Mayones Aquila Cardinal 6 Adam Christianson Signature

Crafted in Gdansk, Poland, Mayones Guitars combines modern design, expert craftsmanship, and over 35 years of tradition. Since 1982, Mayones’ world-class luthiers have delivered guitars of exceptional quality.

The Mayones Adam Christianson Aquila Cardinal is built around the sleek Aquila body shape, designed for simplicity and performance. Featuring an American Ash body enhanced through Mayones’ Tonally Enhanced Wood (T.E.W.) process, it delivers incredible resonance, stability, and clarity. Finished in Antique Black, it exudes an aggressive, no-frills aesthetic.

The T.E.W. Maple neck with graphite reinforcement offers unmatched stability and resonance. The custom D-shape profile features an ebony fingerboard with a 12” radius, 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, a 43.5mm nut width, and a 25.4” scale with a Graph Tech TUSQ nut.

Cutting through dense mixes is essential for Adam Christianson’s playing, and the Mayones TKO pickup set delivers. Developed in collaboration with Bare Knuckle Pickups, the TKO set includes a ceramic bridge humbucker and Alnico V neck humbucker, providing a wide frequency range, dynamic response, and versatility—aggressive under gain, pristine when clean.

The Aquila Cardinal is the perfect blend of traditional looks and modern playability, reflecting the impeccable build quality Mayones is known for.
