Soviet Guitar - No, Comrade, No!

[mrjim123]

This HAS to be the UGLIEST instrument ever. Given the circumstances under which it was made it seems entirely fitting, though.

If I was still in "acquisition mode", I'd buy it--no problem.

Check out the other Soviet guitars the shop has on offer.

Mark Agnesi (Norm's Rare Guitars) would have a field day reviewing it!

Hi,

I think that's kind of cool. It needs some love but it's so ugly it's cute. Definitely a conversation starter.


Thank you for your indulgence,

But only if given permission by a party official.

True. However, it would fit in Mark's usual Wednesday review, where he reviews weird guitars.

That TOTALLY looks like something that would come out of soviet era Russia.

Looks like a bass that melted.

I love those old soviet units. There were some really unique designs from Russia and other eastern european countries back in the 60s and 70s. The design world was their oyster and everyone tried everything...

I like it so much, right down to the DIN-5 output jack. I’d rock that in a minute.

Da!

 

[ProgressiveDoom]

May be ugly but Damn!, what a great deal!. Only $203.26! and $115.18 to ship!

Those frets are sure in some kinda shape

 

[dtsamples]

And I’m not sure any of the neck bolts are actually touching the neck

At least it's not a Squier.
