Mayones introduces Djentlemen Series 7/8 Strings - Page 3

FrancescoFiligoi · 03-21-2012, 07:51 PM

Tried the 8 string MM 8 QM today at the Messe, wasn't impressed at all. They just don't do it for me. Although also tried one of their Nailbomb equipped masterbuilt models, that one was quite nice actually.

Necris · 03-21-2012, 08:27 PM

The instruments themselves do nothing for me (not a Mayones fan), that's to say nothing of the absolutely ridiculous name for this series.

You spelled Ibanez Meshuggah signature wrong

Is it possible that you werent impressed because it has a basswood body? Im just curious why the masterbuilt was better. You mention it had nailbombs so Im thinking that maybe it was a tone thing rather than a playability thing? If it was a tone thing then it does lead to me to the basswood as the culprit, or the pickups. Or was the masterbuilt just all around better feeling?

Youve actually played one? and didnt like the tone or feel at all?

Ibanez doesn't have an open custom shop.

Have to say, the only Mayones I'm still really interested in is a Black Rose Maestro.

Would be interested in seeing a Caledonius ERG as well.

Technically you're right,I meant it more the "luthiery" shop way,since the meshuggah sigs production are supposed to be taken care of the same way a custom one does am I right?

It's contracted out to Sugi, which is a custom shop, but no Ibanez employee has a hand in them.

The only Ibanez CS is the LACS, and it's very much not "open".

Wait, did you post this in the correct thread?

They mentioned "djent" like 10 times on the page and they're called the "Djentleman" series. I'm not sure where we are never ceasing to amaze you.

broj15 · 03-22-2012, 03:11 AM

Regius 7 Gothic T and the Regius 8 MM QM are both amazing. The finish on that 8 string just might be the best thing to ever happen to a Mayones... Except for a sweet burl top, of course.

Edit: It just has "seymour duncans" listed as the pickups for the regius 7 gothic T... Anyone know what they actually are (as far as which model)?

Miek · 03-22-2012, 12:01 PM

Bart's has an SH-2 and an SH-5 and Jochem's has an SH-2 and an SH-6

shanejohnson02 · 03-22-2012, 12:30 PM

The burst on Misha's is....awesome. I wonder if I can get Carvin to do that finish for me? Hmmm...

jam3v · 03-22-2012, 12:52 PM

Misha's blue burst really is stunning. If that guitar was reasonably priced, I would buy it.

It isn't? What is your definition of a reasonable price from a custom-shop?

They're more expensive for us 'Muricans because of the exchange rate and the importing costs. IIRC they're sorta like Europes Carvin. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

SenorDingDong · 03-23-2012, 10:46 AM

This is an April Fools joke, right? Mayones just forgot to change their calenders or something, and they did the joke a month early.

What do you mean they aren't marketed as djent guitars?
Thats the entire point of the "Djentlemen" series. (Seriously could they find a word lamer than Djentlemen?)
The description states that they are perfect for djent.
I'm sure you could use these for other things but they were obviously created with a target audience in mind.

Even if the word Djent wasn't stamped all over the page and those artists werent listed I'd still know what these were for.

ehh I'm pretty sure even in Europe, Mayones is in a completely different price bracket than Carvin is to us here..

Ehh, they're a metric ....ton more expensive than Carvin.

OTT.. This seems a bit too ridiculous.

Zado · 03-23-2012, 06:00 PM

Ok,gotta start saving.

And learning how to play that djent thing,or whatever is called

I basically tried most of the guitars they're having at the Messe right now. There are a couple masterbuilts which are good (a Nailbomb red one and a Cold Sweat white one), not my thing but they have a smooth finish, good necks and tone.

Misha's one is aesthetically quite good (don't like the top that much in person) but I really don't like the finish, neck, playability and the Aftermaths sounded quite dead in that guitar imho. I'm very unimpressed with Meshuggah's signature also, and the best 8 string I've tried (except from the last Blackmachine F8) is Carvin DC800 which is just plain awesome. Just my two cents on this little extended range comparison.

maliciousteve · 03-24-2012, 04:20 AM

Hang on, THESE are too expensive? some of you guys were fapping/defending like mad for the Ibanez Meshuggah sig. Just saying.

fusion1 · 03-25-2012, 01:09 PM

Not familiar with Mayones guitars, but seeing the headstock it reminds me of Caparison guitars only not as dramatic of a swoop. Come to think of it the Mayones headstock looks exactly like the older ESP Horizon guitars like Paige Hamilton from Helmet played.

Maybe I only speak for myself, but I think that there'd be less of a problem with "djent" as a genre name if it wasn't used in puns such as this... then it makes me want to punch a baby. A high-end builder of 8-string guitars already associated with quite a few popular djent acts really doesn't really need to oversell the connection with such a silly name.
