The Japan Made Guitars Thread
« on: February 02, 2011, 06:20:09 PM »
Here's a Thread for all Japan Made Guitars!

I currently have a Maya Les Paul Standard made in Kobe, Japan. Maya was derived from Mount Maya a Mountain near Kobe, Japan. The Plant that used to make Maya Guitars was based in Kobe, Japan. They make copies of Gibson & Fender Guitars during the 70's and 80's. The Plant was destroyed during the 1995 Kobe Earthquake.

MIJ Maya Guitars is no longer in production and only a few Maya Guitars escaped the historic, devastating earthquake.
 
My first ever Les Paul guitar. It is under restoration through the hands of Mike Sison.

Maya Japan Restored by Mike Sison
- Bone Nut
- Re-painted
- Set up
- Restored to it's original hardwares
- Replaced TOM Bridge to GOTOH Japan
- All hardwares Japan
- Stock Pickups
- Vintage Knobs

micsis is the best!








Hands down to all japanese made guitars. The best guitars for me.


Please post your axe!

Thanks!

Here's my post as you requested TS.
tnx

Japanese Vintage LP
Gaki brand.
Im rstoring it kaya may sticker na white to cover the fillers na linagay ko.
Pero nice vintage sound.
With built in effects but no longer functioning. Yung phase in & out nlang gumagana.
Para saan kaya yung knob na speed ang nakalagay? di naman ako bumibilis mag lead  :-D

wala bang nakasulat na Gaki sa Headstock nya? Ngayon lang ako nakarinig at nakakita ng ganyang brand mukhang hindi sya binebenta sa labas ng Japan... panalo yan... wag mong pabayaan... vintage!
