I have to say, the best thing about your work is that you reuse EVERYTHING, you don't replace anything with new parts. Using the existing hardware keeps the age of the guitar, but takes just a couple of years off the damage. Great work.
these videos are great for running scales and arps on guitar no talking no annoying music and quite interesting how you bring these instruments back to life kudos \m/
El Maya was a cool guitar brand and they made some very nice own model guitars too like the EM series (1000-1100-1200-1300) until the factory in Kobe Japan was destroyed by an earthquake. Very "Daion" like. Truly an 80's gem, if you have one... keep it. (I didn't)
Muy buenos videos, son altamente atrapantes para aquellos que somos fanáticos de las restauraciones de guitarras vintage. Excelente canal mi amigo! Saludos desde Argentina.
It's a Maya 🙂🙂🙂 I have a '75 Maya that looks exactly like a Gibson ES-175 and, according to people, just as good if not better... It doesn't surprise me that the Maya brand produced strat copies as well... Back then the Japanese guitar companies produced high-quality that original designs and copies of American classics that made Fender and Gibson very very nervous... Anyway...Great work as usual...
I had 1 project road Star2 Japan handcrap something like that . I like the design and quality the way they made the paddle arm fretboard . I left it in the dog house where I got pick up and go to jail. Special guitar project priceless made suppose to be mine.
Buen trabajo de rescate de la guitarra. Mi primera guitarra eléctrica fue una Maya tipo Stratocaster también, pero en mi caso, aunque el mástil era muy bueno, el cuerpo era de madera laminada.
La primera guitarra que vi en mi vida fue a los 9años y era una MAYA. este fabricante hacia 2 tipos de instrumentos. Los baratos y los caros. Esta guitarra que aparece aqui es la version cara. Buen cuerpo. Gran mastil. Buen bloque del puente. Buenas clavijas. Este fabricante puso a temblar a fender y gibson con sus copias. Ya que eran muy buenas aceptables. Junto con otros fabricantes del japon
@@edgardargotte3280 Sí, sí. Las más antiguas se llamaban "El Maya" (como la tuya) y eran las buenas. Luego pasaron a llamarse solo "Maya" (con el mismo tipo de letras, pero sin "El"). Como fue mi primer guitarra eléctrica, le tengo un buen recuerdo, pero era una guitarra con materiales económicos, no gran cosa. Sin embargo, el mástil era muy bueno.
@@edgardargotte3280 ¡¡Vaya!! Eso no lo sabía. Gracias por el aporte. Soy aficionado a los instrumentos añejos y me gusta conocer la historia que les acompaña. Cordiales saludos.
your guitar seem all to be rare vintage guitars, also this El Maya..What I do with guitar restaurations, I put some wax onto the woodscrews and also some oil an metal screws..after 40 years they have deserved ;-) also, when you saw a new nut, dont forget to saw it into the direction of the tuners, downwards, so they dont get stuck.
Too bad you couldn't eradicate the stupid KISS shadow and shadows from the reflective tape on the fretboard and headstock. I found an Ibanez Artwood acoustic in the trash which I restored for my daughter. It had stickers all over the front which left the same sort of shadows but they all faded in time. Maybe these will, too.
I believe Maya guitars went out of business after the Kobe earthquake of 1995, I've only ever played one example and that was for all of about five minutes, but I recall it as being a nice guitar.
Bel lavoro! Peccato per gli adesivi sul manico che hanno lasciato il segno (forse andava sverniciato e riverniciato lucido) e la scritta "kiss" ancora visibile (forse poteva essere scurita con pennello e aerografo)
Japanese made instruments are top Quality. Sometimes even better than americans. Don't know why indie japanese artists do this to his own country industry guitars. They would do the same to a USA Fender?
All the comments about keeping it original are not about what this man is doing . Did he buy it at the porn shop for twenty bucks , or pick it up at the salvation army or good will store . And then we have moaners that say he didn't do a luthier job on it , I just watch these for the before and after look and I don't expect it to turn into a 56 Gibson Les Paul's, settle down girls. 😂
@@rodentcafeteria when we were young blokes there was a pawn shop in the main street, and every Saturday around lunchtime this same lady would go in and come out about 15 minutes later, my dad told me that once a week it was a porn shop and she was selling one of her possessions, so yes you can buy and sell whether it be porn or pawn 😏🤣
You never show " set up"...pretty much anyone can clean a guitar but never see you check neck for relief, fret height, never state the action ect.... One can.make a $100 guitar play great and one can make a $5000 play like crap....its all set up... I do like vintage Japanese guitars but they also produced low end crap too...not every Japanese guitar is a gem.. I like my old stuff clean but as stated you can depreciate a vintage guitar by trying to "restore" it... I buy old stuff to practice repairs and set ups, I'm still learning...Luther's are artists...
Are you aware that collectors pay lots and lots of money for guitars that SHOW their age? Cleaning is one thing, but you need to be very careful. This job has cost you maybe a thousand dollars! Now it is not that great old Maya anymore! Why did you do it that thorough? Better leave it looking old, but clean and grease just the spots that need attention. These tuners for example, make them work again, but do not make them shine like new. Good thing is, this is one original Maya less, these untouched Maya's will one day be worth a million dollars, thanks to fanatic cleaners. Do you understand? You did a good job, now you can play this guitar, and it looks good. But really, it is a vintage guitar, it is pretty good quality, you really should not change the looks. It is simply not "just an old guitar".

