Mayones Guitars
Polish premium luthiery with decades of handcrafted tradition, specialising in high-performance guitars for metal and progressive rock.
About the brand
Mayones Guitars is a Polish company founded in 1982 that has evolved from a small repair workshop into one of the most respected premium guitar brands in the world. Its workshop remains in Gdańsk, where every instrument is built by hand.
The catalogue is divided mainly into the Duvell series (metal-oriented, with baritone and multiscale options), the Regius series (more versatile, suited to prog and fusion) and the Setius series (for bassists). Materials include exotic tonewoods such as figured maple, ziricote and poplar burl, paired with Hipshot hardware and Seymour Duncan or Bare Knuckle pickups.
Mayones offers an extensive customisation programme allowing players to choose tonewoods, hardware, finishes and neck specifications. This handcrafted philosophy has made the brand a reference for professional guitarists seeking truly unique instruments built to the highest luthiery standards.
