📚 Description: Today, we are taking a look at a Zemaitis electric guitar - the first one I've had! I was first alerted to this guitar when I got a MASSIVE influx of people emailing me and asking if I can get them one of these guitars. In total, I personally imported 10% of the Japan-Exclusive run to the USA. It is safe to say BAND-MAID has fans all over the world that are passionate.
The Flappy Pigeon Zemaitis is Miku Kobato's signature guitar.

Best song IMO _Thrill_ Very 80's-ish Great hook, Awesome riff
All of them.
Unfair Game, one of the b-sides of YOLO, the first single from their 2017 album, Just Bring It.
Thrill, the video/song was my introduction to them many years ago. I was instantly hooked.
DOMINATION is epic live!
Thanks for the really interesting video!
“Kobato” actually MEANS “Small Pigeon”. There are actually over 70 pigeons on the metal front. The whole plate is the largest pigeon. There is the obvious one at the bottom and the entire rim is full of little pigeons. The number 5810 39 can be read as Ko-ba-to Mi-ku. There is also the “po” character in Japanese “ぽ“ hidden in the bottom of the roses and leaves design.
“Kuruppo” is the full version of the Japanese pigeon coo. M.K is Miku Kobato and “from 2016” indicates she started using Zemaitis in 2016.
The original pre-tax price of the guitar in Japan is 390,000 yen. 3-9 once again for “Mi-Ku”. It was originally released for sale on March 9th... 😜
To see more Zemaitis models, check out Miku’s April Fools Day MV as cluppo (ie. Kuruppo) - Peace&Love. She uses 5 Zemaitis guitars in the video, none of which are metal front because cluppo’s music is completely different from Band-Maid so she didn’t want any association between the two.
Edit: I really enjoyed how you snuck all those Band-Maid riffs in there when demonstrating how it sounds.
And in theory, the five blooms in the inlaid part represent the five band members : )
@@stevehall5128 I believe they do, it is also very reminiscent of the rose floral pattern on the physical CD of Band-Maid's "Just Bring It" album.
@@lordvorador5735 You're right! Funnily enough, I just got that delivered today : )
So, I checked out Band-Maid and, uh, I uh.... just blown away!
Make sure you check out Spotify as well. Many of their best songs don’t even have a video on RUclips. Too many songs (over 100), too many good songs (arguably, close to 100 😜).
Welcome to the club :)
Congrats! Where FM radio Failed, you've ROCKED!
Hell yeah.. been following them for a few years now and man they kickass!!!
Band-Maid.......Maid me Randy!
I am currently following then on the East Coast leg of their US Tour!! Thanks for explaining the band to your viewers, they are INCREDIBLE live!!
I love Band Maid, and have turned quite a few people onto the band. I am happy to see you review that crazy guitar of Miku's.
For a guitar channel, your intro to BandMaid’s music and other tidbits were honestly much better done than most music focused ones.
Props to you for doing the artists justice.
Don’t know much about guitars but I recognise a pro who takes their craft seriously when I see one.
I’m definitely coming back here for reviews if I need to purchase a guitar someday.or recommend one to a friend.
Btw Kanami the lead guitarist is also the Songwriter and Arranger of the band so their music is overall very centred around their guitar work and the instrumental section. Despite the language gap, their music definitely has something for most guitar lovers and Rock/Metal fans in general.
My best recommendation for a new listener would the music video for “ Warning! “ which is the intro track of their latest album “ Unseen World “.
Miku's flying V from the new album also looks really cool. Maybe it's me but that guitar seemed to scream in the recording. Way cool!
Watching trogley use a feather duster on a band maid instrument is very satisfying!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
THIS IS GREAT!!!!! Over a year ago(ish?) Trogly's did a review of the Silent Siren all white Telecaster (still love that guitar!) - So I checked out the band Silent Siren. Not being one to judge a band by one song, I clicked on another video. It was a BAND MAID video in concert MORITORIUM was the name of the song. I was blown away!!! I have been a MAIDIAC ever since. In a past video I thanked Trogly's for introducing me to BAND MAID.
