Warning – Fake Guitars!

WATCH OUT FOR FAKE MAYONES INSTRUMENTS!

Over the last few months we see an increased activity of companies, mainly from China, offering copies of Mayones instruments on a mass scale. Although we feel proud our hard work is worthy of imitation we feel obliged to warn that your hard-earned money is at risk!

These replicas can be mostly found on popular auction sites among original Mayones guitars and basses offered by official Mayones representatives.

Auctions with counterfeits frequently use Mayones logo, Mayones brand name, Mayones model names, as well as photos, specification lists, and descriptions of original Mayones products. While prices of these instruments seem very tempting, their quality remains a mystery.

We want to assure all Mayones users and followers that genuine Mayones instruments are hand-crafted by our team of skilled luthiers in our facilities in Gdansk, Poland exclusively. It’s always been the core of the top-notch quality Mayones is renowned for.
We do not take any responsibility and we are not liable for mental or physical damage caused by any of those counterfeits. Original Mayones products are available both in stores and on-line through official MayDealers network exclusively.

How do you recognise if new instruments found in the web come from a legal source?

The first warning should be its price. Despite discount policies of our representatives, a value below an equivalent of 1.000 € (approx. 1.100$) is not what you pay for a brand new high quality hand-crafted instrument.

The next thing you should pay attention to is seller’s country and seller’s name. If the listed country or/and company name cannot be found in Dealers section on Mayones’ or Mayones Distributors’ websites, such a product can be likely considered as a counterfeit.

The two above factors should be sufficient to determine whether products you see are genuine. However, if you still have doubts please contact your local MayDealer or Mayones directly for confirmation.
