With the Mayones Hydra Elite 6 Trans Graphite, the Polish metal axe manufacturer from Gdansk is launching an agile electric guitar in a trendy headless design. As usual, Mayones relies on an excellent choice of wood, which manifests itself in the Sapele body with burl poplar top and the five-piece wenge-amaranth neck with ebony fingerboard. On the guitar amplifier, the tried-and-tested combination of Seymour Duncan Sentient and Nazgul humbuckers delivers extremely hot metal sounds of a modern character, which also reproduce abysmal drop tunings tightly and assertively. Last but not least, the Mayones Hydra 6 Elite headless guitar is equipped with six individual fine-tuner bridges from ABM and an in-house S-CLAMP headpiece.
Based on a compact headless design without a headstock, the Mayones Hydra Elite not only impresses with a first-class selection of woods, but also with extremely agile playing characteristics. Accordingly, Mayones relies on a body made of sapele and an intensively drawn top made of burl poplar, while the six-piece bolt-on neck is made of wenge and amaranth (purpleheart) and has an ebony fingerboard. The compact body design with wide Cutaways and the slim "D" neck profile guarantee unhindered playability across all 24 stainless steel frets, with fluorescent side dots from Luminlay marking the positions.
The electric sound conversion of the Mayones Hydra Elite 6 is handled by the popular combination of Seymour Duncan Nazgul and Sentient humbuckers, which is not a modern classic in the field of brute metal pickups for nothing. Equipped with a powerful ceramic magnet, thebridge-mounted Seymour Duncan Nazgul delivers a cleanly articulated sound with a tight bass foundation and a wide range of mids and highs for a biting punch even at the lowest drop tunings. The Seymour Duncan Sentient on the neck, on the other hand, is equipped with an Alnico V magnet and impresses with a balanced sound that is equally suitable for sparkling cleans and singing leads. A push/pull switch in the volume control furthermore activates the optional coil split, so that authentic single-coil sounds are also part of the repertoire of the Mayones Hydra Elite .
Last but not least, high-quality hardware equipment completes the Mayones Hydra Elite 6. Accordingly, the Berlin-based hardware manufacturer ABM contributes six 3801 single fine-tuner bridges, which not only allow precise adjustment of intonation and string action, but also guarantee a precise Tuning . Behind the GraphTech Black TUSQ nut, the Mayones S-CLAMP Element headpiece made of brass furthermore secures the strings at the end of the neck.
