I restored my Musima Eterna Deluxe. It took me about 3 months. I was given only two "pieces of wood", the body and the neck. They were in a horrible state and I did the impossible. Of course from the old Musima only the outlines were left.

You can see the masterpiece here.



I spent on everything around 360$.

Everything began with my friend giving me the neck and body, as the fuel for a fire at the Summer Solstice Day. I didn't know what to do with them, but my conscious didn't let me throw away a classic. At that time I was working at a factory that made ventilation systems, and that actually helped me out a lot, since at the moment the idea came to me, I wasn't quite doing there what I was supposed to be, and designer ideas were sprouting out of my head here and there. I decided to start reviving Musima. I've had enough work materials and equipment there, plus I searched around in the web for information about restoring guitars. I started with cleaning the body and covered it in wood putty (on the photos it already cleaned from paint)





Cleaned the neck, replaced some frets and painted it.



I cut from stainless steel a panel for the head and placed the tune keys in their spots.



I cut out of an aluminum sheet the panel for the front





I've colored the aluminum front panel and cut out another panel with the word "HELL", because I wanted the guitar to look as brutal as possible.



Then I colored the body.



The hardest part was buying the electronics and accesories for the guitar. And put everything together.



In the end it came out better than I expected and all that was left to do was the wiring. After the wiring the guitar no longer looked and sounded like a CheesyGuitar.

That was the rise of Musima Inferna Deluxe...
