Wow, they are really bad! Very crude, the original bridge was something like balsa wood wrapped in metallic foil. Communist era prudence combined with little to no guitar building experience went into these Urals. The wiring is the craziest thing I've ever seen! Once they're wired point to point they sound great! Here's a good article about the Ural guitars, and they're still cheap to buy.

Nice! Yeah, I have read that they're unplayable junk, looks like you proved them wrong. Were the frets really that bad? Was it wear, or just poor work?

Has anyone ever played a Russian guitar??? Here's a Ural video demo we did...
May 26, 2012 5:19 PM CDT
Yeah man, I was looking around in the other threads and saw lots of cool guitars!
May 26, 2012 2:15 PM CDT
Wow. You have some cool stuff. Love the tiki! I'm very fond of waht you call "pawn shop guitars" too, and have posted pictures of some of mine in the other gear thread recently.

From We Never Learn:
"I went to the van to change my shirt, and the van had been broken into. So I went fucking completely apeshit. I went back in and started throwing shit, walking around all covered in sweat, threatening people with a screwdriver, "Where the fuck is my Walkman?" So they took me back to the hotel to chill out, and Tim [Warren] was missing. He was fucking a disco square."

What about the girls? Women love them some Roky , too . That is a great collection , and you NEED THIS AND THE "APRIL FOOLS DAY " INTERVIEW (FEATURED , IN FULL, ON "LIVE AT THE RITZ , 1987.".).
Alexander said:
YEBO,the one you need is:ROKY ERICKSON AND THE ALIENS-THE EVIL ONE(plus one) as the cd version,because it has the "modern humans radio show" as bonus cd.
This CD is a Roky`s best-and every good man should have something of his musical output!!

...At this very second , I'd say The Alarm Clocks' Ltd. Edition Live LP. If that fails ya , try any of the first four Black Oak Arkansas LPs , or some of the lowest rated Hard Rock LPs in Ugly Things' recent poll - Mint Tattoo (Self titled) , Epitaph (Same) or Frantic ! . OR (independent of said poll.) , you can't lose with either of Captain Beyond's 3 albums.

I'M GOING TO SEE BIG JAY MCNEELY. HE'S 85 , OR MORE. i SAW HIM RIGHT AFTER HE TURNED 80 , AND HE KILLED ! So , Honeyboy Edwards was the oldest performer I've ever seen,he was 93 or 94 the last time I saw him.He was a Bluesman , but , he always brought The Rock. I am going to read the previous comments , but I'm going to be 48 , soon , and I've got the Rheumatism in both eyes , and the misery in my back , and the Arthur - Itis , and I told so many lies in my day , I contracted Phlebitus (You'll have to be over 45 to understand that.).

Haha I was thinking what the hell is a steret?

I like both, but the Stones get the edge since I can't think of anything the B's did that I would consider "garage" or "punk". On the other hand, Get Off My Cloud by the Stones was so inspirational to what we support here in The Hideout. The B's may have lived the lifestyle, but their music leaned more towards pop.

Thanks Zaid, does it get anything like the Reverb Tank "drip"?
