Porn first 
My dog isn't too impressed by it though...
Huge shout-out to Nick (Zimbloth) and the Axe Palace as a whole for being stellar throughout this whole process. If you are interested in getting a great guitar like a Mayones, just contact them. You won't regret it. The setup on this is the best I've ever played.
The wait time on this was about 13 months, which was a lot longer than expected. I guess Mayones is getting a lot of orders, can't say I'm surprised! This guitar also may or may not have made it's way to NAMM 2015. That being said, the wait was totally worth it. The Regius 7 is the only seven string that has felt totally "right" in my hands, so naturally my final seven string would be a Regius. I will be putting Blackhawks in it when I have the time, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the SH2/4 combo (frankly they're fuzzy as f
ck by my standards, but for a "stock" pickup these are really good). I will be doing some sound demos and full song recordings with this guitar at a later date once I've got the BKPs in, so look out for those in the future. The resonance is just unnatural. I've played a lot of guitars from a variety of brands. PRS and Mayones are the only brands I've ever felt as being "alive" with the sound.
This guitar is TEW mahogany (favorite tone wood!) and a swear it is the most "alive" guitar I've played. My Custom 24 is the best 6 string I've ever played, but this is something else entirely. The fretted notes literally resonate in your hands; it's very loud unplugged. Plug it in and you have a mountain of beautiful sound - totally pure and natural. I simply can't emphasize how incredible it sounds. The playability is what I've come to expect from Mayones. The Regius 7 has been my recording 7 for a year and a half, and this guitar plays as flawlessly as I'd expect from a Mayones.
I could talk all day about it, but I'd rather answer specific questions people may have about the guitar, so please do ask literally anything about it.
Here's the specs and some Youtube videos I took on my phone. The guitar is going into a 50W 5150III and I'm using a Blackstar HT60 as my cab (weird I know
)
