This guitar is a work in progress and needs a jack plate, neck plate, trem arm, etc... to be complete.  The neck is also not the original neck. Take a close look at the photos.  This is a piece of history from a time when US / Russia relations were actually good. 

I don't play nearly as much as I used to, and I went through my collection to find that I have 53 guitars, which makes no sense for my current level of play.  I am making some painful decisions to thin the collection down to a manageable number closer to 10. My loss is your gain. My guitars have always been very well cared for and stored correctly.  They are always in climate control and always have the tension released from the strings when sitting in their cases for longer-term storage.

**Please read the entire listing to be fully informed**

Only items pictured in the listing are included in the sale. If it's not in the pictures, we don't have it. Items labeled NOS (New Old Stock) are never installed units, but may show shelf wear from storage including dust, damage to packaging materials or occasional surface rust on untreated metal parts that do not affect functionality. They also may not include original packaging unless it's pictured or mentioned specifically in the listing.  Photos are considered part of the description. Please review all photos.

WORKING WITH US:

We've been on eBay for 20 years, and we have a great reputation on eBay for a reason. We strive to provide quality products and services at a reasonable price. Our goal is for you to be happy with your purchase, and we make every effort to test items that we can test, to accurately describe all items, and to take as many pictures as needed. That said, we're human, and occasionally, things happen with shipping or a mistake on our end. If you have any problems with an item, please email us so we can work the problem out instead of opening a case with eBay or leaving negative feedback. You'll find that we are very reasonable when we're approached constructively. Thank you so much for looking and for your business!

SHIPPING:

Quoted shipping rates are for the 48 contiguous US states only. Depending on item size and weight, we reserve the right to add additional shipping charges for shipments to Alaska and Hawaii or to cancel the order (your preference). Please ask in advance if you're in one of these states. 

All international shipping is done through the eBay global shipping program. We have absolutely no input or control over the pricing of that program. That is 100% controlled by eBay. Thank you for your understanding.

IF YOU RECEIVE AN ITEM DAMAGED:

In the unlikely event of an item damaged in shipping, please retain all original packaging and contact us immediately. We generally insure items and take date and time stamped photos before shipping to document conditions. You will, of course, have the option to be refunded or offered a replacement (if available) if your shipment is damaged.  We just ask you to save the item and the packaging in case the shipper needs to pick it up for a claim inspection. Thank you!!!

FEEDBACK:

Feedback is very important to our business, and we appreciate your feedback on transactions. If there is any reason why you would not leave positive feedback and 5 star ratings for us, please contact us and let us know why before leaving negative feedback. There is almost always a remedy if there is an issue, and we always do everything within our power to make things right. The feedback that we leave is automated and is left when we receive feedback from a customer.
