Acoustic Guitar Ukrainian Seven 7 String Acoustic Guitar Сut away Steel Strings Natural Wood Original New Guitar made in Ukraine Rich Sound

Overall, the guitar is pretty good, for a cheap instrument. It came strung for DBGDBGD tuning, and the intonation was nearly perfect. The only thing I was compelled to change was the nut. It was made of plastic, and was poorly cut, with narrow and uneven spacing. I made my own from brass.Then, when changing to "standard" 7-string tuning (BEADGBE), the extra tension made the neck deflect up, causing slightly high action. I might mess with the bridge to deal with that. I do like the deep tone of the low "B" string.On the plus side, I added a strap button at the base of the neck, which is at the 12th fret, and is the perfect spot for ergonomics. Most acoustic guitars are very awkward with a strap at that location.I'd say if you want to try a seven-string, and don't mind a little tweaking, this is worth the $200.

I ordered this on August 24th and got it today Sept. 11th. Soooo just under 3 weeks to get here to Indiana from the Ukraine. 18 days, Not too bad considering the estimated earliest delivery date was Sept. 25th! I was really skeptical, I couldn't really find anything about "Leo Tone" or "Trembita" or even the generic (judging by photos that is) Eagle brand- I assume theyre all the same luthier now... It was packaged really well. Strange, I thought, how light it is. Then I unveiled it. Beautiful. Everything about it.You can tell it was hand made. The actions nice and low. The guitar looks and feels small for some reason, but the neck/frets feel bigger than they appear. It plays like a dream, and the bigger sound hole produces this awesome echo if you play with your ear up close. At first play its exceptional. I looked it over again and am still sorta skeptical of how light it is... Feels like it should be a toy, if that makes sense. Its so immaculate otherwise. I love it. I have 7 other guitars/basses from Fender to Dean to Jackson to Gibson- And this one fits in just fine as far as quality is concerned. I do NOT recommend you buying this. Why? Cuz I wanna be the only one who has one!

I’ve owned this guitar for several months already. For the price, it’s a pretty incredible deal on a 7 string guitar. The fact it’s imported from Ukraine really gives the guitar a very unique quality compared to a guitar from a cheap mass produced company elsewhere; the box it was shipped in, the manual, and the inner cavity all have bits of Cyrillic writing on them. There is a very hand made feel to it, you can see pen marks inside the cavity and small imperfections in the sanding and finish that give it its character.The sound is excellent, it plays like a guitar that really wants to be played. The 7th string is a really awesome feature on the acoustic as a b string gives you the ability to go even lower than your standard 6 String which tops out at e or even d, and you can you use it in a bunch of ways.The only con I really found was 7 string acoustic strings are not really easy to find, so I’ve settled for regular Earnie ball 7 string electric strings; so they sound a little thinner, but the trade off is at least they are easier on the fingers too.It sounds good, it’s unique, it’s well priced. Go for it!

I just thought I'd chime in here to balance the glowing reviews. I bought this guitar to try out an acoustic 7-string without spending too much money, and it was worth it as a test. This is not, however, as goos a guitar as the other reviews would have you believe. The pros: it looks god, seems to be reasonably well made as far as the finished and outward appearance. The cons: basically unplayable! The intonation of my guitar was way off, going sharp starting at the 5th fret. This makes it impossible to tune properly! The string spacing is very tight—only 1/8' wider than a normal 6 string, which is just not enough to give room for the extra string. It feels very cramped... almost like the guitar was meant for 6 strings and they squeezed in an extra string. Russian 7-string guitars are normally tuned in open-G for traditional Russian "gypsy" style playing, but even in that tuning I found that the action was too high, and string spacing too narrow to get comfortable with. At $175 there are much better guitars available, but probably no 7-string acoustic at that price, so if you want to experiment with a 7-string guitar, but not spend upwards of $600, it might be worth it to you—just don't expect much in the way of sound quality (sound is very muffled and "dead") or playability. This guitar might be helped with a proper setup, but can't fix the string spacing or the basic sound quality, and I'm not sure I want to throw any more money at it to bring it up to something just shy of adequate!

I think I beat all the speed records on delivery time from Ukraine to Vancouver, BC: 11 days!Wonderfully packaged. I am only learning to play (yes, choosing a Russian 7-string for that is a bit masochistic), so it is hard to judge the sound quality, but there are more experienced people here who bought this guitar from different vendors and whose reviews make me sure that any sound issues I may have are my own problem - I'm OK with that. Personally, I think the sound is good - with the strings it had from the manufacturer, the sound is sort of relaxed, more suitable for an evening with friends than for a concert.It holds the tuning well. After the initial tune and another one the next day, it stays really pretty close when I check it every day before and after practicing. Overall quality is good - I did not find any high or rough frets, nothing is flaking off or rubbing off. However, it does not have the "feel" of a high-end instrument - there is not a lot of "polish" to the finish of it (not that I expected that).It really is light, and it is a bit bigger than "standard" - 43" tall, 4 1/3" deep. The colour is matte black, and so the guitar looks a little two-dimensional, like something from an abstract painting - I absolutely love that.I will probably try a different set of strings, but overall I am very happy with the instrument. Now I just need to learn to use it to its full potential - and that will take a while.
