Title: NGD! You could put it in a sandwich...
Post by: Pierre on January 12, 2014, 10:32:24 PM: Mayones Setius GTM6 :)
Pretty much the exact opposite of what I normally like, except for the bolt on part (I don't think I could ever get another set neck or neck-through guitar):
All-Mahogany
SD JB in bridge position
Tune-o-matic
3 position + push-pull (I prefer 5 position switch)
No inlays
Thin, wide neck (43mm nuts used to give me cramps mere seconds after playing)
... but on this baby it all worked out nicely! She sounds real pretty.

Pros:
Great build quality for half the price of equivalent US guitars.
Superlative tones. Seriously, sounds HUGE.
Price.

Cons:
A little feature 'light'. No locking tuners for instance, and no 'pro' level hardcase you'd expect out of an instrument of this quality. I got given a Warwick rockcase with it.
The Regius' headstock is a lot more attractive than the Setius' :)
Push-pull + 3 way switch instead of the 5 way switch I have on Musicman for instance. I much prefer the 5 ways. Maybe something to re-do someday

I have almost the same guitar.
Only I do have Locking tuners (but these were optional, and I went for the entire package).
The colour is amazing!! really like it.

Actually, this weekend I fitted mine with BKPs (Holy diver/Emerald) and a Schaller P switch (5 way with a lot of split options)

Post by: PK on January 14, 2014, 07:43:29 AM: I bought it straight from the Mayones factory. I just sent them an email and they came back to me with a list of options, like binding, custom inlay, tuners, piezo (that I took out later) etc.
Really cool guys there at Mayones, and they gave me a free t-shirt ;)

Post by: Pierre on January 14, 2014, 10:29:26 AM: Ah nice! If they offer nut width as an option I would gladly save up for a custom/factory model with options!

Post by: Pierre on January 14, 2014, 08:36:47 PM: Thanks :) I'll play her more soon, and then perhaps re-do the electronics. For now that's the most resonant, big sounding electric guitar I ever heard.
