Mayones Jakub Zytecki Signature Jassper Nidra 6 Guitar, 4A TEW Birdseye Maple Fingerboard, Monolith Retro White

Player's Perspective

New from our friends over at Mayones is the gorgeous new artist signature axe of Jakub Zytecki, the Jassper Nidra 6! Finished in a beautiful, vintage-inspired Monolith Retro White that shows off the beautiful grain of the torrefied ash body and topped off with a classy tortoise guard, this new signature model is one of our favorite Mayones models yet.

The offset body shape and pearloid block inlays take you back to the mid-60s, an era previously unexplored by the Polish master luthiers. The roasted maple neck, highly-figured 4A birdseye maple fingerboard, and roasted ash body combine for an extremely resonant instrument with tons of sustain. The Gotoh hardware, including the venerable 510 tremolo and thumbwheel locking tuners, make this instrument super versatile as well as easy to maintain and play.

Adding to the sheer versatility of this guitar is the pickup set. The Exile single-coil pickup has all of the warm yet chimey bell tones of your favorite vintage-style T-type guitars with all the heft and clarity needed to span multiple eras. The Ironside bridge pickup is ripping and aggressive with high output, focused midrange, and powerful highs and lows - just the way we like it! With just these two pickups, you're set to cover any genre from R&B to metal.

Jakub was definitely inspired by a variety of vintage-style bolt-on instruments for his signature axe, and we especially dig how it seems like he borrowed features from every single one of the iconic bolt-on guitar archetypes for it - all with Mayones' brand of innovation and attention to detail. This one's a hit!
