Here is the serial number of Maison Les Paul Honey burst guitar 9262057

Hi there,I bought a pj bass that has been airbrushed, so no original markings were visible, but through extensive internet ting, I believe I found its match. Seems to be a Maison RB series. I can upload pics, but yeah, can anyone here tell me anything about it?

Thanks!!

Hi to all!!

I was checking if there was + info about a bass that came to my hands through a trade past year. I wanted to find out the year, RUIMSTS gave us some nice info, thanks for that!! Mine is from the 80’s, with a long finger in the middle 🙂 but one thing that i’ve realize, all your serial numbers has 6 digits, i have 7! “9710058” why?

Interesting

Hey! Bought a surprisingly great Maison Les Paul copy from late 80’s, black beauty, set neck, amazing playability, sustain and balance! Just put a pair of Seymour Duncan (sh1-sh4) on it, to replace the little weaker stock pickups, and it’s a blast. Litteraly make my Gibson Les Paul Tribute 2011 sound like a toy guitar. Maison is heavier, has a better balance, ultra long sustain, better finish, fingerboard is fine rosewood (and not crappy roasted I don’t know what) original tuners work well… Definitely a keeper!

Hi,

I got a Maison les paul “black beauty”

electronics are worn, so I think I’ll give this guitar a revamp. (bought it in 1998 second hand for around 375 euros)

What pickups would be best ?

kind regards,

Hi all,

I’m looking to buy a HSS Maison in my area and, since you seem like the most knowledgeable bunch about Maisons on the web, so I thought I’d bother you for some insights on this strange beast.

The seller knows very little about the guitar, but it’s a HSS Maison (probably not very good, based on RUIMSTS logo descriptions) that looks a bit like a Jackson, with a floating bridge and gold plated hardware. The fretboard inlays are unlike anything I’ve ever seen – I’d describe them as sharkfins, but they’re not parallel – like the shark moved from inlay to inlay.

The most curious thing, however, is the neck joint. It has one of those split neckplates, like in the old MIJ Yamahas RGXs – the “Super Playability Joint System”). I have no way of knowing if it’s original or if dealing with a Frankenaxe.

Would you mind taking a look at the photos and see what you can make of it?

Thank you all!

Hi everybody i have stratocaster maison ist S S H serial 961985 can anyone know this guitar and specs

Hi, I’ve recently bought a black Maison PB style Bass (just like this one) in a thrift store in Spain for 60€ (66$) The pickups are a bit rusty but it works like a charm and sounds surprisingly well. Probably I´ll end up using it on gigs. The serial number on the backplate reads 902885 and the logo is ”Maison” with an elongated middle stick on the M. Does anyone knows something about it? Age? Was it a good buy?

thanks

I’ve a Maison acoustic guitar W770 & been using it for decades and how much it cost now.

AGEBW

Maison brand started in Korea in the late 70´s and produced handmade amazing guitars till end of 80´s. Woods and finish is as good or better as any guitar with the same age even Fender and Gibson. They are by far better then any guitar made after 2000 because nowadays exotic woods are not allowed to import to the USA.
Late 80´s Maison Guitars closed and was bought by YOOJIN Cº and started to be produced in large series with not so good materials but some are great I have a Explorer from the 90´s and she is gr8, also have a red LP and red SG from the 80´s and 2 Stras red/white 2 Superstarts 2H & HSS , 1 sunburst LP and 1 red semi hollow (SAS335) + 1 Jazz Bass (JB290) from the 70´s .
Even with the same humbuckers diferent guitars sound diferent but all are gr8 players and guess what…. They stay tunned for months.
If you find a Maison for sale and the M have a long stripe in the middle (look M Maison showing a finger to Gibson) it´s 80´s BUY!
If the M is a bit longer on the left it´s 70´s (stiil it buying it)
If the M underline aison, it´s a 90´s (can be good if early 90´s test before you buy)
All other logos are crap, I never bought one.
I´m trying to find a SG with 70´s logo….. Have some?
Cheers

Hey guys, I’ve just bought this beautiful Electroacoustic Purple Maison guitar. It feels like playing a strat,- very smooth and flexible neck, the strings haven’t been played for a while(it looked so) but i felt quite the opposite right away. I have been really wondering, why there’s no information about this stuff, and please, if anyone knows more about EA310, don’t hesitate to write! Also, all sorts of info sources about maison guitars…share it!! 😀

Bought a Maison SG way back in the mid 90’s. Still use her regularly. Have never seen a serial number though, and I have looked.

