The new Solero model is a beauty to behold. The light coloured overall aesthetics are serene and clean. The sound is clear and complex. Despite the clear highs, the sound is still warm and it has a dry, earthy undertone. The Solero responds fantastically to complex chord voicing, the mids have a lot of punch and stay clean and present.
The latest developments and quality improvements have all been implemented in the Solero: Satin finished neck for perfect playability, Tusq nut and saddle for improved overtones and richness in sound, ebony fingerboard and bridge for an even faster response and more presence. Gotoh made machine heads, designed by Mayson.
The new Fishman Flex Plus pickup has discrete controls mounted on the side for volume, treble and bass. The battery access is easily mounted in the lower bout.
Includes a deluxe gig bag.
MAYSON GUITARS
What if one could change guitar-making concepts, concepts recognised for over 150 years by thousands of luthiers and players? For what seems perfect today can be better tomorrow. However, to improve tomorrow we need to recognise our past and adapt today.
Guitar-making concepts to this day largely remain determined by the evolution of the flattop acoustic which began in the late 1800’s. Whilst remaining loyal to this legacy, Mayson have re-considered every aspect of the process, mindful of the possibilities of todays technology. Mayson bring this ’NASA meets Stradivarius’ approach all the way back to the designing table, re-inventing each part of the acoustic guitar.
SMART CONCEPTS
Head designer Alex Wang worked on the Mayson philosophy for years before the production line came to life. He re-invented the acoustic guitar, combining the soul of old fashioned luthier skills with the accuracy and consistency of modern hi-tech machinery. From changes as simple as embedding the machine head plates into the headstock - eliminating the possibility of sideways rotation as result of string tension, to redesigning the neck-body joint allowing better resonance of the top as well as a more stable fingerboard, Mayson guitars are made by use of visible and non-visible technical concepts that greatly improve sound, stability, strength and aesthetics.
