This is really random, but can I just say I really appreciate the long fade-outs on your videos. Gives me time to actually look at the end-cards and/or click off before something else in the playlist starts blaring at me! :P
Curiosity: we call bird's eye maple the peacock's eye maple in Polish :). Great video, as usual, glad to see you cooperating with a Polish company, TBF I considered their offer lacking some more traditional axes and they filled the gap perfectly with this pair. If I only wasn't skint that much, I'd get one! BR, Igor
Pretty much my dream Superstrat. Got all the specs that hit the right spots, 24 SS frets, nice contoured heel, HSS. Knowing myself I'd probably block the trem with the coin and duct tape method and solder in a hotter bridge humbucker, but hey I can't afford one so wishfull thinking anyway :') Thanks for the demo man; great playing! You could make anything sound great.
These guitars are probably the best sounding instruments I've heard you play through your stereo rig. Amazing tones. Definitely what I hear in my head when I want an hss strat style instrument.
Oof, position 4 on those pickups I would live there. I'd build a small log cabin, sit on the porch in a rocking chair with a mug of hot chocolate, and just soak it all in.
Man, I’ve been following your playing for a long time, first found you on Anderson’s early videos & stuff with Rob...been a fan of all you guys. Man, you are a phenomenal guitar player...I mean like another planet level. Those are fine guitars, but I think you’re playing is the star. Peace!
Bhought the Aquila FM6 last year, same as the brown one in the vid but with Black Limba body. The sound is fenomenal, it’s similar to a fat strat but with 24 stainless frets and a recessed, stable trem (Gotoh 510). What I also like is the volume know having a push/push function to split the coil to make it sound like a vintage ‘Blackmore-ish’ kind a sound. Highly recommend these guitars.
I love my mayones, I have the setius pro 6 that's on their website as series model. I fell in love with the Aquila qm when the first photos dropped. The gas is strong.
All the Mayones models look so beautiful. I love that fancy woods, boutique kinda vibe. I've read that you don't get rolled fingerboard edges on them though. Seems like a bit of an oversight for such expensive instruments. Have seen a number of comments saying the edges are a sharp 90 degrees. That would really put me off ever getting one, regardless of how good they look. I sent a Schecter back recently, one of the 2 reasons being the fingerboard edges not being smooth. I was surprised as I have a cheaper Schecter model (Reaper-6) with a very comfortable neck and fingerboard edges. Don't know whether it's cost cutting in the factory or whether only certain models get that extra treatment. That said, I did get to play one of these Aquila models in my local guitar shop, which is one of the few UK Mayones dealers. I didn't feel anything uncomfortable with the neck so perhaps there are other factors at play that affect the comfort...or maybe I just got even more appreciative of smooth edges the longer I played my own guitars with them so suddenly trying something without may have been more noticeable then. Anyways...the Aquila I tried definitely felt like a high quality instrument. I was surprised to see how thick the neck is in the specs, as my preference seems to be ultra-thin, but the Aquila felt fine to me. The Suhr Standard Plus I also got to try in the same shop felt even nicer to play though, and had incredible sounding single coils.
Damn dude!!!! I wish you got to keep one of them for the channel!! They sound amazing in your hands dude!! Could you imagine if you did a custom mayones guitar for yourself!! Wow that is just amazing to imagine with your BKP Silo’s in there!!
Dang! I’m all about solid nitro finishes over figured woods, and I’ve never been a fan of those pearloid guards, but if I had four grand laying around I’d snatch up one of these in a heartbeat. Something special them. Great demo, as always.
I love Mayones Guitars. I have a Setius and it is the best playing and best made guitar i own. Got it for 1000€. They really are one of the best guitars made. But i would not buy one for the price they are asking for it.
They still are way better value than lets say stupidly expensive Fender Custom Shops which don't really deliver any high-end features or exotic woods, nothing like that... Just more or less basic Fenders with absurd price tags
Wow they both look 👀 & sound great but the flame maple FM6 sounds absolutely phenomenal. Then again anything you play sounds great 👍 Love the channel & you’re album’s 🎶
Now that is very interesting. 24 frets pushes the neck and middle pickups closer to the bridge, so far more higher harmonics on the neck pickup. Assuming the middle is wired opposite to neck and bridge then you should get quacky noise-cancelling but with better high frequencies, Bit like a Strat on steroids? Bright and jangly but with even more attitude. Love it.
Mayones is carried by the "Music Store Professional" in cologne. Their "Fame" (exclusive for "Music Store Professional") guitars are also of Mayones origin. These 2 "super Strats" are just perfect eye candy. I would love to say: "watch out Fender custom shop" but i can't because of the resale value. So these axes are for the player, not the accountant ... ant they deserve to be played. Great demo, thanks a lot!
@@jestemkwita Ok, i would think that a suhr is maybe equivalent in terms of build quality... but i know Mayones is very high level, i played a few, they're fantastic.
I hate you Bea. I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on an MIH Ibanez AZ Prestige HSS as a less delicate alternative to my beloved HSS Suhr. But man, these Mayones Aquilas look and sound INCREDIBLE! Thanks for making my life difficult :D

