Personally, I think the “affordable” reviews are more useful than reviews of expensive ones, since expensive guitars are expected to be good anyway. It’s the “bang for buck” products that are wonderful to find. Love your reviews.

The price for this Maybach isn`t really expensive, for what you get. A Gibson Guitar of this qualitiy is much more expensive. The extreme cheap chinese made guitars predominantly sound equal in some ways for my taste .

Good evening, the guitar is actually made in our country, most likely in the NBE Hořovice factory (I hope I'm not mistaken). This company owns several brands of guitars and basses. It also produces for other well-known brands. In the past, cult Czech guitars of the Jolana brand were produced here. It is still produced today in updated and very good versions. The Maybach brand does not have a dealer here, it is ordered in Germany. I believe that due to the long-term tradition of production in this company, the quality will be OK, and perhaps it will correspond to the price. Greetings and I wish you a nice weekend. Pavel CZ.👍👍👍

I’ve had a Maybach Lester for a few years now the quality and playability is exceptional. A mate of mine bought a custom built Les Paul about a year ago we compared the guitars I have to say the Maybach held its own even my mate was loathed to admit it. There are some differences but in terms of quality and playability they were close very very close in fact, considering he paid and is still paying more than twice what I paid for the Maybach I’m very happy. I have always said The Maybach is Custom Gibson quality for Standard price. Oh and the Amber pickups on The Maybach are some of the best. Forget the G brand on the headstock and just play the damned thing

So I bought a Squier NC7 guitar (1998) Rosewood/22 frets. Swimming pool routing. Paid $100. Upgraded with a $90 Rockin’R Guitars prewired with a Gilmour switch. $190. Sounds epic. There are just way too many options out there that makes spending stupid money unnecessary. To each his own. This sounds great. Not a fan of fake “used” look. I will play my new “rare” ‘98 and keep the remaining $1,300 thank you very much. Next time always give us the radius. Fender got the radius right at 9.5. Don’t have any use for aircraft carrier fretboards.

One of my juniors is a vintage SG junior (like Colin's) and I don't find neck dive to be an issue though I tend to use leather straps with unfinished leather on the underside which is kind of grippy without being uncomfortable or sticky - nice against naked skin too for those rock and roll moments don't you know!

I do have a 2006 1962 American VIntage Reissue Jaguar but that was 18 years ago. The only other guitar I have is the recently-purchased EPiphone Les Paul Junior. To be truthful, in the last month, I have played the Epiphone every bit as much as the Fender. And as you say, what Epiphone does best is make affordable guitars that give many people the opportunity to enjoy playing them. Otherwise, they would be completely shut out.

Speaking of amazing quality and Gibson alternatives, I just bought an Eastman T486 (ES335/345). The (hand built, no CNC) build quality, hardware and SD '59 and Jazz pickups quality, tone and feel are beyond great. I've been playing for over 50 years, owned countless Gibsons (including an early Murphy-aged '57 Goldtop, R9 and CS336), and these Eastmans are their equal, and frequently exceed, Custom Shop quality in my opinion. So, I got twice the guitar that my old 335 was, for half the cost. Nice guitar, nice vid Col.

A 4 conductor P90 allows you to coil tap (to exclude part - half? - of the pick-up winds) for a more ‘vintage’ sound/tone, as on my Custom Shop ES-335 with P90s, which is coil tapped via a push-pull on each volume control. Edit: Single Amber Dogear P90, on Amber website, states hand made in Germany, at €189.00.

