    Mayones Regius 8 custom shop

    Hello SS.org members! The time has come for this beauty to find a new home. I love this axe and it's the primary reason I decided to put in a custom order with Mayones.

    Has anyone used it wtih an extended range guitar? I am looking into the amp but I will probably use an 8-string a lot and don't want it getting super muddy at higher gain levels with passive pickups. I don't often tune past an octave below standard 6 string tuning, if that helps. I have some...
