The Mayones Setius 6 Natural is a premium Polish-built electric that combines traditional mahogany-and-maple construction with the fast neck geometry and precision associated with Mayones' modern performance guitars.

Its mahogany body and flamed maple top are paired with a substantial 5-piece mahogany/maple neck, while the straightforward fixed-bridge design makes this an especially appealing choice for players who favour tuning stability and uncomplicated setup.

A classic Seymour Duncan pairing provides the electronics: the SH-2n Jazz at the neck and SH-4b JB at the bridge. Together they cover articulate cleans, fluid lead sounds and powerful rock and metal rhythm tones, with coil splitting providing brighter alternative textures.

This Pre-Owned example is offered in Very Good condition and includes a hardcase.

Condition Notes

This individual Setius has been graded Very Good, making it a strong choice for somebody looking for a serious boutique-built working guitar without paying purely for collector-level cosmetic presentation.

Why Choose The Mayones Setius 6?

Mahogany Body With Flamed Maple Top

The Setius combines a mahogany body with a flamed maple top, giving it the familiar premium construction formula associated with many high-end rock guitars.

The maple also provides the visual centrepiece of this Natural-finished example, with the flame remaining clearly visible across the front of the instrument.

5-Piece Mahogany / Maple Neck

Rather than using a conventional single-piece neck, Mayones constructed the Setius around a five-piece laminate of mahogany and maple.

Multi-piece neck construction helps provide additional rigidity and stability while giving the rear of the instrument a distinctive boutique appearance.

Fast 16" Fingerboard Radius

The relatively flat 16" radius is clearly aimed at contemporary playing.

It provides plenty of room for wide bends, low-action setups and fast lead work while still remaining perfectly usable for conventional rhythm and chord playing.

25.4" Scale

The 25.4" / 645mm scale sits very close to the familiar 25.5" scale used by many modern electric guitars.

It gives the Setius a firm, articulate response that suits heavier rhythm work particularly well.

Fixed String-Through Bridge

The Setius uses a fixed Tune-o-Matic-style bridge with the strings anchored through the body.

For players who do not require a tremolo, the design provides straightforward setup, accurate intonation and excellent tuning stability.

Seymour Duncan SH-2 Jazz And SH-4 JB

The Jazz/JB combination has become one of Seymour Duncan's best-known humbucker pairings.

SH-2n Jazz Neck

The SH-2 Jazz provides a clear, articulate neck sound without the excessive low-end softness that can occur with some traditional neck humbuckers.

It works especially well for:

• Clean chords
• Arpeggios
• Fluid lead work
• Fusion
• Progressive rock
• Ambient playing

SH-4b JB Bridge

The JB is a considerably hotter bridge humbucker with strong upper-mid presence and plenty of harmonic content.

It is particularly effective for:

• Rock rhythm
• Hard rock
• Metal
• Lead guitar
• Harmonics
• Overdriven chord work

Together they give the Setius enough versatility to move well beyond its modern-rock appearance.

Push/Pull Coil Splitting

The Setius electronics include push/pull coil splitting, allowing the humbuckers to operate in leaner single-coil-style configurations.

These settings do not turn the guitar into a traditional Stratocaster, but they provide useful brighter alternatives for cleans, layered studio parts and more percussive rhythm sounds.

Comparison Against Popular Alternatives

Mayones Setius vs Mayones Regius

The Regius is built around Mayones' neck-through construction and sits further into the brand's flagship territory. The Setius uses bolt-on construction and offers a slightly more direct, stripped-back interpretation of the Mayones approach.

Setius vs Mayones Duvell

The Duvell represents a newer and more aggressively modern Mayones platform. The Setius has a somewhat more traditional double-cut profile while retaining the fast neck and premium construction expected from the brand.

Setius vs PRS Custom 24

Both can use a mahogany-and-maple construction recipe, but the Mayones has a flatter fingerboard, longer scale and more overtly modern performance focus.

Setius vs Ibanez Prestige

An Ibanez Prestige will often have a considerably thinner neck profile and 25.5" scale. The Setius feels more substantial while still delivering similarly precise upper-register playability.

Who Is It For?

Rock Guitarists

The JB bridge pickup and mahogany/maple construction provide plenty of authority for driven rhythm and lead tones.

Metal Players

A fixed bridge, firm scale and high-output bridge humbucker make the Setius particularly capable through modern high-gain amplifiers.