@@elevenAD I know about Kiesel but here in Spain they are not do common to even try them! I'm going to make myself one or two and see how it goes but I'm in love with the shape of the body the legend model has so I may do something like that eventually.
@@oskarwroniewicz Of course, Fender or Gibson are just expensive names I'm sure you could find some marvelous guitars in those companies but you need to try 10000000 bad ones for the same price, not worth it in my opinion.
I just love good players show what they are capable of on any sort of guitar. it reminds me that, if you play well, many instruments sound amazing, no matter what price. some players are just amazing to listen to, such as Rabea here.
Hey bea!! Thanks dude this video is just what I needed to watch today!! Your playing always makes me inspired!! Thank you cocker that video was a good un you should be chuffed with that video spadge
Nice headstock, probably the most satisfying fender knock off ive seen, almost original, got the hockeystick thing going which completes the guitar like the ones that taper thinner dont seem to do like Shur's or Godin's. Not a fan of fusion guitars i guess but thats a good description , they dont look very original, actually look identical to some Godin's ive seen hanging in the shop for awhile, same styling but i supposed thats what they were going for and they are bringing that attention to detail and quality so its nice you can get a normal looking guitar form them now, i liked their non normal looking stuff better though, probably a steal too, you're probbably getting Gibson custom shop in these things.
I currently own a Suhr Modern, an Ibanez AZ Prestige, a couple of Tom Anderson Droptop Classics. Out of those 3 brands the AZ getting the most play time. It feels rugged sort of go anywhere...a Swiss army knife of a guitar. The Anderson are absolutely amazing for its build quality & feel....I honestly believe guitar making cannot be any better than Tom Anderson but they are still not my most favourite, yes, the best of everything for sure but not the most favourite. And my Suhr Modern....umm feels rather ordinary 😂. I think the Suhr & Ibanez Prestige are on par but I much prefer the AZ neck...its chunky but very playable and begging you to dig into notes. I’m very interested in the Mayones but I could get another Anderson for the same money 🙄 If the house burns down I’d save my 2 Anderson the Ibanez is totally replaceable, the Andersons were custom order and very special! And the Suhr? let it burned....😂
I heard the QM as being snappier in tone. Both beautiful guitars. I think my recently unemployed budget, I'll take to my cheapest guitar with some mayonaise, and settle for that. :P
Hi Rabea, Great vid, as always. Anything more to report on your custom shop strat, or have you settled for the original PUs? Any chance of a similar vid with the Sire Larry Carltons? The S7 looks to be capable of things broader than Mr. C's tastes. So far, I've only seen the Captain playing a blue S7. On the Anderton's site, it seems to be available in burst, natural, and white (maybe?) finishes. A comparison similar to this vid, would be fab. Same for the other two Sire Larry models - L7 and H7.
i just got my first expensive guitar its a 2019 ibanez 7 string rg prestige in fluorecent transparent green. i'm so happy i could just scream. i was interested in bare knuckle brute force 's after watching your promotional video. i was also saying i was going to get a 7 string for years so two birds with one stone.
Mayones guitars are so beautiful, even more so when they’re played by a beautiful man
A BEAutiful man as well
Claudio Sanchez but more bae
Wait I’m not actually into the video yet but is mayones pronounced mayonaise? 😂
That’s why I bought one.
Patrick Star was right.. Mayonnaise is an instrument after all.
Take that squidward!
Hahaha man I'm crying
This is really random, but can I just say I really appreciate the long fade-outs on your videos. Gives me time to actually look at the end-cards and/or click off before something else in the playlist starts blaring at me! :P
Rabea, if you did an album with those ambient crunch tones you would win a Grammy. You are a master at that.
agreed. he is such a versatile player.
Man, Bea has THE best tone ALL the time. It's mind-blowing really. Doesn't matter if he's playing a Mayones or a Squier.
Yep, the best tone comes from the way you play!.
"Let's make something completely new"
"And what exactly"?
"Let's make a Strat"
"Great idea, let's do it"
Looks like the perfect guitar .... I've tried one a few weeks ago, it was instant love. Just need some money now !
Curiosity: we call bird's eye maple the peacock's eye maple in Polish :).

