First-class woods and high playing comfort
Based on a compact headless design without a headstock, the Mayones Hydra Elite impresses not only with a first-class wood selection, but also with extremely agile handling. In addition to the slim mahogany body, Mayones relies on an intensely figured top made of burl poplar, while the six-piece bolt-on neck is made of five-piece wenge and amaranth (Purpleheart) and carries 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 layers.
TKO by Bare Knuckle pickups for modern tones
The electrical tone conversion of the Hydra Elite 6 is handled by two Mayones TKO by Bare Knuckle humbuckers, which have been tuned by British pickup smiths to the distinctive characteristics of Mayones guitars. The TKO bridge humbucker is equipped with powerful ceramic magnets and delivers a powerful and tight sound with excellent Tracking every note played even at high gain and low tunings, while the TKO neck pickup is a modern Alnico-V humbucker with a particularly clear and open sound. To expand the sound repertoire of the Mayones Hydra and authentic single-coil sounds, both pickups can be split with a pull of the volume knob. In addition, the electric guitar is equipped with a treble bleed circuit, which prevents treble loss when reducing the volume with the volume control.
High quality Hardware from ABM and Mayones
Last but not least, a high-quality hardware setup completes the Hydra Elite 6 Dirty Red Satin Headless Guitar by Mayones. The Berlin-based hardware manufacturer ABM contributes six 3801 single fine-tuning bridges that not only allow for precise adjustment of intonation and string action, but also guarantee accurate Tuning. Behind the GraphTech Black TUSQ nut, the brass Mayones S-CLAMP Element headpiece secures the strings at the end of the neck.