Anyhow… I love this guitar. The body is balanced, not neck heavy like some SG’s I’ve played. 22 frets. The fret board allows for some smooth playing. I always loved the tone I got. Never changed the pickups from when I bought it. Used the neck pickup almost exclusively. Was running a Boss ‘Metal Zone’ pedal straight into a Peavy 120 watt 4-channel PA and onto a Marshall 4×12 bass cabinet. Sweetness.

Unfortunately, I’ve had to sell my equipment (I moved overseas and had no means to store it long term) but it never entered my thoughts to sell the Maison. The only fault I would mention is that the electronics on the Maison have decided to pretty much die on me in the last year. That being said, they have lasted at least 15 years without any issues (I’m now looking at putting a pair of EMGs in there and replacing all the wiring, volume & tone controls and pickup selector, a total overhaul basically).

Completely enjoy playing this guitar and hope to keep playing for many years to come. If you can find one that is relatively cheap and you enjoy playing it then go ahead and buy it.

hi i have a white strat looking maison with the serial number 950794 i know its old atleast 15 yrs if not more, i got it as a present about 8 yrs ago from a friend, i have tried googling maison but theres nothing really showing for it, is it a cheap make of guitar or is she worth some money, any help wud be appreciated 🙂

hi can anyone help me i bought a maison electric guitar from a flea market in malaga spain . it is a strat copy all black in colour with 21 frets and on the neck plate it has maison and the no 950078 it is well made and plays very well i would like to know when it was made i know maison was taken over by yoojin who dont make strat copies thanks for any info steve

A nice South Korean Guitar..I bought in 1995 in Indoneesia and still working fine.The quality of Gold plated Bridge is still OK , not fading nor corrosion..

I’ve had a white maison les paul copy for over 12 years now. I changed the pickups a few years ago to kent armstrong humbuckers, can’t remeber the numbers. I’ve got coil tapping push/pull volume pots which together with the pickup selecter allows for a variety of sounds – coil tapped the bridge could take your head off while the neck pickup in humbucking mode with the treble backed of offers a jazzy tone. Nice guitar – I like it.

Hi There, check out reveiws on Harmony Central for lots of info… Also maker website is: http://www.yoojin.com Maison is a subsidiary of YooJin Industries. have fun folks!!

I used maison for about 15 years now. The bad things about it is it can’t be played for a soft songs such as pop, jazz etc. It was a real heavy shredder guitar, the pick up is noisy and heavy. The melody sound thin, so i had to replace it with dimarzio’s paf pro (double humbucker) but for me, the whole guitar is very suitable. You can’t get any screaming of an angry beast with other guitar but with maison simply do.

Hi people! I want to find a home page of maison’s electric guitar. Someone know, any? Thanks

: has anyone heard of Maison Guitars. I have been offered one to buy but i’ve never heard of them also i am due to view the guitar in a couple of days so any help would be grateful

Yeah I heard of them, I just bought one from eBay, 5 string bass. Other than that I ‘ve never heard of them Adam Bass Guitarist

: played one for several years. bought it in chinatown in bangkok for 200 bucks. best buy ever

I have a maison 5 string bass which I have used for 30 months. I bought as a used instrument and it served me well until a month ago when it just simply failed to work. I had it checked and I was told the pick ups have melted ~ very strange. Worse, I tried to get info from maison and the best I have so far is this posting. If you have another option please disregard the appeals of maison and go for an alternative. Look for a well known brand that you can easily get customer support from. By the way, my guitar failed on the stage just before I was to perform. In sum, Maison is good but you may not get help if it fails.
