@mo@mastodon.ml Ура, рад, что мы снова в седле. Правда, через мобильный интернет к этому серверу мне не добраться без всяких там ВПНов. Хорошо, если это временный, а то я уже успел поволноваться, не попал ли основной хост ММЛ под ковровые блокировки, пока всё лежало. Тьфу-тьфу.

@kauzerei Looks pretty moisture-susceptible, if not for the paint. Kitchen and bathroom furniture made of particle board starts to swell along the edges as soon as there is water involved. On the other hand, this is not the strangest material for a guitar. Somewhere back in 1970s, in Leningrad (present-day St Petersburg) they produced a series of hollow-body guitars out of polystyrene, which is the plastic used for all kinds of objects, from disposable plates to cases for home appliances. As for the sound and usability, opinions vary. Here (https://muzeum.su/museum.files/MARIA-Lider.htm - in Russian) a former owner calls it pretty much unplayable, while on Reddit someone says it was funny, but more as a collector's item, of course (https://www.reddit.com/r/obscureguitars/comments/1d3uc1i/has_anybody_bought_one_of_these_mariya_guitars/)
