      It's not surprising to see some sort of paint on fretboards in this kind of guitars. Most cheap Korean guitars still use this method. And since this is a Soviet era guitar that's probably what inspired it.

    I’ve been playing guitar for over 40 years and I can say I have purchased a handful of new guitars. But my favorite instruments are the ones I found at good will or were given to me by friends that just never learned to play. So much character in the older instruments. All that was needed was a little love, tuning and new strings.. great restoration project sir

    I was originally going to congratulate the restorer on his excellent job restoring an interesting guitar, but after seeing what was done, I changed my mind. This is certainly not a restoration. The guitar was originally seven-string. By removing one string, the “restorer” destroyed the historical value of the instrument. Great job.

      It's a pretty job. But he should have kept the 7th string, kept the bridge looking like the old one and left the fretboard black! He could have refinished the body with a light stain like the original. And steel strings on a guitar that old is a big NO, nylon would be so much better.

      @@Popcorn_Kernel I do agree with almost everything you said. I also prefer nylon strings. However, this type of guitars were made for steel strings. The earlier models, however were made to be used with gut strings. I did try gut strings on the 7 string guitar. The feeling was... different, but pleasant and interesting.

      “The Restorer” responded to a similar comment by saying (to quote a response translated by Google): “it will happen to everyone.” It is very sad to see how the brain of an undoubtedly gifted person is clogged with such intolerance towards everything Russian (assuming that this 7-string guitar was a Russian guitar). Hatred cannot create, only destroy.

    @2011Noud 7 месяцев назад +1

    Some tips: Please do not use a chisel to remove the bridge even after its' been heated by an iron. Careful
    workin from a gap spot and maybe several spots work as close as possible against the surface of a sound-
    board. Often use sharp cutters for it. This varnish becomes brittle and was in a bad condition. It can be
    easily removed with a block with sandpaper around it, only moving in the grain direction. Watch what comes
    off. When the yellowish dust changes into real wood stop immediately and work this way over the whole
    surface of the soundboard. The varnish and some spots really were bad but sometimes you can "fresh up"
    soundboards like this with 95 % alcohol. The lighter traces will vanish after the alcohol treatment. Glance
    the soundboard afterwards with Nikco, a great polishing compound that freshes up dull surfaces and is
    cleaning it. Repair the cracks that still close with a sucker cup and work in the glue with that. If possible
    BEFORE the lacquer has been removed. That will avoid ugly glue traces on the rest of the soundboard. But
    you did a job I simply like because otherwise the guitar would have ended in the garbage bag. I'm also
    working for years with these kind of "lost treasures" with sometimes remarkable results! Compliments!

  • @cjm3122
    @cjm3122 11 месяцев назад +2

    I liked everything except the sanding. I would have dusted it, used turpentine to remove any old wax, used warm soapy water followed by immediate towel drying, then amalgamated the original finish with alcohol or whatever solvent works. Anyway, it sure does look great. Bravo.

    While I admire the splendid job you did and the attention to detail you went into restoring this fine instrument, I need to point out that it is a traditional Russian seven string guitar.
    In my honest opinion I believe you ruined it, rather than restored it.
    Nonetheless kudos to you for all the effort you put into making that train wreck into a Train Grand Vitesse.
    The tone of it is impressive to say the least. If only you kept it as a seven string.

    Hi, I wonder why you use the soldering iron when removing the fretz? I have seen several who only use the pliers.

      the fret heats up faster and I can remove it with less damage to the fretboard

    The "guitar painting" at 6:10 - what are you mixing there? It looks like instant coffee? I've got a parlor waiting for me in my shop so I'm collecting tips. Thanks. Great video!

    I saw many 7-string guitars like this when l toured the Soviet Union in 1974.
    No one ever used the 7th string.
    Seldom was there ever a seventh string even on those guitars.

    Почему бы в описании не написать старая русская гитара. Какой парлор к чëрту😂 Парлор это салонная гитара, а семиструнная гитара это традиционный русский инструмент, в котором нет предела совершенству

    Interesting they would do thin veneer fretboard on a old guitar like that. And a screw on neck. Sounds good in the end. Anything that old sounds good.

  • @mikethunda9506
    @mikethunda9506 11 месяцев назад +2

    This is a great restoration but why did you turn it into a 6 string? Why not carve that neck joint to lower the action and why did you color in the "pickguard" area?

    • @mr.k1t
      @mr.k1t  11 месяцев назад +2

      I adjusted the height and now 1 string is 1.3mm and the sixth is 1.7mm
      The rest of the decisions came along the way, I just arranged for myself a kind of Luthier jam session

      Let's be honest, by definition this cannot be called “restoration”. Also, you asked, "why did you turn it into a 6 string?" “The Restorer” responded to a similar comment by saying (to quote a response translated by Google): “it will happen to everyone.” It is very sad to see how the brain of an undoubtedly gifted person is clogged with such intolerance towards everything Russian (assuming that this 7-string guitar was a Russian guitar). Hatred cannot create, only destroy.

  • @joeymoreno1100

    I agree. That instrument belongs to the baroque or Renaissance era. You should restore it only in it's original form. That instrument is rare.

      This is an aniline dye for fabrics, the color is brown, but I advise you to buy several and select the color on a test board
