Condition

Vintage condition with authentic signs of wear, minor scratches and varnish cracking consistent with age, which gives the guitar a natural relic look. The neck joint is stable and the tuners are in good condition. Strings are installed, but one is missing and a full replacement is recommended for best playability. Please review all photos to assess the cosmetic condition.

About This Piece

The Lviv factory was one of the Soviet instrument makers whose guitars were sold across the USSR, and its tailpiece with the city's lion emblem is a recognizable detail. The seven-string guitar has a long tradition in Russian and Soviet folk and romance music, which makes this archtop an interesting piece for collectors of Soviet era guitars and for musicians looking for a lo-fi, retro acoustic voice.