I haven't heard any complaints and people seem to hang onto them. FGN has several SG models floating around out there - for the more traditional builds, the "neo classic" line (I have an Flame FL Expert plaintop and it's more like a knaggs or huber style single cut, I bought it already gigged hard, crusty and rashed, and it still plays like buttered butter). Neo Classic also covers traditional tele, strat, LP, etc styles and they're fairly literal copies in some cases; no idea why they never get sued. (again, not an affiliate of FGN but man the fretwork...the fretwork...sigh, it's soooo good, on top of the already high quality level of finished goods their builds are, everyone needs to experience it at some point)

Nice review. I liked the bit where you slowed down and let the tone breathe. Don't apologise for using a nice amp. I recently slept on a Gibson SG Junior for a night and it was gone the next morning, so got frustrated, and immediately jumped on an old Ampeg AMG-1, that has Seymour Duncan P90's, which I think might be noiseless, cos they sound mad but don't have much hum. SG neck-dive is so overhyped. I have more issues with bum dive on my LP. An Sg falls into my hand whereas an LP floats up, up and away. Maybachs are not cheap here in Oz. Everything on Reverb is in Spain.

That's a nice looking Junior. The price is about par for a USA SG Standard in Canada but the Maybach is better built. The last USA SG Juniors (not custom shop) were 1,059 GBP.

I have no issues with the wrap tail on my '59 reissue Melody Maker. Gibson doesn't currently offer SG Juniors at any price. They'll be back, based on Gibson's history.

Maybach, Eastman, Tokai, and FGN continue to show with authority how much Gibson is overcharging while failing on quality control and blackmailing dealers into sales volume guarantees that smaller dealers cannot meet. Not meaning ill for the actual workers at Gibson, but they are clearly not qualified luthiers and the greedy corporation they work for sucks. I have a Maybach Teleman 61 Custom Red Rooster that runs circles around Fender Custom Shop guitars at less than half the price. I was looking at a Lester (LP style) but finally went with the Eastman SB59/v back then. Not because there was anything wrong with the Maybach, just I liked the varnish finish and the lack of a stupid floating pickguard (which unforgivingly comes premounted on all Lesters) better. I did pay around 2,300 EUR for the SB59/v (with one piece body and neck, ebony fretboard, proper Jescar frets and the phantastic Lollar Imperial pickups). My buddy bought a reliced Murphy Lab '59 for 11,800 EUR two weeks ago. It weighs over 3 Pounds more than my Eastman and the Custombuckers are muddy and do not even have proper string separation. The relicing does not look like natural ageing, it looks like these gaudy torn designer jeans from the 90s. Go figure.

Definitely a nice ax mate, but I have to tell you that your comment about Eastman caught my attention the most, as I truly think Eastman is the future in the USA and I truly think they are definitely a big part of it in the UK too. I think they are taking the Gibson LP market by storm and honestly, I have nine of them already as I had 24 Gibson guitars nine of them collector choice models I have started selling my Gibson really love the Eastman stuff. I have changed out the pick ups on most of the standard models but the boutique pick up, mark allows us to truly hang every, one of our heroes on the wall especially at Eastman prices. I truly have a hard time believing there’s another company out there that’s going to beat that price and quality although I think you do have a nice guitar there and certainly it is unique. thanks again for the great demo and as usual great show. 8:37

Maybach guitars are just great. Try a few because each one has its own character.

The last standard issue SG Junior Gibson offered a couple years ago was less money than those are in the U.S. It was never available in white (???). I got one that's a GREAT guitar, I don't know what they could have done any better, it's so good (except make it white). The Maybachs are probably the better deal in Europe, but all models are the same or more in the U.S. used market. Very interesting company.

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!! Colin, this is my absolute dreamguitar (I'm saving up for the TV yellow one, still doubting if I'd go for te special or the junior layout) I almost have the budget and I'm so glad you're doin' the review on this one! And don't mind the comments about you reviewing too many 'cheap' guitars. I absolutely love that content and it's content we definitly need! Anyway, enough rambling, time to get myself a hot choccy milk and watch the review already, keep on rocking you old wise man!

That is a beautiful guitar Colin. Its a lovely thing. People say oh buy the real thing but not only Gibson make great guitars, one example is your Eastman guitars. They are amazing and I prefer it to Gibson. You say thats your No:1 to play guitar thats what it is all about.