Please check them out! You will not regret it. Any song will do - They have a wide range of songs - DIFFERENT (an Anime theme song) being fastest and ABOUT US (a song to the fans) being a slower song. Everything in between is either hard rock or edging toward metal if not out right metal. Just check them out you will not be disappointed.
gone down the rabbit hole on band-maid since this video, they're fantastic. thanks for the find. the live videos are insane
As they would say welcome home
Pigeon hole ;)
They melted my face 🤘🏼
Me too blew my mind what a find good fun serious shred and what a rhythm section cosplay perfection
Tony Zemaitis was a one-off custom instrument maker, a true idiosyncratic genius from concept to completion. And the work of master engraver, Danny O’Brien is spectacular , whether you love or hate the look. Good to see that Greco is doing a pretty decent job upholding the Zemaitis tradition.
These ones look like junk in comparison.
Listened to Band-Maid, and was impressed. Definitely a lot of talent. Sorta like rock, punk, metal.
Zemaitis have always been my wish list guitar, since meeting Ron Wood, in the early '70's! My favorite would be a disk front!
I want Miku's V
I found this band after this video. All I can say is thank you. I love Band-Maid, they are amazing.
I have been listening to Band Maid for the last year and a half and to be honest it was the song "Thrill" that hooked me with them. I am constantly waving their flag trying to get others to give them a try. After years and years of American and British hard rock / heavy metal I found these young ladies to be such a fantastic breath of fresh air in a super dull male dominated rock world. Miku and the Ladies of Band Maid should never be sold short, they are on the rise for sure and we will be seeing way more of them.
Bandmaid is all female metal rock... Probably the best in the wold... Last time we watch in singapore 2019, it was a blast and plus they are very friendly especially if you speak Japanese!
Band-Maid: the best Metal band currently out there...and killin' it.
Agreed! But definitely not a metal band
@@AxeJapan Really? How would you categorize them? I use _metal_ in the generic 80's heavy metal sense. I could say really good Hard Rock also.
Nothing wrong with labeling a band with a genre at all. I mean they are a mixed bag but I would definitely say they're hard rock. Though they did have the odd "metal" moment on the word domination album.
@@Delvizual Just me or just you works great by itself, and I hate labels as much or more than anyone. But when you try to convey an abstraction to another person, you have to find a common term that both can understand in order to evaluate its relevance, merit, importance, etc. Then, and only then, can the person recieving the message be able to place it properly in their own mind. For instance, I'm telling 'so-and-so' 'whatever', but how would I tell him he would like it or enjoy it unless I equated or correlated it with something likely known to both of us? Like a category or label.
In short, the answer is: Yes, absolutely. _Some_ things *need* to be labeled or categorized.
@@AxeJapan I like "Hard Rock Plus" because they're basically hard rock but also so much more.
The back plates are egg shaped, possibly going with the bird theme.
Great observation.
Tony Zemaitis always used oval backplates anyway
All in all, that is a Beautiful guitar💞
Not my taste but incredible amount of work went into that guitar and I do appreciate the craftsmanship. I do love the look of that case though!
Band Maid are amazing. ! While Miku didn’t even touch a guitar until 2014, With Kanami as her teacher, she very quickly became a competent rhythm guitarist. I think Zemaitis saw Band Maid’s potential, and wisely created the Miku signature guitar. I’m hoping PRS will follow suit and come out with a Kanami Tono signature model, because she is an amazing lead guitarist and music composer.
I don’t use your channel to find new music or bands. But, holly crap....Band Maid is the shit. So much fun listening to them. The drummer is off the charts!
The fact that they haven't become one of the most well known bands on the planet boggles the mind. They are working hard at it though....darn covid.
They're puppets controlled by others.
@@DemnRaig80 No you.
Wow, she really is an unusual guitar but that scribed metal top is beautiful in its own way. Thanks for bringing us such an unique axe!
It's an inanimate object. Stop comparing women to inanimate objects.
