Maybach X-Wing '76 K Vintage Honey – Angular Korina Solidbody for Heavy Rock

The Maybach X-Wing '76 K Vintage Honey is a handcrafted solidbody electric guitar with the angular, asymmetric X-Wing body inspired by the heavy rock guitars of the 1970s. Its solid korina body shows its natural grain under the Vintage Honey aged nitrocellulose finish and gives the guitar a light, open character.

Body and Finish

The X-Wing is a solidbody without a separate top, so the tone comes straight from the body wood and the glued-in mahogany neck. The aged nitrocellulose lacquer is thin and lets the wood breathe, and the worn look makes every guitar a little different.

• Body: Korina
• Finish: Aged nitrocellulose lacquer

Neck and Fingerboard

The glued-in solid mahogany neck carries a bone nut and Wagner medium-jumbo frets that make bending easy and give clean articulation. The 628 mm scale and 12" radius offer the familiar feel of classic set-neck guitars for both chords and lead playing.

• Neck: Solid mahogany, glued-in (set neck)
• Neck profile: Big C
• Fingerboard: Rosewood, 12" radius, 22 Wagner 9662 medium-jumbo frets
• Inlays: White dot
• Nut: Bone, 43 mm wide
• Scale length: 628 mm

Pickups and Hardware

Maybach fits its guitars with hand-wound Amber pickups that aim for a lively vintage sound: slightly nasal mids, firm bass and silky highs. Gotoh SD-90 Relic tuners and a Tune-o-matic bridge keep the guitar in tune and intonated.

• Pickups: 2 humbuckers, Amber Supernova Custom in the bridge position
• Controls: 2 × volume, 1 × tone, 3-way switch
• Bridge: Tune-o-matic with stopbar tailpiece
• Tuners: Gotoh SD-90 Relic
• Hardware: Nickel
• Included: Maybach gigbag, truss rod wrench, certificate
• Origin: Made in the Czech Republic, final inspection and setup in Germany

Who Is It For

The X-Wing is made for hard rock and heavy players who want a striking stage guitar with vintage construction, set neck and humbucker punch. Its angular shape stands out on stage, while the aged finish gives it the character of an instrument with a long history.

Maybach – Handmade in Europe

Maybach guitars are handmade in Europe: this instrument was built in the Czech Republic, and each guitar receives its final inspection and setup in Germany. The Amber pickups used by Maybach are also available separately or as a set as replacement parts.
