El Maya Late 70's made Stratocaster SC-33JR Junior Model
El Maya is distributed by Rokkoman Co., Ltd. They use the El Maya brand for mostly domestic market, also Maya for
overseas market. We could see some of El Maya in overseas market. But these are through neck or set in neck type
guitars. El Maya had at least 3 classifications for Stratocaster replica.
They have Junior, Artist and Antique.
I'm not sure the detailed why they use 3 series name.
However, I have 3 kindsf series here. Probably, Junior is cost effective model. Artist is middle range.
Well, junior series is cost effective model of El Maya line.
I could specify it from the body material, parts in use and etc..
In addition, I recently heard that EL Maya Electric guitar were made by Chushin Gakki.
Therefore, these guitars are brother guitar of Argus, Grover Jackson and etc...
This guitar is good condition. The color is transparent red. It is very rare color.
The body is Sen (Japanese Ash) 3-4P. Well, the maple neck is bonded maple finger board.
The weight is 3.47Kg. The neck is straight and frets are proper (a bit worn) Nut width is 40.8 mm.
The original tuning key is not Rotomatic type or Fender type. This part was selected because of cost.
If I use this guitar well, I will change it, anyhow.
The tone, it is pretty good. The sound is a bit bright compare with Artist model.
Well, this is just collection items.
