Ural was a Soviet mass production. It does not necessarily means it was all machine-made, but if you found a good luthier among those who made these guitars, you had a playable guitar. All the parts were standard and people who developed them did not think about the sound and feel of the guitar. This is something about the logics of the socialist state. There were no high quality goods, everything had to be good enough to fit everybody, and there was one level of quality set by the bureau of standards.
