6$ rare guitar restoration | Russian 7 strings guitar repair

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hi, everybody. Today I will try to restore the guitar. I bought this for $6 at a flea market. It's in a terrible state. I've never seen a Russian 7 string guitar before. These guitars are very rare. I hope you enjoy my restoration. Thank you for watching.

    Thank you for keeping it with 7 strings. I hated how in another restoration an old 1930s parlor guitar was changed from 7 strings to only 6 strings. This killed its individuality. Thank you for preserving this instruments uniqueness!

    Эта гитара с "олимпийской" символикой, произведена в 1980-м году, когда в СССР проводили олимпиаду. Советский 6-струнки были гораздо реже, чем 7-струнки. Так что это далеко не "раритет". Ваша работа понравилась! Чувствуется "рука мастера"! В конечном итоге, получился очень неплохой инструмент, который выглядит далеко не "ширпотребом", как в начале видео. И звучит гитара тоже достойно. (кстати, у меня была такая гитара в начале 70-х. Шестиструнку купить не смог)

    The 7 String Guitar is typically tuned like a Standard 6 String Guitar w/ the addition of a Low B on the Bass Side, however in Russia they use Open G Tuning which is D, G, B, D G, B, D, so a 7 String Slack Key Guitar. You can use Open G Tuning for Slide playing.

    Beautiful job man! Five years ago a friend of mine donated me a guitar just like this (but a 6 string and in natural finish, no sunburst). He had it from his grandpa, a Greek immigrant in Russia. Mine was in better shape and I mostly had to remove the old finish, because of some acrylic paint stains, and put a fresh coat of lacquer. The neck had a square-headed screw to adjust the neck tilt and the action of the strings. It was a pain in the @ss to loosen it up and then I replaced it with a new screw and a butterfly nut from the inside to tighten it. With the neck fully tilted-up, the bridge height would be too low. If you pay attention in the video the saddle is just a piece of fret wire. I replaced it with a doubled-piece of credit card, tall enough to keep the strings in the right height. I confirm that the guitar I got also had metal strings originally on, not nylon. @Let's go Experiment, can you please tell what is written on the label, because in my guitar the label was missing?
