Duvell electric guitar with Black Limba body and Seymour Duncan pickups, including gigbag
With the Mayones Duvell BL 6, the guitar manufacturer from Gdansk, Poland, presents a first-class metal guitar in beautiful Black Limba garb. Next to extremely smooth playing characteristics, the electric guitar convinces with brute sounds and indestructible hardware equipment.
Fine woods, agile handling
The black limba body of the Duvell BL 6 immediately catches the eye with its intense grain and gives the guitar an individual character. While generous shapings on the front and back promise a high level of comfort, the wide cutaways and the flowing neck heel guarantee unhindered access to the high registers. The five-piece Wenge-Purpleheart neck in D-profile also conveys extremely agile playing characteristics between the 24 stainless steel frets of the ebony fingerboard.
Seymour Duncan Sentient and Nazgul
With the extremely popular Sentient and Nazgul humbuckers from Seymour Duncan, the Duvell BL turns out to be a guarantor for modern metal sound. With its extremely tidy low end and sharply focused mids and highs, the Nazgul humbucker on the bridge lets every note whip out of the guitar amp with precision, even with drop tunings and at maximum gain. On the neck, the Sentient humbucker delivers surprisingly sensitive clean and overdrive sounds with lively dynamics. The coil-split also enriches the sound palette with lively single-coil tones.
Hardware by Hipshot
Naturally, the Duvell BL 6 from Mayones offers indestructible hardware equipment that performs on the road with unshakeable reliability. The Hipshot Hardtail with strings-thru-body is employed at the bridge. Six-string saddles with generous adjustment ranges guarantee optimal intonation and string action, even with thick string sets and deep tunings. Behind the GraphTeck Black Tusq nut, hipshot locking tuners with open gears ensure precise and stable tuning. In addition, Schaller S-Locks hold the Duvell 6 BL securely to the guitar strap.

Never had previous experience with Mayones, but always liked the aesthetics of their guitars. Guitar came well packaged and with nice guitar bag that looks sturdy. Overall build quality is impeccable - after inspection I can say that the guitar is nothing more than flawless. Soundwise, it's flexible enough for wide range of styles and can be used for stuff ranging from nice clear sound to aggressive riffing. Hardware is top quality, guitar stays in tune and came almost ready to play as I pulled it out of the box. The Nazgul/Sentient combo fits well and is articulate.
Overall - killer guitar, built well, plays well and looks spectacular. Good job from Mayones, they have a new fan, already eyeing a Regius.
