NGD: Mayones Regius 8 QM

[101stCentury]

Hey guys! I am brand new to this forum - this is my first thread - and I thought I'd share with you a guitar I received today that I first heard about on this site! Sorry in advance if I'm not following proper etiquette...

Specs:
Body - Swamp Ash
Neck - 11-ply Maple-Mahogany-Amazakoe-Wenge
Fretboard - Ebony
Radius - 16"
Scale - 27"
Frets - Medium
No front inlays, blue Luminlay side inlays
Tuners - Sperzel Trimlock
Bridge - Hipshot 8-string Fixed
Nut - GraphTech BlackTUSQ
Pickups - Bare Knuckle Aftermaths w/ coil tap

I've only got a chance to play on her through a clean channel on a tiny amp so far, but she sounds amazing and even made it sound full and decent. She plays fantastically, I'm still getting used to the 8th-string, but it's a lot less of a hassle with how smooth the neck plays.

Enjoy some pictures! I'll update this when I get a chance to play with a real amp.

Thanks all! By the way, I've received some conflicting info about the scale length from Mayones vs. the dealer, and I'm not sure I believe that it's 25.4"... If it is that short then I'm a little worried that I'll have trouble keeping the 8th string tight. Any thoughts? I love this guitar, but I have to say that information on it has been inconsistent at best throughout the ordering process. No immediate regrets, though.

Edit: issue resolved - the certificate from Mayones was wrong and the scale length is 27". Phew!

oh my goodness... my jaw dropped...

Probably would have been wiser to get a 27" or so given the low tuning of the 8th string. If you think its even shorter than 25.5 you're probably going to have a lot of problems and may want to consider sending it back to mayones.

25.4 is pretty short...even 26.5 is pretty short. You are going to have a hard time with that 8th string

 

[Tommy]

Gorgeous. HNGD!

25.4 is for all purposes the exact same scale as your average guitar. Is the neck longer (or the bridge to nut distance)? I bet it's longer

 

[jephjacques]

Almost positive that's a 27" guitar. I'm not sure Mayo even makes a non-baritone 8-string.

Did you pick this up off eBay?

 

[JerichoCheng]

MAYONES GAS INCREASE !!

 

[Seventary]

Congrats on the Mayo!! Pure porn.

 

[ThatBeardGuy]

Happy NGD! That's quite the way to start posting here. Mayones make some seriously nice instruments. If you want to check the scale length why not just take a tape measure and measure from the nut to the bridge? Then you know for sure what it is.

 

[LolloBlaskhyrt]

Awesome! HNGD!!

 

[shoot2thrill]

I looked all over their site and couldn't find one shorter than a 27" scale. That f# wouldn't even be usable on a 25.4 haha

Happy NGD!!!

 

[blearyeyes]

Beautiful guitar. Your guitar is listed at 27" scale on the mayones site.
