Also known for his collaborations with such names as Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater & Pete Trewavas of Marillion (project: Transatlantic), Paul Gilbert of Mr Big (project: Hammer Of The Gods) or Roine Stolt (The Flower Kings). Daniel is the man behind our Regius Elements limited edition. is the name - his signature version of Mayones Regius Custom Guitar.

The concept behind Regius Elements is to adjust the usual Regius in correspondence to the 5 natural Elements of the Universe, with an appropriate “elemental” look and truly “universal” tonal capabilities.

The first 4 upcoming models: Fire, Water, Earth, & Air will be first time shown to the public on MusikMesse 2006 International Music Trade Fair, held 29.03-01.04.2006 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Starting off with The Regius Fire release on June 21st 2006 (when summer takes its reign over spring), the series is to be issued for sale in strictly limited number of copies according to the consequent solstice / equinox dates (each Element representing one phase of the year). Premiere of the last 5th Element - The Regius Perfect model (named after "The Perfect Element" Pain of Salvation album) is planned for summer 2007, together with the company's 25th anniversary.

"I have been offered endorsement from several guitar makers since I started playing Parker back in 1997, but none has caught my undivided attention until now", comments Daniel. "I have always been very picky about my choices, and now I have finally found the guitars I've been looking for. After having sorted all the details out, I can say that this guitar will kick your guitar's ass regardless of what you play. And the fact that it is one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever played doesn't hurt either," he adds.
