Big thanks to Mayones and Dawid Dziewulski for this incredible build which arrived just in time for recording. The Evertune bridge is going to make tracking rhythms a breeze.

Of course with Blue being my favorite color, it had to be part of the guitar, but I wanted to try it with a Charcoal black base which bursts out to Blue on this very unique figured Maple top (not quite sure if it is a flame or quilt, but it looks beautiful). Of course gotta have my Juggernaut BKP set for pickups, guitar sounds massive, and effectively counteracts the slight loss of tone and sustain the Evertune bridge unfortunately imparts. It should be noted that despite that slight con of the Evertune bridge, it is absolutely an indispensable tool for a recording guitar as it really does work fantastically.
I would assume that the huge route and saddles have something to do with why the Evertune guitars I have all have a similar quality to the string attack and decay that they do, but honestly in a good guitar the pros should heavily outweigh the cons, and this guitar really does sound fantastic.

I can't stop looking at that top. Beautiful! How does the Duvell compare to the Regius?

Congrats on getting a guitar that is not available to anyone else. :metal:

Mayones USA has told me that the guys in Poland arent doing the Duvell in any scale length beyond 25.4" and that different bridges isnt an option either, although a Hipshot is good enough for me. I also tried to get mine with a 20" radius and that isnt possible either even though Im willing to pay extra for the options. I guess the Duvell is just a production guitar right now with VERY limited options, so Im not getting one yet. That thing is super sick!

I like the volume knob

That finish is bananas. Is that a 26 3/16 scale or am I a dipshit?

Looks SICK!

Amazing guitar...

I was a bit worried about the Juggs because I bought a 8 string set for my mahogany guitar but knowing now you use them also in mahogany guitars now I am a bit more sure about my choice of pickups.

Beautiful top! And that cutaway...

Hey chap, thanks for the music. How do bends go with the evertune bridge? I read that it can cause some hassles/require some f**king around.
