These Soviet era Ural 650 guitars have a great shape, I especially like the headstock. Having said that there are not really a great guitar to play: heavy with uncomfortable neck and nasal tone. Despite this generations of Russian players have started out playing the 650, and many have modded them with DiMarzio pickups or locking tremolos.
This one is for sale from Russia, and these guitars are really cheap and plentiful over there so the seller could make a tidy profit as his asking price of $299 plus shipping. This a guitar to hang on the wall and look at, rather than play.
