UTILIZATION

The guitar is trslgre it pse just over 3 pounds, a real lightweight, while its small size makes it an instrument for the petite framed IDAL. Question comfort is excellent and even if there is no groove for the forearm, the grip is good and trs you feel immediately comfortable.
Ds Premire notes, one is struck by the incredible ease of the handle. It is round, super ergonomic, it's all simple plans that did not happen on other guitars go on it, play with ease dconcertante. Trs important point: if the sleeves are exceptional music man, they have very specific profiles. I tried a dj with Luke unmanche V, a surprise to beginners. The handle is round but assymtrique, though curled up, and thinner towards the treble.
The rest is also good trs, the change of micro ais is the knobs are situs and do not crachotent.
Until the short is worth a 10 except when the vibrato is not the same height from the rest, and will not be limited that some sporadic use (Floyd freaks refrain) under penalty of disagreement guitar, even if the mcaniques are blocking. In addition to the vibrato is that "pitch down", we can not pull up, it's not Gnant in itself, but a more restricted use.

SOUNDS

A vacuum of an Axis possde rsonnance and impressive clarity, we feel that the quality is good and with the microphone is close to perfection.
The sounds cover a wide range, this guitar is super versatile, everything goes perfectly both the violin and the pickups are excellent. This guitar is meant (according to the positions of slecteur) a stratum shuffled, and Les Paul Tl. Both say now we do not find the grain of these guitars, but are close and rsultats covaicants.
Specially mention the Tone knob of trs effective in suppressing acute and really plays a rle in getting the sound.
In short, in a word, sounds trs trs versatile and beautiful.

OVERALL OPINION

A little quick review:

Most:

Lutherie-trs trs upscale and good microphones
Guitar trs-compact (weight, height)
Comfort and great-great race
Tone-biting, trs prcises

The -:

Guitar multi-tural personalitbr so no />-Bridge and vibrato a little behind the rest

But I must admit that this is the best of me scratch that given t test, and yet I have tried many dj: Jackson made in Japan, Lag Rockline, ESP MII, Vigier Excalibur, Gibson Les Paul.

If I had the other one I comprare possde, it would be the Excalibur, which shares with the Axis more common: a violin gniale, a fantastic race, a concept of "Super Start" trs successful, a range of sound quality and wide trs.

Still, the Axis Sport (in frne) is less common to find that his two sisters and Axis Axis Super Sport (basswood), and fairly priced RSDLP consquent (> 2000). Nanmoins of OCCAZ 'is found less than 1000, and is an excellent compromise!
