About this listing
The Mayones Adam Christianson Aquila Cardinal Aged in Cardinal White Aged is a signature masterpiece designed in collaboration with Architects guitarist Adam Christianson and handcrafted in Poland. Combining a heavily vintage-inspired, distressed visual aesthetic with modern boutique performance, this guitar delivers maximum tonal clarity, extreme tuning stability, and effortless playability.
The instrument is built around a resonant American Ash TEW (Tonally Enhanced Wood) body finished in an aged Cardinal White. Its bolt-on construction features a 1-piece Maple TEW neck reinforced with two carbon rods for rock-solid stability and finished in smooth Antique Black Matt. The dark Macassar ebony fingerboard offers a sleek, plain face free of front inlays, framed by SB-20 Super Blue side dots for effortless navigation on dark stages. Fitted with 24 Ferd Wagner stainless steel frets across a 25.4" scale length and a 12" radius, this neck provides a fast, tactile playing surface built for technical rhythm and intricate lead work.
Sonically, the Aquila Cardinal Aged is powered by a boutique Velvetrone 6-string humbucker set—an Ironside in the bridge position paired with a Solium in the neck. Outfitted with sleek black covers and nickel screws, these pickups are wired with a Bourns 500kA volume pot featuring a Mayones Treble Bleed Mod and an Electroswitch 5-way lever selector. This setup offers a versatile range of voicings, from aggressive, high-gain punch to ultra-clean split-coil textures.
The hardware configuration is finished in sleek black, anchored by a Hipshot 6-string fixed bridge and Hipshot GripLock tuning machines. Complemented by a Graph Tech Tusq nut, Switchcraft jack, and Schaller Security Locks, this signature model stands ready for high-level tour and studio duties.
