I was at the GC Musician's Expo on Saturday and the EMG booth had one of these as their test guitars:
It was a Mayones Regius 6, and they had it set up in Drop C. I'm not sure if this was the longer 27" scale or the 25.4" but it did feel a bit on the long side so it might've been the longer scale.
In any respect it was an amazing instrument. Very, very thin finish - you could feel the grain of the wood and it looked very, very nice. It felt very solid and resonated strongly in my hands. LOTS of sustain, nice medium-jumbo sized frets and a flat fretboard that was a bit on the wide side but a very comfortable C shape with not too much shoulder. I loved the little scallops up on the top end of the high strings. Fast, easy action all the way through.
All in all an incredible guitar. Duncan had the right idea to pair up with these guys (you can order the guitar with EMGs or Duncans). When I'm in the money for a new axe, Mayones is definitely on the list.
