Complete Mayones Guitar Guide
Comprehensive buying guide, price analysis, model comparisons, and expert insights to help you understand everything about Mayones guitars.
Mayones Price Overview
Mayones covers a wide range of instruments from entry-level to professional models. Typical used prices vary by condition, series and year. Higher-end USA models and limited editions retain value better than mass-market lines, while rare or vintage pieces often command significant premiums.
When evaluating value, consider originality (pickups, hardware), structural condition (neck, frets, finish) and documentation (serials, receipts, setup reports). Price dispersion across platforms is common; local stores offer service and inspection, whereas online marketplaces provide broader selection and price transparency.

The Duvell Elite at $3,400-$4,400 is Mayones' flagship—handcrafted in Poland, multiscale-ready, built for extended-range and progressive metal. Expect exceptional fretwork and hardware.
Regius Value
