(that was an adventure it was haunted) but any ways like I said I have been thinking about attempting to build a open back banjo myself and trying some different woods that are out of the norm. Head-turning tops are yet another feature of Mayones guitars.My mind is always in the thinking mode of how things work and why something is made with some materials and not other materials I have been pondering the Idea of attempting to make a open back banjo myself, I pretty much have all the tools to make one as I was into woodworking pretty heavy at one time I have restored a home my wife and I owned in Ohio in 2009 that was built in 1889 On top of that, Mayones also has their own proprietory take on torrefied wood called T.E.W. Mayones use wide selection of timbers and tonewoods: eye poplar, swamp ash, black limba, wenge, 5A flamed maple, pale moon ebony, master grade buckeye burl….to name a few examples. Recognisable headstock designs, radiused body construction, dual action truss rods and stainless steel frets are features relative to the whole brand. The luthiers express their visions through a careful selection of only the finest tonewoods, ethically sourced from certified sustainable North American suppliers.ĭelivered in whole chunks, these are then intricately cut onsite to fit desirable bookmatched tops, which is something only a few boutique builders do. These luthiers, engineers and designers work faithfully along with directors, marketing and sales team, fulfiling world-wide orders on a daily basis. Nearly all of the staff are local to the Gdansk-Gdynia-Sopot Tricity area. Every instrument is designed, handcrafted, painted & Q-C’d in Gdansk, Poland by a small team of 40 people. Mayones’ authenticity doesn’t end on the name itself. A light-hearted name that stuck and surely stands out on the market. This was not the case with Mayones! Legend has it that in the early days of guitar production, before the brand was fully formed, Mr & Mrs Dziewulski colaborated with a friend nicknamed ‘Mayonnaise’ - simply because he loved adding this creamy sauce onto virtually everything he ate! Having no other ideas, they used the name as a temporary fix - and the rest is history. It is a somewhat common practice for guitar luthiers to call their wooden creations after their last name: Leo Fender, Paul Reed Smith and Orville Gibson to name a few.
There is very little information to be found when it comes to the history of the brand’s name. A testament to their tenacity and devotion, Mayones are today one of the most highly prized boutique guitars on the modern market. They even cooperated with military suppliers to buy broken switches and other parts to use in their guitars! The enormous political and social changes of 1989 saw the team at Mayones finally able to build on their vision and grow the brand, striving towards crafting the very best quality instruments they could produce.
Luckily for us though, the Dziewulski family were as resourceful as they were inspired: using magnets found in furniture, or children’s train sets to salvage parts to use in winding pickups. Poland was still well & truly in the grip of Communism and struggling at the time under martial law sourcing materials & components was nearly impossible, and so was importing from abroad. Beginning in the early 1980s, the young company was faced with more than its share of challenges. When this family company first started in a small garage in Gdansk, little did they know they’d go on to become one of the world’s most sought after boutique guitar brands played by some of the biggest names in rock music.įrom that small garage to the world's stage, the story of Mayones guitars reads like a rockstar biography.
