Mayones Guitars Duvell Elite 6 Supernova Red review

The Mayones Guitars Duvell Elite 6 Supernova Red is a six-string, ST-style electric guitar with a mahogany body, a figured poplar top, and a bolt-on neck built from five pieces of wenge and purpleheart. Its listed price is $3,775. The specification centers on two humbuckers, a 24-fret ebony fingerboard, and a fixed Hipshot bridge. No customer reviews are available, so this assessment is based only on the supplied construction and hardware details.

Body, top, and finish

The body is mahogany, topped with AAA birdseye poplar. The top is the most visually distinctive part of the stated wood combination, while the Supernova Red matte finish gives the instrument its named appearance. The specifications also list natural binding, which provides a contrasting edge detail. They do not describe the body's weight, contouring, or finish treatment beyond its color and matte surface.

The model is specified as an ST-style shape. That identifies its general body format, but does not establish particular ergonomic contours or dimensions. Buyers comparing it with other guitars should check the instrument in person or consult a detailed body drawing if those measurements matter to fit or playing position.

Neck and fingerboard

The bolt-on neck uses a five-piece wenge and purpleheart construction. Its D-shaped profile is a concrete point of reference for players choosing a neck, although the supplied information does not give thickness measurements at the first or twelfth fret. The 645 mm scale length, also listed as 25.4 inches, is a longer scale than a typical 24.75-inch design and may influence string tension with the same tuning and string gauge.

The ebony fingerboard has a 406 mm (16-inch) radius and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets. Stainless steel is the stated fret material, while the jumbo size indicates a substantial fret format. The data does not specify fret dimensions or a setup measurement, so action and fret feel cannot be assessed from the listing alone.

Fingerboard decoration includes white, 4 mm acrylic offset-dot inlays, with 2 mm Super Blue dot markers along the side. A Graph Tech Black Tusq nut completes the stated neck hardware. These details make the visual layout and nut material clear, but the listing does not provide nut width or string spacing.

Pickups and controls

The guitar carries two Velvetrone humbuckers with brushed nickel covers: an Ironside at the bridge and a Solium at the neck. A five-way switch selects pickup configurations, but the available specifications do not explain the switch positions or whether any settings split the coils. It would be unwise to assume a particular wiring layout without a manufacturer diagram.

Control is handled by one volume knob with a treble-bleed modification. That circuit is intended to preserve treble as the volume is reduced, but its exact effect depends on the circuit values and the rest of the signal chain, which are not provided. There is no listed tone control. The combination of two humbuckers and a five-way selector offers several selectable settings on paper, though the precise range of sounds needs confirmation from a wiring chart or direct demonstration.

Bridge, tuners, and included case

A fixed Hipshot bridge is listed, with no tremolo system. The hardware is described as black and gold, and the tuners are Hipshot GripLock locking machines. Schaller S-Locks are also included. Together, these specifications identify the main tuning and strap-attachment hardware, without making claims about tuning stability or setup performance.

The package includes a Softlight case. The listing also marks a gig bag as included, while saying that a case is not included in a separate field. Because those entries conflict, buyers should confirm exactly which carrying solution ships with the guitar before ordering.

Technical verdict

The Duvell Elite 6 has a clearly defined premium specification: a five-piece bolt-on neck, ebony fingerboard, stainless steel frets, a pair of named humbuckers, locking tuners, and a fixed bridge. Its 645 mm scale, D neck profile, and 16-inch fingerboard radius are useful comparison points for players checking compatibility with their preferred string tension and neck shape.

Important details remain unlisted, including the guitar's weight, neck dimensions, pickup wiring, and factory setup. There are also no customer reports to draw on. At $3,775, the best next step is to verify those points with the seller, particularly the five-way switching functions and the conflicting case information. The stated specifications make this a well-appointed Duvell model, but they do not substitute for a hands-on inspection.
