The bass is more appealing if you read the listing in a Boris Badenov voice.

These must be more common than we thought.
I've seen at least five on eBay over the last 3-4 years. And a couple of guitars with the same finish. I wouldn't call them rare.

Maybe these sales are all a ruse to get rid of a glut of genuine Ukranian cloth shipping bags.  :)

...

Either that or there's a pent-up demand for Ukranian cloth bags.  ;)

Seriously, where are all these suddenly coming from? Have they been sitting in warehouses for years?

NATO protected Western Europe so we would not have to play this!  ;D

That must be the rare Chernobylized finish.

These are all coming out of the Ukraine. You and Ronn better test yours with a geiger counter.

The relic Orfeus sold for $300.

I'm looking for the 6-string guitar version of this finish.
