Guitar-made in San Luis Obispo, CA, United States.
Maple neck-"full of birdseye" maple table Flamée.
There is no such axis 2! The tables are sometimes dappled, mine is "tiger" and the top coat, looks like crushed velvet.
Vibrato Musicman-licensed Floyd Rose, a model of its kind, impossible to tune. Mine arrived granted after 3 weeks and then transit the United States. Schaller classic pearl / translucent "on Les Paul."
Di Marzio pickups -2 Van Halen (available on the Axis and Van Halen) 1 volume knob 500k, 3 position selector switch.
UTILIZATION
It is rather round and round little broad, slightly skewed from the 12 ° box, comfortable even for large hands. The frets are small, we feel the handle in its acute doigts.Accès to normal, the heel is a little section like all the Musicman.
-The body is small, light. It's a cross (pass) between a Les Paul is a Telecaster (sic Eddie Van Halen), however there is no chamfer for the right arm, which can be a little annoying if you play long
The volume-knob is well placed under the little finger, and effective: I often take me ... even have to change channels, I just drop the volume, and presto, clean sound.
A black dot-cons in the selector: it is microscopic, hard and not very well placed, as knob volume. Specifically, on a solo, you can not change too much micro-"on the fly" by slapping the switch, like on a Start for example.
-Ben for her, no problem, it sounds live and loud! We have a real serious micro (handle) that is on a par with the micro acute power issue. NOTE: The pickups are screwed directly on the body, so no plastic, no settings and no problems, because they are already calibrated to the hair!
7 because of the selector and the muzzle
SOUNDS
-I play more rock, but I need to have the reserve on hand for occasional very large saturation and sounds very clean.
-I play a Mesa Studio Preamp Roland plugged into an amp, no effect in most cases. Since I record a lot, I have some basic sounds clean, I put effects on the console unless I need something really weird.
-At the sound, I would say it's a modern, bright, forward, fairly medium. You want to attack right away, it's harder to play "laid back" like on a Start. The sound will never be "dug". However, serious playing micro / volume down, it can sound downright jazzy approach that render well the subtleties of the game is a position intermediate its off phase, it seems to play on a TV with 2 microphones simple! Slamming it with less power. Fonk play on this guitar is the foot! Otherwise, the stability of vibrato and harmonics "easy" make you want to make dive-bomb all the time!
The micro acute: full, aggressive, lively, full of harmonics, perfect for solos, good Di Marzio (as some would say garish), it is fire!
For me, this is super typical scratches, can play lots of styles, personally it is with the guitar that I change her, thanks to its dynamic, and more with the amp, and the volume knob becomes part of the game in itself.
8 because I have still want to buy more guitars! lol
OVERALL OPINION
In the words of an earlier opinion, the Axis is the "third way" after the Start and Les Paul! She look fantastic and friendly, it's the first thing that had accroché.Et then we may say, is nothing less than the Musicman Van Halen, and it shows: it is robust, reliable, simple, straightforward, designed to resist the wild Eddie! The only difference is this switch is not misplaced a good idea, but it's still a detail throughout.
HOWEVER the Axis is available in Europe at a price exorbitant completely unjustified: between 2400 and 2700 euros, which is a heresy. It is often proposed in the United States around 1100 euros to the new current exchange rate, and I got there in occas' good condition for 850 euros, excluding postage.