100 proof guitar porn.
Also, I now have Tonally Enhanced Wood.
Dude it doesn't matter what guitar or amp you play, your playing is the highlight!
KUDOS !
you're in freakin shape man!!!
Those guitars are tough to find but seem to be worth it !
Love your man cave man!😊

19:49 when you hit that note that makes your whole house hum along .
Those guitars suhr do look nice
That QM6 sounded like it wanted to be tuned to Drop C and be played with tons of reverb, damn it sounded good
22:38 THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A GUITAR SCREAM! Your videos are flawless Rabea ❤️

He has worked out a lot , Good Job Rabea! Love you man
You take me on a magic carpet ride every time I listen to you play
0:56 going all Rick Graham in the intro
I was looking for that comment. LOL
i have a regius 7.... this is an incredible expensive & beautiful beast , i would not hesitate for an Aquila. it just sounds perfect
Holy shit dude, 22:35 was brain melting. Fuuuuck I wish I had a few thousand dollars lying around to make that sound
18:43 Magic Carpet Ride :D
No Worries like a Free Concert Bro Love The Tunes. 👍👍🎶🎶🎸Well Done.
great demo, great playing A clear concise presentation through and through . Enjoyable.Thank you.
Thanks Bea. Awesome playing, Awesome guitars.
omg that wenge neck is stunning,
love the video bea! keep doing well !
They make outstanding instruments. They do their own thing and they do it well rather than copy anyone else.
Damn dude!!!! I wish you got to keep one of them for the channel!! They sound amazing in your hands dude!! Could you imagine if you did a custom mayones guitar for yourself!! Wow that is just amazing to imagine with your BKP Silo’s in there!!
I love my Lollar Blackface neck pickup. It sounds more Fender than many Fender ones.
Beautiful guitars, I prefer the flame top one. Your playing reminds me of Audley Freed from Cry of Love.
Dang! I’m all about solid nitro finishes over figured woods, and I’ve never been a fan of those pearloid guards, but if I had four grand laying around I’d snatch up one of these in a heartbeat. Something special them. Great demo, as always.

Bea's tanning game is on point! :) Love your videos! Those Mayones guitars are so beautiful!
My Duvell has been my main for almost 6 years now, Mayones are one of the best made and sounding guitars in the business.
I took a swig every time Bea said contemporary. I'm buzzed, my credit card is hot and im current on Sweetwater looking for more pedals.
god they are stunning. mayones have always been gorgeous and wanted guitars by me.
I'm a sucker for birdseye fretboards!!
Now that is very interesting. 24 frets pushes the neck and middle pickups closer to the bridge, so far more higher harmonics on the neck pickup. Assuming the middle is wired opposite to neck and bridge then you should get quacky noise-cancelling but with better high frequencies, Bit like a Strat on steroids? Bright and jangly but with even more attitude. Love it.
Ha ha! I wrote that before getting to the end of your video, Rabea. Sorry, but your quest for tone is over.... You found it. On my way to Epsom now.
Holy Crap Batman
You Made Me Fall in Love With This Guitar 🎸🎸 , but The Price 💲💲is Way Out Of Any Possibly / Possibility Of Me Ever Owning One