@@ShoreyJr guitars have always and will always be referred to as "her" and instruments are not inanimate objects they are alive and have a tendency to breathe I dont understand why women get all butt hurt
Zemaitis are really badass my dad’s are amazing. Love Ronnie Wood’s also.
Thank you so much for reviewing the Flappy Pigeon. I've been a huge Band-Maid fan since 2015 and I'm so glad to see them getting more attention thanks to Miku's new signature guitar. Btw, for anyone interested in checking out their music, I highly recommend the live version of their song Domination that they posted on their RUclips channel last year. It's one of their best songs and they're amazing live. Also, Trogly played a little bit of it in this video.
They’re awesome made my day they lay down layers bad ass ladies
I REALLY want to check out a Zemaitis Flying V, they look crazy. Almost as crazy as Miku in interviews.
I WANT THAT GUITAR......AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!
For anyone wondering about this band, they layer catchy vocal melodies over hard-rock music. Are they real or a gimmick? Can they play? Are they a weeb band? I won't list a dozen songs I'll just say give their song "Dice" literally 3 seconds.
It's awesome that you featured them on your channel. It's easy to tell that you really like them.
*chuckles in Iron Bunny*
I say give "Thrill" about 10 seconds for the full Band Maid Barrage! I really like Mika's Zemaitis--beautiful instrument!
What is weeb band supposed to mean?
@@cepho8349 Apparently there are fans who love Japanese bands because they are just in love with all things Japanese - at least that's a common assumption made by people who don't get why people like foreign music. In reality, people who like Japanese bands tend to be just as picky and almost tribal about their choices as they are with bands from their own country.
Band-Maid is great! Thanks for reviewing this!
I'd love to see you review a Dean V Select Flame Maple signature model of Miyako from Lovebites. She's also an amazing guitarist.
Band Maid is phenomenal! The "IT" factor for them is off the charts! Each member is outstanding in their own right. Misa, the bassist for the band has such a strong stage presence, she could hold her own against Steve Harris.
Band Maid is amazing ! !
They are very talented and are the real deal.
Give them a listen, you won’t be disappointed.
I saw band maid live in Japan. They absolutely rip, and it's super weird to watch them go between the idol personas and face melting playing. Would recommend
Awesome to finally learn more about this guitar style. I always remember seeing Beady Eye live, and Andy Bell having similar guitar. It always stood out to me, but I never knew exactly what it was. If I remember correctly it was a custom order. Cool to finally know more about this style. They’re definitely stage ready: I remember the lights reflecting off his guitar
I have never heard of Band Maid but thanks for the lead. I will definitely check on their music. Am always interested to learn about bands I haven't heard of before.
They truly are amazing.
Best live band on the planet today.
Just came back to say I checked a couple of tracks including some live sets and I concur they are excellent. Especially live.
Good trip In Band Maid world. 😉🕊️😉
Puzzle live
Moratorium live
Warning
Alone
And etc
I really enjoy seeing uncommon guitars like this. I'd like to see more videos about Japanese made Les Paul models and how they compare to the real deal. A lot of people claim their Edwards/Greco is better than a Gibson. I'd like to hear your opinion.
When comparing guitar’s people’s definition of “great” do “good” vary wildly.
This guitar seems somewhat overpriced considering what you could get for the same price from a different builder.
The brand name of this guitar is what is driving its price up (IMO).
At the end of the day a guitar is great if You like it and are happy with it.
Nice maid move at 5:21 😉
Check out BAND-MAID if you have not done so already, they are the best hard rock band on Earth! They are not like Silent Siren or Scandal, these women of BAND-MAID are an impossibly hard-rocking maid band! To the uninitiated, you have no clue what you have in store for you... Prepare to be blown away.
totally agree about BAND-MAID being the best band around right now - but also Silent Siren and Scandal are nothing to scoff at. Silent Siren's got incredibly catchy tunes and their bass player in particular is extremely good, and Scandal is like the female Japanese Green Day. They've been around 15 years and are probably the biggest influence to inspire this current generation of girls starting rock bands in Japan.
