Unidentified guitar from borisov, Belorussia.

This guitar might look like Aelita, but it's from Borisov factory. The hardware on this instrument is much like on this bass, the headstock shape is also similar. The switches are the same as on Borisov's Formanta, but the pickups are different. The upper 3 switches are on-off for the pu's, the other ones are tone compensators. Still the tuners are the worst thing I've seen (as on Formanta & Solo II), even "tuned" you can turn at least half a turn before it will affect the tuning.


Borisov neckplate

Apparently, this guitar and this bass were a pair made at Borisov, Belorussia. Their specifications were similar to Aelita and Bass 2 produced at Rostov, but all the hardware was made at the local factory. It is very possible that the guitar was developed at some development institute (N.I.I) and then both factories (Rostov and Borisov) were making the model. It's still unclear what was the name of this guitar.
