Mayones Regius Core 6 B26.5" Baritone Guitar, Ebony Fretboard, 5A Flame Maple, Trans Dirty-Red Gloss

We're stoked to get in another beautiful Mayones Regius Core 6 B26.5" baritone axe 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 some awesome custom specs, including a Trans Dirty-Red Gloss finish over a stunning 5A Flame Maple top, an 11-ply EXOTIC I neck, custom carbon covers for the Bare Knuckle Pickups, and Swamp Ash TEW (Tonally Enhanced Wood) body, roasted for increased resonance and sustain.

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.

The extended 26.5" scale length lets you easily downtune to an B without worrying about string wobble or ugly fret-slapping. Even if it's your first baritone or your first extended range guitar, the adjustment period is really minimal. Of course, the excellent design is propelled even further by the excellent craftsmanship.

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