Mayones Brand Origins
Mayones Guitars was established in 1987 in Gdańsk, Poland, initially focusing on custom instruments for European session players before expanding into full production lines in the early 2000s.
Hydra Model Development
The Hydra series debuted around 2010 as a modern, offset-body design optimized for 7- and 8-string configurations, evolving from the brand’s earlier Regius platform with refined ergonomics and multi-scale options.
Elite Series Refinements
The Elite designation, introduced in the mid-2010s, added upgraded hardware, custom Mayones pickups, and higher-grade woods such as swamp ash and flamed maple while retaining the original Hydra neck profile and chambered construction.
Notable Artists
Per Nilsson has been a long-term Hydra user since 2012, while other adopters include guitarists from Monuments, Uneven Structure, and Polish acts such as Decapitated.