Super suono dalle stalle alle stelle adesso fa scintille un lavora delle tue mani magiche sei veramente un Grande🔥🏅🎸🎶
these videos are great for running scales and arps on guitar
no talking
no annoying music
and quite interesting how you bring these instruments back to life
kudos \m/
Great videos! Absolutely love seeing these cool old instruments rise again. 🙂
Hello, very nice restoration, beautiful 70's CBS Strat repro., even sounds amazing. Bravo and see you next vidéo !
I thought for sure that you'd refinish the body, looks like it will always be the KISS guitar!😂
Woo una Maya Strato, esa fue mi primera guitarra por allá en el '78..., excelente tu trabajo bro 💯
El Maya was a cool guitar brand and they made some very nice own model guitars too like the EM series (1000-1100-1200-1300) until the factory in Kobe Japan was destroyed by an earthquake. Very "Daion" like.
Truly an 80's gem, if you have one... keep it. (I didn't)
うぉっ、エルマヤとは…懐かしいブランド 多分ムッシュかまやつさんとかもこのメーカーのギター使ってた筈
More videos bro asyl... I'm waiting your new videos.. 👍👍👍
ここにもギターヒーローが😂、、！🎸
すごいクリーニング技術です！！
Some of those mid 70s Japanese guitars are very, very good indeed.
I, for one, don't think this is one of them. Absolutely hate how this one sounds...nice clean up job though!
I love your work and videos... Great attention to detail 😎👍
Once again another great job and sound 🎼🎸🎼 Happy New Years 🎉🎼🎸🎼
Thanks for the upload, I love watching these videos. Happy new year!
I'm amazed why it was not screened. I mean the inside. These guitars were used by bands who could not afford a Fender

The best you could do and you did!Great work!!!
愛情を持って可愛がるとちゃんと応えてくれるんですね❣️捨てる神も拾う神も愛の深さで全てを生かして下さると、私も思っております。

Beautiful Japanese Craftsmanship..I'd LOVE to own this beauty...
Nice! I used to own an El Maya P bass copy... great instruments!
Can you tell us anything about the various types of cleaning compounds you use? Great video!

Y me entere investigando un poco que la fabrica colapso en un terremoto! Por eso no siguio la produccion

いつも定期的にしっかり汚れたギター仕入れて、しっかりキレイにしていて凄い
あと、ぼざろ観たんですね
It's enjoyable to see the mechanics of the instrument.Don't we all like the design of what gives us audible pleasure ?

Felicitaciones excelente trabajo . Tiene buen sonido la guitarra. Ahora a disfrutar 🎸
This one doesn't look THAT bad. Still needed some care.
Cool videos man I have a 93 korean squire I'm about to revive
Maya even used 1954 Strat. On these strat copies in 1977.
I love how the KISS mark was still in the body
I’m no arborist, but that looks like a pine wood body. Right or wrong?
I thought you'd gone to far with this one.. But the more I looked at it reminded me of a Kimbara I've had from the 80s..
あけましておめでとうございます🎍
I love the look of wood.
THAT'S WAT SHE SAID HHAAAAAH!

I like sss guitars, big head, wood pattern, white neck very much.^^
Going through that trouble and sticking those bar magnet pickups back in there.
amazing.
But the question remains! Are the frets level???And how much relief is there???
Too bad you couldn't eradicate the stupid KISS shadow and shadows from the reflective tape on the fretboard and headstock. I found an Ibanez Artwood acoustic in the trash which I restored for my daughter. It had stickers all over the front which left the same sort of shadows but they all faded in time.

I wish you had taken the body down to bare wood and put a nice dark satin stain on it. The striping across the topside is pretty nice!
I cleaned my guitar as well the other day but I never had gloves on!
Ah como eu queria uma dessas 🤩🥺
I would guess that the strat copy was made in the same plant as the Ibanez roadstars...same bullet adjuster ...
If you put those screws in a electric drill and slightly thightened them you could easily remove the rust without any products
That brand was sold in Mexico. my first bass was an el maya
Good horse,
Bel lavoro!
Peccato per gli adesivi sul manico che hanno lasciato il segno (forse andava sverniciato e riverniciato lucido) e la scritta "kiss" ancora visibile (forse poteva essere scurita con pennello e aerografo)
良いっすねぇ！相当弾き込まれたのかちゃんとストラトの音して音もいいし、ただ、70s仕様のストラトならペグをFキータイプに変えてやりたいですね笑
これはいじり甲斐がありそうです笑
How can i get some of these old japanese guitars?
Amazing
Es mejor cuando solamente restauras los instrumentos, no have falta tocar...
Never heard of this brand, but I have a '79 Aria Pro II ST-600 that looks VERY similar 😁😁
It's probably Aria made.
@@jltrem Yes, Matsumoku made many brands of guitars..
Крутой стратокастер в стили 70х, зачем его так испоганили весь, обклеили. Никогда не понимал для чего для чего на гитару что то клеить.
Now I wonder where did the tremolo arm go?
I heard Seishun Complex!
It would be nice if you put the name of the songs you’re playing on the end 😅
I CLEANED MY GARAGE
he can really play too

I assume you meant to say he bought it at the PAWN shop, not the "porn" shop. But, I could be wrong.

エルマヤって、確か国産では一番最初にメイプルワンピースネックを発表したブランドでしたよね？
そう言った意味では、貴重品ですね。
How to clean pickup ?
F*cking SLAYER!!!!
Nice. How many working hours?
Some people would pay a fortune for that ageing (before you cleaned it) job on a new guitar :)
KISS? 😊
what about restoring your MESA cab? hes need help!

Was there a psychedelic phase in Japan?
Why do so many of these refurbished guitars have groovy themes on them?

No need to shred on this old Japanese lady like this !
👍👍👍👍👍👍

Lol...I would just buy screws... instead of clean it...
😚
It looked better before you "cleaned" it.

Buy yourself an ultrasonic cleaner. You'll clean those small parts in no time.
