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.

Good job, the only thing i dony like is that fake adesive rosette.
even after the restoration, the strings still look they are very high

Ah but this Guitar has a mechanism that allows you to adjust the action from the outside.
It's a pity that you did not save the inscription "Moscow - 80". I think that's an important detail.

That is a pity. I’m glad he atleast kept the 7 strings. The Moscow rosette was a defining feature.
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!

Restored to an unplayable state judging from the string action at the end of the process. Neck will be loose within a few years with those metal strings too.

Great video! Thank you. The 7-string Russian Open G tuning is pretty unique in the world of guitars. However, what makes many traditional Russian guitars even more unique is their bolt-on neck to the body, which allows one to adjust the action from the outside of the guitar.

Вот она ска! Та самая "что по ночам так мучает меня". ;) Привет из Сербии.
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)
Хорошая реставрация! Звучит отлично!
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.
Красиво покрасил. В музей пойдет.
You've restored a 7 String Acoustic Guitar, & they still make them. If it's built for Nylon Strings use Magma GCT-7 Strings & if it's for Steel Strings use D'addario Chomes Flatwound 7 String Guitar Strings.
Good restore, but the action is still way too high. You needed to do a neck reset whilst you had it off and lean it back to reduce the action height.

1:16 You unscrew the neck from the body, just like an Electric Guitar so it has a bolt on neck. Johan Scherzer invented this idea & used it on Stauffer Guitars.
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?

This guitar is impossible to play look at the space between neck and strings at 9:43. Neck and whole guitar is "bended" causing the strings to be too far from the neck (kida like a bow shape) and even if you manage to touch the neck with the string the resulting note will be off-tune.
