25 years ago a mate had a maya Gibson acoustic copy. Sadly mate is no longer with us, I don't know what happened to the guitar and I've never seen another.
has anyone seen one?

    Seventies Japanese instruments are one of the specialist interests of @HarrySeven. I doubt that he has such a guitar in his extensive collection but he might know an man who does or, at the very least, where to find original product catalogue information.
    Be seeing you.

    I've not seen a Maya acoustic for a long time, but couple of years ago I had a Maya fretless P-Bass copy. It was made by Matsumoku, although that doesn't necessarily mean the acoustics were, even of the same brand - Japanese companies were often just the owners of the name and sometimes used more than one manufacturer.

    But as Funkfingers said, HarrySeven probably knows more. I'll bet the other way and say he has one :).

    I heard that the acoustics were made by single Japanese luther

    @ICBM - sorry, but you're out!

    I have 0.0001% interest in acoustic guitars, but that doesn't necessarily mean I know nowt about them...

    El Maya - could be an M2, M3 or M4 or if Maya, maybe one of the F-400 series.

    You've probably seen this, but it's admittedly not much help.

    I think the model you may be looking for is an N45J.

    There's an interesting thread here.

    Anybody might have imagined that I was getting a finder's fee for luring potential buyers towards the Seven showroom. ;)

    I don't have time to go trawling through my magazine/catalogue archive at the moment, but I have a feeling I might have something tucked away somewhere. If I find anything, I'll let you know. :)

    It is high time that you hired a full-time curator/archivist. Maybe, even, one per warehouse.
    Be seeing you.

    I had an LP copy with Maya on the headstock in 1983. It wasn't bad, but I moved it on when I got a real LP
