Mayones Regius Core Classic 6 Guitar, 3A Flame Maple Top, Trans Dirty Purple Gloss

PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

We're proud to offer this gorgeous Mayones Core Classic 6 from our master luthier friends in Poland, Mayones Guitars! Like all Regius models, this axe features a Neck-Through construction and provides an excellent balance between classic design and modern tone. This one features a Trans Dirty Purple Gloss finish over a 3A flame maple top for a fearsome but beautiful look, while the binding on both the neck and body adds a nice touch of class.

The Regius line provides an excellent balance between classic design and modern playability. While this guitar is clearly still geared towards metal and "djent" players, the body shape is softer than other Mayones styles and evokes a certain retro vibe for an overall more understated look. While this guitar is still going to be a contemporary head-turner - I mean, just look at it! It's gorgeous! - the angles on the body, the beautifully-executed binding, and the arched top will feel more familiar to players accustomed to more traditional axes of old.

Again, the idea behind this model is to suit Mayones' tradition of aggressive tone while keeping one foot in the more traditional and vintage tonal spectrum. We truly think Mayones managed to pull that off - the custom-wound, Mayones-exclusive Bare Knuckle TKO pickup set, while designed for high-gain chug, surprised the players here at the shop with their awesome clarity on cleaner settings, especially with the coil-split on the volume control. Of course, the TKOs excelled the most at distorted riffage, and we were very pleased with how both single notes and chords sounded huge without getting muddy.

This Regius Classic combines the best of vintage sensibilities with classy looks, modern playability, and hard-hitting tone.
