    I've often considered getting a Russian guitar/bass like the melted potato Tonika's, but now I want either an Ural or Aelita asap, preferably both! You can't beat a commie hockey stick for a headstock, and you just know whomever played those got ALL the least unshaven girls in town... Rock on, comrade!

    I still have my first electric guitar, a ca. 1970 Heit. Single pickup, crappy paint, but still an interesting relic.

    Amps: Fender Blues Deluxe Tweed, Marshall JCM 900 50W full stack, Roland Cube 20XL and '69 Checkmate!

    Pedals: (all DVM) Tremolo, "Rabid Rodent" distortion, "Zonkin Yellow Screamer" OD/Boost, "Gee Ain't That Swell" volume swell, and "Mega Muff" fuzz

    Perfect guitar to learn electric guitar repair and maintenance on.

    Crown and polish frets, learn truss rod adjustment by putting say 9's, adjust truss, move to 10's, re-adjust, etc.....

    Good for electronic work as well......buy some new, cheap pots, and a jack, rewire the guitar. Install a standard pickup toggle switch, say a 5 way, and learn to rewire that thing bypassing those cheesey switches.....
