Now I own a Rokkomann classical guitar from 1966, an acoustic steel-string from 1969, a Les Paul copy and a Stratocaster copy, both from the early 1970's, that 12-string *and* a second 12-string that I ran into and couldn't let go. From the date printed next to the serial number, it turns out that the two 12-strings were built only one week apart.<br /><br />All of these Rokkomanns offer great value for their money. Definitely not in the cheaper range. I even have had a few of them shipped overseas from the US to Amsterdam, because I think they're worth it.<br /><br />You can listen to the 12-string here (recorded with a rather cheap laptop on the coffee table):<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15ooJSzBa40<br />Michel Couzijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17957346272941250692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675214159445098437.post-52448857546355759822011-10-24T15:05:24.693-07:002011-10-24T15:05:24.693-07:00Hey there!

I recently bought a bass that might help clear up the Maya mystery, or add to it.. either way...<br /><br />It's a Les Paul style bass labeled Maya, but under the right light you can see that the headstock used to say "Guyatone". <br />It also seems to be virtually the same bass as the Ibanez 2350B and the Greco Les Paul Custom Bass. <br /><br />So my guess it that (at least at one point) Maya was made by Matsumoku, since that seems to be a link that Guyatone, Ibanez and Greco all have. What do you think?<br /><br />I've been trying to figure this out for a few days now, what a confusing and fascinating subject it is! I really appreciate the wealth of information you've put out there. <br /><br />-TristanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09202098541682766896noreply@blogger.com
