Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to be an official Mayones dealer. If you haven't checked these guys out yet, you're in for a real treat! Black limba was best known for being used on old Gibson guitars. It's harder to work with than mahogany but provides a more refined tone that is similar, but tighter than mahogany. Along with having beautiful figuring, the black limba is one of those holy grail tonewoods that you don't see used that frequently anymore, but boy does it sound awesome.

Offering some of the highest quality craftsmanship we've ever come across, Mayones is building some absolutely killer guitars that have more than just metal rockers and djent shredders turning their heads to take note. Perfectly mixing cool aesthetics, immaculate build quality, and wonderfully searing tones, this Duvell BL 7 is a take no prisoners kind of axe. The low-B string is nice and tight so you can drop-tune without worrying about it getting all wobbly on you.

This one's locked and loaded with Bare Knuckle Cold Sweat pickups that are hot and searing, but also can clean up nicely. They have a smooth mid-range that sits very nicely in the mix. They're definitely geared towards the modern rocker

The ergonomic body, perfectly groomed frets, and built for speed neck design keep the Duvell's eye focused clearly on the modern player. This axe is like a racecar sitting at the red light revving its engine, just itching for the light to turn green and unleash the power like a bat out of hell. The playability is incredible and the tone leaves nothing to be desired. A simple master volume control (with push/pull coil-splitting capability) makes this a no-fuss shredder's axe that is locked and loaded, ready for the limelight.

Item Details

Duvell is a metal machine that doesn’t skimp out on anything related to playability and tone. It’s a superstrat-shaped instrument with bolt-on neck and pointed horns for an aggressive look. This guitar comes in two main flavours: standard and Elite.

“When I visited Namm 2014, I tried the prototype Duvell made for Misha, I fell in love right away. It was one of the most comfortable guitars I’ve ever played that sounded aggressive and tight, great the for the music I play. Mayones craft amongst the best guitars on the market today. Very unique instruments that have been given a lot of love during their build!” – John Browne / Monuments

“If you’re looking for an ultra-high quality metal machine that doesn’t skimp out on anything related to playability and tone, then the Duvell is for you! They aren’t cheap, but no quality instrument is ever going to be cheap. Personally, I rarely order new guitars, but I placed an order for a Duvell Elite with a pale moon ebony fretboard after playing this guitar. That should say enough.” – Wired Guitarist

“The attention to detail that Mayones put into every single one of their instruments is very apparent – it radiates from the tip of my Duvell’s headstock all the way down to the input jack. You need to hold one in your hands to really appreciate this level of craftsmanship.” – Luke Hoskin / Protest The Hero

Bare Knuckle Cold Sweat Set

The Cold Sweat humbucker is a tight and percussive ceramic powered humbucker with a high resonant peak, producing clear, detailed treble response and smooth mids.

The custom sized ceramic magnet gives the Cold Sweat humbucker a more controlled dynamic with stacks of output and sustain. The mix of ceramic powered bridge and Alnico V powered neck gives a broad palette of clean and driven tones which creates the perfect tone for a variety of modern rock styles.

The neck humbucker is very popular among shred players for its articulate but fluid tone, and it is ideal for effortless sweep picking; the bridge pickup is also known for its precise attack. Pick harmonics jump out and the whole feel is very touch sensitive, especially when used with high-gain. The powerful bass and treble response of the bridge humbucker has the effect of slightly scooping the mids, which creates a very precise and rich tone with masses of depth.

The Cold Sweat humbuckers are absolutely perfect for pushing a tube amp into natural overdrive, and they will also maintain superb definition with the full saturation of a high-gain amp.
