Crikey, it's a genuine Russian electric guitar, made at the Rostov On Don accordion factory in the late 1970s. Unusual, what? Marvel at its instant red commie buttons, contrasted by the distinctly capitalist gold glitter pickguard and polyester finish. Quite honestly we've never seen a Soviet six-string before, and this one is called an Aelita (literal translation). What it sounds like we have no idea, since no-one's found a plug to fit it.
