And my very first guitar. 1969 Framus Goucho
...

Very cool! I love Framus guitars. You mentioned the violin shape. Most of the Framus craftsmen were violin makers before WW2. I have my first Framus. which is also my first guitar, a late 60's Gaucho...

I went through the storm. Lost some tree limbs. Lost power for 3 days. Got it back yesterday morning. Neighbors across the street still have no power. Found pieces of aluminum trim in my yard, along...

Happy Bday!

Condolences to your family and you.

I still have one small issue to iron out, but when I get that taken care of I will let you know and try and give you a price. The issue I am having is that on the Cube 20XL the FX are on a knob that...

I bought a Roland Cube 20 XL amp several months ago and love it but always felt it needed a foot switch. The only way to turn the FX loop on/off is to turn the knob to the off position. The knob is...

Welcome Connor. I live slightly north of you! You a Pat or Geno guy? :) (its a Philly thing)

I will assume that is to 11? :)

If you ever worked as a Roadie, you tended to not like those B3's! :) Problem is, nothing comes close to reproducing that sound. Love it!

Happy belated Bday Spud!

As promised here is a sound byte of the Ural. When I get the Aelita in working order I will post them also.

spasibo!

They also come with sidecars and 2 wheel drive. If I remember correctly they were copies of pre "Great Patriotic War" (WW 2 to most of us) BMW's

When my music teacher comes over I will record a few sound bytes and share them here. I will not be able to get any of the Aelita up for a while, but will get some of the Ural. Both guitars use three...

Even then they are pretty rare in nice condition. Most got beat to death (similar to what happened with Taisco stuff here)

Hey Guys, Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm not older, just more vintage! :) Sean, per your request, here you go!

As some of you may know, I got a Soviet made guitar "Ural" a few months ago. Here is the thread Since I have some contacts in the former Soviet Union I decided that the Ural needed a "friend" to...

As always Brian, Bravo.

Very nice guitar! Congrats? Does it have the Tone filter like some of the Gretsch's? If so, what do you think of the effects?

As always Brian, Great pics! Next time I venture down to see my friend in Delray Beach and if I drive down again have to see if you have a gig. Love to see one of your shows.

Can help you with that Sean! :-)

I went to the bank today to open a CD. I couldn't believe how low the rate are these day. Was basically told that the bank(s) are sitting on lumps of money but refuse to loosen the lending rules....

Very nice Sean. I have a couple of Ventures songs written out I'll PDF to you (Walk Don't Run and The Lonely Bull)! We'll make a Venture out of you still! :-)

Here is the closest I have come to glitter on my guitar (or is that bedazzled?) :D
