Mayones Guitars & Basses has been established in 1982 in Gdansk, Poland and is the biggest Polish
manufacturer of quality hand-made electric guitars and basses. The company offers a wide range of
instruments, both in their suggested specifications as well as custom shop models.
The guitars are available in five main series: Setius, Legend, Regius, Maestro and Virtuoso, with a

Jabba, Be and eight neck-thru models: Comodous, Elegance, Patriot, Prestige, Slogan, Elegance

In cooperation with internationally acclaimed artists, such as Anders 'Blakkheim' Nyström
(KATATONIA), Daniel Gildenlöw (PAIN OF SALVATION), Wojtek Pilichowski or Maurizio Rolli,
Mayones created several signature models under detailed guidance of their godfathers.

Here's how the company explain its increasing success:
THE ESSENCE
Mayones instruments find their origin in the very same place music starts – the heart. Their essence
stems from passion of the talented musicians we work with and the devotion of our experienced
luthiers. Our guitars and basses are the result of the perfect blend of nearly 30 years of tradition,
modern technology we use and affection at every stage of the building process.
THE TRADITION
At Mayones we believe that the soul of a musical instrument comes from the quality wood it is
build of. Flamed Maple, Swamp Ash, Mahogany, Amazaque or Wenge are just a few wood types we
import from our long-term suppliers to ensure superb tone qualities and seductive looks. The careful
selection of tone wood we've applied for almost three decades guarantees the best sound properties
of every “M”-labelled guitar or bass.
THE TECHNOLOGY
Mayones instruments are truly handmade in a traditional luthier style accompanied with state-of-art
technology and equipped with top class components. Every guitar and bass follow the same
production routine: take the skills and the experience of our crew, implement strict quality standards
at every step of production and add the elusive touch of our love to guitars. The result is always the
same – a top notch instrument with soul and built-in inspiration.
THE AFFECTION
We love music and we love our guitars. We share this passion with thousands of guitar enthusiasts
attracted by Mayones instruments around the Globe. We share the satisfaction of our customers and
the confidence of our endorsers. Feel free to browse through our website and feel a part of Mayplayers
family for this little while. If you would like to say for good – everyone's invited.