Nice Guitar, and Some Choice Licks Brother!
Cool shout out for Jakub Zytecki - The guy's amazing.
came for the review, stay for the jam
I would be interested on your thought of this Mayones in comparison of an Ibanez AZ or a Suhr.
Also add in one of the new corts that look alot like this
Vigier and carillion also make some epic super strats.
It's definitely better.
@@thedutchdjentleman True but only the apparence...
@@jestemkwita Ok, i would think that a suhr is maybe equivalent in terms of build quality... but i know Mayones is very high level, i played a few, they're fantastic.
Your vids haven't been popping up on my feed! YT algo is playing games with my heart.
Wenge is probably my favorite neck wood, makes every guitar feel different even if they have the same neck dimensions.
I hate you Bea. I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on an MIH Ibanez AZ Prestige HSS as a less delicate alternative to my beloved HSS Suhr. But man, these Mayones Aquilas look and sound INCREDIBLE! Thanks for making my life difficult :D
This is just pure quality don't need to play this to know that
They are so freakin expensive but I´m in love with the Legend since I first saw it, if only we can have such guitars for 1000-1500 MAX...
Try a $1500 Kiesel you may be surprised..

Bea that tone at 22:37 is GNARLY. What are you using to create it?
Mayones is great! Glad you enjoy it too!
Greetings from Poland!
such a nice sound. you are a very good player brother :)
The ash guitar sounds like heaven but the mahogany one looks sweeter!
KILLER SOUND on QM6
The ambient signal chain works best for me. I'd love to be able to replicate that sound/tone on my Blackstar HT Stage 100.
Who else watches the videos for the playing first and the product second?
100%
Pete Thorn and Henning Pauly as well!
I'm definitely not shopping for a $3k guitar right now sooooo
I just love good players show what they are capable of on any sort of guitar. it reminds me that, if you play well, many instruments sound amazing, no matter what price.

Hey bea!! Thanks dude this video is just what I needed to watch today!! Your playing always makes me inspired!! Thank you cocker that video was a good un you should be chuffed with that video spadge
lovely, how do these feel compared to similarly speced Suhr Modern customs?
I love these. Just wish I could afford one...
I'm on the same boat!
Great guitars. Fmt would be my choice. Great playing and tones 👌
I love mayo, might have to pick one of these up
That is a stunning axe
Wonderful looking guitars! The playing isn't bad either my friend😉
Simply beautifull.
I just got a Mayones Legend with the same Lollar pickups. They’re so good! Have you tried the Legend?
sounds incredible
Bea could make a broom handle from B&Q sound good.
16:03 This phrasing reminds me of something from RDR…
Nice guitar, i’d like that maple neck on the blue body though. 😁
Amazing guitarist 😊👍and amazing guitar😊bravo Bea you are amazing
Absolutely stunning instruments 0_o
Absolutely beautiful guitars, tones and playing. Do hear a bit of Andy Timmons influence?
I'll take the blue one!
Really great demo.
Do they have stainless steel frets?
The fretwork and build quality in general looks stellar!
Yes they do :)

New drinking game, take a shot evry time Rabea says modern contemporary
QM6 is darker, more aggressive sounding, definitely lends itself to hard rock. FM6 has a bright, Nashville sound. Both are A-MAZING.
That FM6 is my dream guitar realised. Dear Santa....
Nobody:
Not one single person:
Mayones: "The world needs another Suhr-esque guitar!"
it still looks distinct, I have to look at the headstock to distinguish a Suhr from Fender
Rabea! Greetings from Poland
Tom Anderson influence?
I like the look of the FM but the QM sounds more like a strat to me. Which is what I’d want
They look very similar to my TAG Droptop Classic
Both guitars are really something, for me the FM has that something extra. I’m nursing a semi here 😳
i just got my first expensive guitar its a 2019 ibanez 7 string rg prestige in fluorecent transparent green.
