NGD электрическая гитара Aelita
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 discuss "Das Kapital" with. So I got my latest Russian Beauty!

This is an Aelita. About the same vintage as the Ural (late 70's - early 80's).

She got a little damaged in the shipping, but nothing that cannot be repaired. Tail piece is a Vibrato unit that just came apart and took the brigde off its mounting post. The nut also fell out. It goes to the luthier on Saturday.
I got the original soft case, strap, truss rod nut tool, and strings with it. The coolest accessory however is the owners manual. It is printed on very cheap paper so I am sure not many survived.

I got the Ural setup as best as it could be setup. It has great sounding electronics on it, but the neck is horrible. I cannot wait till I get the Aelita playable to see how it compares.
