Mayones Legend vs Skervesen Tamandua

[Kaff]

Soo.... I have a really bad GAS for a telecaster-ish 7-string which would serve as my "main" guitar. My current main instrument is an Ibanez UV777BK, but I'd like something with a solid bridge and top notch build quality. These two guitars do it for me aesthetically, but unfortunately, I have no way of trying out either one. Tamandua is listed as costing around 2200€ shipped, I'm guessing the Mayo costs about 1000€ more.

Anyhow, which one would you go for if you had the choice?

Go for the Legend. Also since they're both custom shops the spec list doesn't really do much good.

I like the Tamandua shape/look better

 

[cslushy]

The Legends always looked a little off to me. I'd go Tamandua for sure.

 

[diagrammatiks]

Grab both. It's the only way you'll be happy

You could also go hapas

I'd go the tamandua. Either with a more vintage style headstock or the 4AP headstock. The legend just looks off to me and i vibe with the supertele thing the tamandua has going on

 

[KnightBrolaire]

I prefer the tamandua since the body is more tele-esque than the legend.

I personally think the Legend has a much classier look while the Tamandua is a bit overaggressive compared to a traditional tele, so I'd recommend the Mayo.

I'd chose Mayones over Skervesen any day...

(Owned both... only the Mayo are still with me

Get the legend.I own one and it's just a beast of a guitar

I would easily go for Mayones, I have first hand experience with both brands (owned Skervesen, played several Mayones).

Also worth to think about is that Mayones are more expensive - but if u can stomach the price you will get a guitar a few steps above... Mayones is really one of the top notch builders.

 

[2liveis2die35]

I've owned both brands and skervesen is great but something about mayones just jives with me better.but that's just me

 

[GhostAT69]

I'll take Skerv, something wrong with that Legend's shape for me.
Tamandua looks much more agressive, not like daddy's guitar :>

Framus Diablo 7

Thanks for bringing this up! I almost forgot about framus. The Panthera is o freakin' sexy Definitly a hot contender for my next guitar

 

[Kaff]

Thanks for your input, I think I'd personally go with Mayones mainly because of their reputation and I sort of dig the "classic" look of the Legend. Tamandua for me looks more metal.

I found a significantly cheaper way of easing my GAS for a 7st tele (more info on that coming soon on the Luthiery forum).

I absolutely love my Tamandua so I'm partial
