M.J.Yamauchi's HIKIDAORE with MIJ Guitars! ......Tokai/Greco/Fernandes/YAMAHA/ESP/Navigator/AriaProII etc.

Prologue

Hi guys, I here exhibit old electric guitars which were handcrafted in Japan around 1980, the era of Japan Vintage. Most of them are reproductions of American guitars, Gibson, Fender, B.C.Rich, Alembic, etc..., and a few of them are Japanese original guitars.

I introduce each guitar with my original worthless phrases so please don't blame me picking up details of the comments, because I am not a professional but a mere amateur guitar collector.

The meaning of comments have considerable differences between Japanese version and English version for some reasons.

If you find mistakes, please don't hesitate to tell me about it. I'm going to respond to questions as far as I can.

In conclusion, HIKIDAORE means playing guitars until you collapse, likely to KUIDAORE that is famous in Osaka Japan, means eating until you collapse. Let's bring MIJ Guitars to your grave!

Sorry, all of my guitars are not on sale for the time being.