Progressive Guitarists

The 24-fret layout, flat fingerboard and clear pickup response work extremely well for complex chords and technical arrangements.

Lead Players

The neck geometry and generous upper-fret access make the Setius a comfortable instrument for fast runs, wide bends and extended lead playing.

Studio Musicians

The combination of Jazz, JB and coil-split sounds offers enough tonal contrast to layer multiple guitar parts effectively.

Boutique Guitar Enthusiasts

Mayones instruments have a very different character from mass-produced guitars, particularly through their wood selection, multi-piece neck construction and Polish manufacture.

Suitable Genres And Uses

The Mayones Setius 6 is particularly well suited to:

• Rock
• Hard rock
• Metal
• Progressive metal
• Progressive rock
• Fusion
• Alternative
• Instrumental rock
• Lead guitar
• Rhythm guitar
• Studio recording
• Session work
• Live performance

What Makes A Five-Piece Neck Different?

A laminated neck is constructed from several longitudinal pieces of timber rather than one large piece.

This can provide additional structural consistency and gives builders greater control over the stiffness of the finished neck.

In the Setius, mahogany and maple are combined across five pieces, giving the neck both visual character and a reassuringly substantial construction.

It is one of the details that helps distinguish the Setius from more conventional production guitars.

Story & Context: Mayones And The Setius

Mayones has been producing guitars and basses in Gdańsk, Poland since 1982.

Over time, the company developed a strong reputation among progressive, rock and metal players for combining traditional luthiery with increasingly modern specifications.

The Setius became one of the important models in that development.

Rather than using the neck-through construction associated with the Regius, the Setius employs a bolt-on multi-piece neck, providing a different response while retaining Mayones' focus on high-quality timbers and precision construction.

Flamed-maple-topped Setius models became particularly recognisable during the 2010s, frequently appearing with the Seymour Duncan Jazz/JB combination.

The Setius has since become an interesting Pre-Owned proposition because its specification represents an earlier chapter in Mayones history while remaining entirely relevant for contemporary playing.

Technical Specifications

Specification Note

The Mayones Setius was produced in multiple specifications and could also be extensively customised, so individual examples can differ in fingerboard material, bridge hardware, fretwire, pickup spacing and smaller appointments.

This listing uses the mahogany body, flamed maple top, five-piece mahogany/maple neck and Seymour Duncan SH-2n / SH-4b pickup configuration supplied for this individual guitar.

No serial number or production year has been supplied, so an exact manufacturing date has not been assumed.

Power Requirements

No battery or external power supply is required.

The Seymour Duncan SH-2n and SH-4b pickups and coil-split circuit are completely passive.

Connect the guitar to an amplifier, pedalboard, modeller or recording interface using a standard 1/4" instrument cable.

Why Buy Pre-Owned From Fair Deal Music?

Premium European guitars can make particularly attractive Pre-Owned purchases because earlier specifications are often no longer readily available new.

This Setius combines the classic Jazz/JB pickup set, five-piece neck, fixed bridge and flamed maple top in a specification closely associated with an important period in Mayones' development.

Every Pre-Owned guitar at Fair Deal Music is individually checked and assessed before sale.

Fair Deal Music Verdict

★★★★★ 5/5

The Mayones Setius 6 Natural is an excellent example of why Mayones developed such a strong following among serious modern guitarists.

The mahogany and flamed maple body combination gives it a reassuringly premium foundation, while the five-piece neck, flat fingerboard and 24-fret layout move the playing experience firmly into performance-guitar territory.

The SH-2 Jazz and SH-4 JB pairing is also a particularly good match.

The JB provides plenty of aggression without turning the Setius into a one-dimensional metal guitar, while the Jazz keeps the neck position clear and controlled.

Best suited for: Rock, metal, progressive and technically demanding players wanting boutique European construction.

Customers usually upgrade from: Ibanez Prestige models, higher-spec Schecter guitars, ESP LTD Deluxe models and other professional-level modern electrics.

Most commonly paired with: High-gain valve amplifiers, modern amp modellers, boost, overdrive, noise gate, delay and reverb.

Our tip: Don't dismiss the JB/Jazz set as purely rock-focused. Lower the volume slightly and experiment with the coil split—the Setius can produce considerably more clean and mid-gain variation than its appearance suggests.

Showroom feedback: The Setius strikes a useful balance between boutique construction and straightforward functionality. There is very little unnecessary complexity; most of the specification is there to improve either sound, stability or playability.