Check out ''Blackberry smoke'', if you like Classic rock type stuff
@The True MRH lol no. That's not the reason why they called them senpai
Band-Maid are indeed great, but why the need to put down other bands?
Love band maid
Nice work and that dice riff
My heart sank a bit when you took it apart. Then my heart broke when you scratched it. Props to you for handling that REALLY well though.
Miku is the living Flappy Pigeon, who doesn't care what people think about herself; she just move from zero to hero. The Wonder Lady of 21st Century. LIVE FOREVER GODDESS MIKU & BAND-MAID!!!
>> Edited: Sorry, I forgot to acknowledge your effort to this demo. Thank you so much! ;-D
There is a video including English sub tittles with Miku touring the Zemaitis factory.....really cool. And just to let you know that satin finish is created by hand with steel wool hence the ultra fine scratches you saw on back.
Those things are works of art...originals going for a pretty penny..
Love the design on the guitar 🥰🥰
Tony Zemaitis was a friend of mine here in England. A true eccentric mad cap genius. The origin of the metal front was to cut down noise. Danny O'brien a gun engraver friend of his started the acanthus leaves style engraving for the fronts as used by a number big names (honky tonk woman for example, the riff was played on a 5 string lp style guitar he made called macawber ) . Tony also made awesome accoustics. I have a bass of his, kind of rare and all of his guitars/basses had....soul. Thumbs up for Greco for keeping it high quality and just that little bit different.
After buying a Metal Front Zemaitis I ended up buying a second one. These are GREAT guitars
I've been listening to Band Maid for about 6 months they're pretty good...
A tad too ornate for my taste, but definitely interesting! Great to see something different for a change!
This is, without a doubt, my favorite Zemaitas guitar I've ever seen!!!
I´m really happy , finally Zemaitis on the channel, and Miku´s signature model , I love Band Maid music , thank you.
Favorite part of your covering Japanese models is the exposure you give them and the research you get to do!
15:08 if you look closely
There's Po written in hiragana
I enjoy the unusual signature guitars and introduction of new bands.
I am insanely jealous.
Kinda ironic that I missed my favorite guitar tuber because I was playing guitar lmaoo. Greetings and well wishes from Utah man!
That is a badass guitar absolutely love it sounds great it's beautiful and the band made kicks ass
Keep the J-rock/metal guitars coming Austin!
I love the variety you provide for your audience, it’s refreshing to see something interesting and different
I put Trogs on pause for a few and went to check out Band Maid, they are pretty heavy and pretty damn good I must say😍
I own two "Z 'es " and love them both . Aces & eight's and a one off from NAMM show . Never would want to open them up , So thanks for the show . Trogly : What is your favorite Band Maid song ? The one I am listening to at the moment . Big fan of you and B. M .
The plate engrave design was drawn by Miku for the guitar, and the words above the Zemitis on the plate is what she sometimes says instead of po, as you’ve mentioned early on in the video. This was a much better video than I expected. Great video. I’m jealous you got #4. 🙂
On 11 June 2021, a YT vid was uploaded called ZEMAITIS Factory Tour which shows the Flappy Pigeon being made (and Miku).
Hahah, just asked for this a couple of days ago - glad you were able to pull one apart!
I.
Love.
That.
Guitar.
A band that is as good as their drummer, and Akane Hirose is the best! Proof is in the hearing! All their music is on Spotify! They are awesome! Love Kobato guitar!
I had never heard of Zemaitis until the other day and now this is the third video that’s popped up in the last week. Cool looking guitar
I personally enjoyed today's playing demo a lot. Not only because of the tone but your playing is getting better Bro, keep it up
Been a Band-Maid fan for around a decade so thank you for this one Trogly.
BAND-MAID is a great rockin' band! Thank you for bringing them to our attention. They rock!
Keep the Japanese guitars comin Austin!!! Wooo!!!
as a MASSIVE band maid fan and massive in lowercase trogly fan, HOW IS RUclips ONLY JUST NOW SHOWING ME THIS VIDEO!! my respect for trogly just went up tenfold.
