New Bones ate Arfa Signature X Bass
Weβre excited to announce a limited run of five X Basses, created in collaboration with Arthur Wilson of Bones Ate Arfa.
Following the success of Arthurβs custom X Bass built in June 2025, Maybury Guitars and Wilson teamed up to design a more accessible version that keeps the originalβs look, feel, and powerful tone. Each bass features the same finish and body shape, premium electronics, and the Kent Armstrong Claymore Soapbar pickup for Arthurβs signature sound..
Arthur Wilson shared his excitement about the collaboration:
βMaybury understood exactly what I needed with the originalβsomething that hits hard, feels fast, and cuts through without losing weight. This signature run is amazingly close to the original, and Iβm really excited to have my first signature bass.β
Maybury Guitars added:
βArthur brought a clear sonic vision and a deep understanding of his instrument. Working with him pushed us creatively, and weβre proud to bring this signature model to life.β
The Arthur Wilson Signature Bass will be produced to order, on a firstβcome, firstβserved basis. for more information or to reserve and order click below

Made in the UK
I asked Jason to make one of his Saguaro guitars for me.
Throughout the process Jason contacted me regularly to make sure I was happy with every step of the procedure.
The end result is a guitar of the highest standard,Itβs absolutely sublime!
If youβre thinking of commissioning a luthier to build a guitar for you, then Iβd highly recommend giving Jason a shout.
Youβll end up with a very special guitar and youβll be surprised at just how affordable it is!
I have a Les Paul which was double the cost of Jasonβs Saguaro and I can assure you the Saguaro is the superior guitar!
Donβt waste your money on American mass manufacturing when you can have something special made here in the UK!
Without a doubt Iβll be asking Jason to build me another guitar in the future.
If youβre considering it donβt hesitate!

Amazing company. Great guitars.
I honestly cannot recommend Maybury Guitars enough. I ordered a Reclaimed Fish Hook fitted with hand-wound PAF Sunbear pickups. Jason has been amazing with communication, sending me plenty of photos throughout the build and involving me at every step of the process. Most importantly, though, their guitars sound incredible and are built to an exceptionally high standard. Do not hesitate.
