"In the hardcase it looks very quiet and peaceful, but when you open it and plug it to amp - the beast is released! Powerful, precise, screaming tone on distortion and smooth, volumetric (Atmospheric) on clean channel. Every note sound very clear and gets inside the brain. Great sustain, no noise and feedback. We just stepped into the higher level of sounds. Long live Mayones!", comments Art.
