countries within the Eastern bloc. In spite of their rather negative reputation, Jolana guitars are still appreciated among collectors. Read more about Jolana Guitars

Schecter Guitar Research, commonly known simply as Schecter, is an American guitar manufacturer. In 1976, David Schecter opened Schecter Guitar Research, a repair shop in Van Nuys, California.
The modest repair shop manufactured replacement guitar necks and bodies, complete pickup assemblies, bridges, pickguards, tuners, knobs, potentiometers, and miscellaneous other guitar parts.
By the late 1970s Schecter offered more than 400 guitar parts, but did not offer any finished instruments. In 1979, Schecter offered, for the first time, its own fully-assembled electric guitars.
These guitars were custom shop models based on Fender designs. They were considered to be very high quality and very expensive, and were sold only by twenty retailers across the United States.
Today, the company mass-produces its own line of electric guitars, bass guitars, and steel-string acoustic guitars.

Vintage Silvertone Guitars
Silvertone was the brand name used by Sears for their line of musical instruments and sound equipment from the 1930s to 1972.
Replacing the Supertone brand, Silvertone had already been the brand on Sears' radios and phonographs since 1915.
Probably best known for their line of well made and inexpensive guitars, the brand became popular with novice musicians.
Jerry Garcia, Rudy Sarzo, Chet Atkins, Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, Tom Fogerty, James Hetfield, Dave Grohl, Phil Keaggy, Mark Knopfler, Mikee Plastik, and countless others had a Silvertone for their first electric, bass, or acoustic guitar.
