Crafted in Gdansk, Poland, Mayones Guitars and Basses offer the perfect fusion of modern design, craftsmanship and over 40 years of Mayones tradition. Since launching back in 1982, Mayones skilled team of world class luthiers deliver guitars of the highest quality. One real standout artist from Mayones's roster is of course Adam Christianson. As one of the highly influential guitarists in the critically acclaimed metal band Architects, his riff work and virtuoso lead lines have changed the world of modern metal. When you're in a band like Architects ,you definitely need an instrument that's up to the challenge.
Introducing the Mayones Adam Christianson Aquila Cardinal. Based around the Mayones Aquila body shape the beauty is in the simplicity of the design. The no nonsense, no frills approach strips this model right back to the very basics and fundamentals of electric guitar design. Adam himself revealed "I've always been a big fan of very simple guitars & minimalist approach. I feel like they just give you more than you put in."
The Cardinal begins with an American Ash body, which has been exposed to Mayones's Tonally Enhanced Wood program, helping to add resonance, stability and clarity, all of which are essential in a band like Architects. Stained in an awesome Antique Black matte the Cardinal looks mean and menacing!
Paired up with a Tonally Enhanced and graphite reinforced Maple neck, it offers great stability and resonance. The custom D-Shape neck is comfortable and allows for quick and easy movements. The Ebony fingerboard features a slightly rounder 12" radius alongside 24 extra jumbo stainless steel frets, 43.5mm nut width, 25.4"scale, and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut.
In a band like Architects its essential to cut through and stand out, thanks to the Mayones Velvetrone Ironside and Solium pickups, Adam can do just that. This set allows for a great full frequency range and a really dynamic response. The Ironside bridge pickup is like a sledgehammer and produces a high output, focused tone. The Solium neck humbucker is balanced in response and is harmonically rich, it's perfect for soulful leads and silky cleans!
The Aquila Cardinal is finished off with a Hipshot fixed bridge and Gotoh locking tuners as well as super blue side dots.
