Brand Origins
Mayones was founded in 1982 in Poland by Marcin Grochowski, initially producing custom basses before expanding into electric guitars in the late 1990s with a focus on high-end European craftsmanship and modern specifications.
Setius Line Development
The Setius series emerged in the 2000s as a set-neck alternative to Mayones’ neck-through Regius models, offering bolt-on or set-neck options with updated body contours and electronics for broader tonal versatility while maintaining premium build standards.
Notable Artists and Evolution
Artists such as Misha Mansoor of Periphery and members of bands like Monuments and Animals as Leaders have used Mayones instruments, driving refinements in multi-scale designs and active/passive pickup configurations through the 2010s and 2020s.
