USED El Maya / SC-36DN [11]

A ST copy model by the Japanese brand "El Maya," which was active in the 1970s.
Born during the so-called golden age of copy models, this instrument follows the Fender-style design.

The body is crafted from Japanese ash, featuring a distinct grain pattern and a slightly hard, resonant tone. The neck is a one-piece maple design, offering a solid grip and stability characteristic of the era.

It is equipped with three single-coil pickups. The sound has a crisp, dry texture with a clean midrange, delivering a vintage-like tone. Its appeal lies in a light, open Stratocaster sound that differs from the modern, fuller tone.

Compared to other domestic models of the same era, this brand is not widely available and is known only to a select few. This is a great way to enjoy the authentic atmosphere and material feel of a Japan Vintage guitar at an affordable price.
There are some scratches and minor rust on the joint plate. There is slight paint wear in some areas.
There are a few other minor scratches, but overall, it is in good condition with minimal signs of use.
The neck has a forward bow on the 6th string side and a reverse bow on the 1st string side, resulting in twisting and warping. Combined with fret wear, there is slight buzzing on the 1st string at the 12th fret and beyond.
