Mayones

This is an incredible instrument. A Baritone 27 Inch scale Mayones Setius 6 GTM. Mahogany bodied with a 5-ply / Mahogany-Maple neck. 24 medium jumbo frets in a gorgeous piece of rosewood. String thru body and TOM bridge. 1 Volume/1 tone with three-way pickup selector switch. Mayones is an extremely well-made Polish guitar, it rival any superstrat-style guitar I have played. UTILIZATION Mayones makes a guitar geared towards shredders in my opinion. Note that I said GEARED toward. I would be perfectly comfortable in any genre of music with a Mayones. Upper register fret access is incredibly easy. The body fits very well, and the oil-finished neck does not gum up like a painted neck would. Action gets ridiculously low, and set-up from the factory is phenomenal. SOUNDS All my reviews are done through the same collection of Amplifiers: Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Solo Soldano SLO Fender Twin Reverb Peavey XXX Peavey Ultra 120 Rocktron Vendetta EMGs are typically a very sterile sounding pickup in my opinion. They are great for metal, but I highly recommend changing them if you play clean a lot or need more tonal dynamics. OVERALL OPINION Mayones never disappoints. They are incredibly consistent. Craftsmanship is simply phenomenal. If you have never tried one, you owe it to yourself. Baritone scale might not be your preference, but a 25" scale is available as well. Can't go wrong.

For those that aren't familiar, Mayones is a Polish company that has been around for quite some time now! They are reknowned for the highest quality of craftsmanship in their basses/guitars. This one in particular is equipped with the venerable EMG 81/85(Other pickup options are available) combo and is unbelievably shred-worthy. A three way switch and one volume/one tone controls your electronics(coil splitting is also available). The body of the Setius Pro is a comfortably carved piece of mahogany capped with a lovely flamed maple cap. The Bolt-on neck of this beauty is a 5 piece maple/mahogany combo with a very comfortable "C" shape. The 43 mm nut width is very comfortable with the 16" fingerboard radius. 24 Medium-jumbo are set in the lovely unmarked rosewood fingerboard. This axe also features a Schaller FLoyd Rose PRO, Schaller M6 Mini tuners and a locking nut. UTILIZATION This guitar is exceptionally comfortable and is very well designed. You can tell Mayones took their time with the details on this one. The neck heel is exceptionally comfortable and combining the with the cutaway of the lower bout, makes play in the upper registers effortless. The EMG's obviously are very versatile, but tend to lean far more toward high gain amplifiers, with an obvious crunchy growl. The guitar is very lightweight, due to it's bolt-on design. The Schaller Floyd stays in tune well despite ridiculous amounts of dive-bombing. SOUNDS All my reviews are done through the same collection of Amplifiers: Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Solo Soldano SLO Fender Twin Reverb Peavey XXX Peavey Ultra 120 Rocktron Vendetta Effects are typically not used. Clean tones on this guitar are very clear, but the guitar screams into overdrive when plugged into the Orange Mesa Channel. High gain playing is obviously what this guitar is geared towards, but that in no way should dissuade non-high gain players. The cleans are very even, crystal clear and this guitar sings in the upper registers of any non-dirty channel it was run through. OVERALL OPINION Mayones craftsmanship is second to none. Fretwork is phenomenal and woods are exceptionally well-chosen. Hardwear is solid and will stand up to years of even the heaviest playing. Mayones is an option for those with the money to spend. There are a LOT of guitars out there in these price ranges, but if you are a shredder or heavier artist, you owe it to yourself to try a Mayones if you can find one. I highly recommend Mayones! It is my favorite condiment. Sorry, a bad joke!
