Some people are asking a lot of money for these things on eBay. I did find a neat looking Soviet electric mandolin for about £130......but that's still a fair bit of cash and I'm already feeling the need to get rid of a guitar rather than acquiring more.
"All three Leningrad plastic guitars sound very bad, badly assembled, and the worst of all - cannot be improved in any way. They were the last choise for Soviet musicians, used only when there was virtually nothing else to play. They constantly switchen hands, passing from those who was stupid enough to buy them to those who were ready to play anything. These are probably the worst of all Soviet guitars."
