The Mayones Duvell
As a modern designed metal guitar Duvell Elite 6 convinces with optimal handling characteristics and a first-class wood selection. Here Mayones relies on a mahogany body, whose wide cutaways and flowing neck foot give access to the highest layers of the ebony fingerboard. The bolt-on, five-piece neck of wenge and purpleheart (amaranth) also fits the hand with its flat D-profile, so every riff or solo comes off as if by magic. In the fretboard flank, fluorescent Luminlay side dots also provide unobstructed navigation between the 24 extra stainless steel jumbo frets.
The tone conversion of the Duvell Elite 6 is handled by Mayones TKO by Bare Knuckle humbuckers, which were developed by the English pickup manufacturer specifically for Mayones guitars and the needs of contemporary rock and metal. While the neck pickup armed with Alnico-V magnets delivers a clean and open tone for multi-faceted clean sounds singing overdrive, the ceramic humbucker at the bridge convinces with a tight sound. Even at high gain and low tunings, every note is presented precisely and assertively. Thanks to the coil-split option, the Mayones Duvell delivers top-notch single-coil tones. A treble-bleed switch on the volume control also preserves the treble when the volume is turned down.
In addition, the Duvell Elite 6 Trans Black Satin convinces with a high-quality hardware equipment from Hipshot. On the body, the proven Hipshot Fixed Guitar Bridge is used. While the string guide through the body supports the crisp response in tone, the large adjustment possibilities of the tailpieces guarantee an optimal setting of intonation and string action even when using thick string sets for low tunings. Behind the Graph Tech nut, Hipshot Grip-Lock open-gear locking tuners also ensure accurate and stable tuning. Last but not least, Schaller S-Locks keep the electric guitar securely on the strap even during heavy stage action.