Damn, I'd love to have had one. I'm a huge Band-Maid fan
they are available still but you're going to be north of $5000 for one on the resell market. TBH, after all the shipping nonsense I went through, if you can land one under $5500, you're doing really well.
@@sjnix7044 Not to mention I live in the UK. That's pretty much a big no. Doesn't matter, my dream guitar is on its way as we speak so I can't complain XD
Nice guitar - and seemed to inspire you, as you peeled some tasty licks :)
Definitely sounding good there...
Good band, too; I follow them as well as Lovebites.
Asia has been kicking out metal and all-female hard-rock bands at a rate 10X any other country.
Band Maid Kicks ass! 🤘😎🤘
I'll trade you all my guitars for this one!
Because you only have 2...
@@Wirmish hahaha.... not quite..
And they’re both Chinese....
Always wanted to know more about these. And you striped it down bravely knowing the price. You deserve a like from me
Did not expect it to sound this good clean... Great sounding guitar 👍🏻
Thank you for this. I found Band-Maid because of this video.
Young mr. Trogly , i love watching your show. I love all the guitars you play and show. From the time I was 10 i wanted to learn how to play a guitar but i could never save enough money for the guitar, amp . All i have is the cord to the amplifier, the poster with the notes and the tracks on how to play many songs. This past may 15th I turned 60 and it's time to give up learning to play guitar. Have a very blessed day.
That guitar sounds amazing wow
I used to see their ads in Guitar World back in the early 2000s. Never had any interest in them (too gaudy) but interesting to see the specs
Those GF pots are Japanese Gotohs. People that have them favor them more than Chinese or Taiwanese CTS pots.
I’ll take my zemaitis over my Les pauls honestly. It’s such a well thought out instrument.
Thank you for this video. This flappy pigeon is awesome. Good stuff for Miku 💕
"Our Rock ll never die. Ever. Forever"
Best hard rock band !
Miku kobato also does some of the lead vocals too
Cool review! Not many good zemaitis reviews like these on RUclips.
Btw I got the Custom Shop Zemaitis. It rocks’. Thanks!
The edge etching are little birds like a vine! Nice!
My first Bandmaid experience was the video for "Thrill". I was hooked.
my grand ol buddy whos no longer with us the mighty mick cox from rose tattoo had 2 or 3 of these.honestly the best rock guitar ive ever played
Am I one of the only ones here that comes for the history lesson and dips when it gets to the demo? Austin is a good player, but I like the history part a lot.
Legit I never listen past the specs rundown on the bench. The playing just doesn't appeal to me.
I watch the whole thing
@@wesleyalan9179 I also always watch the entire video. I think I'm hooked on the intro and outro music!
I was able to find out the music used is from a generic list provided by youtube that is clear any copy-write issues.
@@hkguitar1984 yep!
@@wesleyalan9179 🍪
Thanks.i always wanted to check those guitars out.
How beautiful. It's already a work of art.
I was hoping you'd cover this guitar!
Love the art on this guitar!
Band-Maid is one of my fave bands. Too many songs to pick an absolute favorite, but Thrill and Don't Let Me Down are great.
Most unique Guitar I’ve ever seen. Very cool!
Keith Richards and James Honeyman-Scott played them in the 70s.
I LOOOOOOVE this guitar! If they could make a cheaper production run, similar to this guitar, or even a double cut version, I don't think I could find any excuse not to purchase one.
0:40 looking at them, I’d think that they were playing a real life game of Clue
That's kind of the point. Japan is a different world. Japanese all woman metal band Love Bites wear pretty dresses. Don't let the outfits fool you, rock/metal doesn't have to be hairy, tatted, men in ripped jeans and t-shirts.
They play game of Cluppo
I really enjoyed this episode!!! Thanks Trogs!
Such big thanks for this video. The guitar was really interesting but I followed your recommendation to check out Band-Maid. Easily the best band I have come across in a very long time. Just fabulous.
I bought the all metal top version of this last year, LOVE it!!!
The flying V metal top is #1 on my next list. Just love these, sounds great and looks beautiful.
On the overall shape of it, reminds of a Nighthawk.
