Mayones Regius VF BKP 8 Multi-Scale 8-String Guitar, Ebony Fretboard, Transparent Jeans Black Gloss

PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

We're proud to present this gorgeous Regius VF BKP 8-string multiscale axe from our friends over at Mayones! This one's in an stunning Transparent Jeans Black Gloss.

Offering some of the highest quality craftsmanship we've ever come across, Mayones is building some absolutely killer guitars that have players of all genres taking note, not just metalheads. The Regius line provides an excellent balance between classic design and modern tone. The neck on this 8-string is super comfortable and will require little-to-no adjustment if you're a 6 or 7-string slinger. The low strings are tight, punchy, and really brings the thunder.

The modern 16" radius ebony fretboard and earthy-feeling neck plays lighting-fast up and down the neck and feels incredible in the hand, as with every Mayones instrument we have in. Transitioning to an extended-range multi-scale format will feel effortless on this neck. The combination of Hipshot locking tuners and hardtail bridge offers supreme tuning stability, while 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 clean 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.

The result of everything here is a perfect marriage of tonewoods and electronics the likes of which we've rarely seen. This is another thoroughly impressive build in collaboration with our friends over at Mayones. We're so stoked with how it came out!

“Mayones and Bare Knuckle have a strong relationship going back many years so I was honoured when Dawid and his team asked me to design a custom humbucker set specifically for their guitars... Overall, the ‘TKO’ humbuckers offer a wide range of saturated rhythm and lead tones coupled with dynamic cleans perfect for modern rock guitar styles, and they’re the ultimate partner for Mayones Guitars.” – Tim Mills (Bare Knuckle)
