Olp MM1F AxisPublished on 03/07/09 at 03:13
(This content has been automatically translated from French)
This is a PLO Axis MM1 or F, the PLO Axis with Floyd produced in Asia, little or sold in France for a pittance. The quality is superior to other axis of the mark PLO, as the basswood body gets a real maple top, beautiful! Part lime and made a number of room, the original floyd is correct, the microphones cheap and very rough. The handle is the real weak point, because lack of density (it sounds when you tap on it).

I made the leap to upgrade ...

She has a new tiger maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and profile EVH course, di Marzio evolution bridge, 2 lace sensors (blue and silver), a new schaller floyd, and a switch to select blue or silver in ls position single coil.

She has a new tiger maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and profile EVH course, di Marzio evolution bridge, 2 lace sensors (blue and silver), a new schaller floyd, and a switch to select blue or silver in ls position single coil.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, since custom-made by luthier Robert Patrick. We find the famous profile of Axis EVH original, what was not originally on the PLO.
For the comfort and access to acute musicman cf. The Schaller is very good and convenient (you can keep the bar more or less strongly according to his personal adjustment).

The volume buttons and switches are already poorly positioned on the real EBMM Axis ... Done with it.

Most from its big sister, is getting high for vibrato, which can therefore be used in both directions.

SOUNDS

With a floyd and a basswood body, it's not really a guitar for the blues. And for once, I have everything I need for rock and blues! When I brought my project to my maker, I had in mind people like N'guyen Lê, Jeff Beck, Steve Lukather, Satch ... In short I wanted a guitar "shred +", although "non-shredder", capable of a sufficient dose of heat to be played directly into the amp. It perfectly meets my expectations, the evolution is really fantastic, but it lacks a little something with lace sensor (but I had noticed on other guitars).
I must say that the guitar has an absolutely stunning projection empty! It has body solo with evolution, a little less good on rhythmic rock (it's specific to that microphone) but it is quite amazing once split!

OVERALL OPINION

Mission accomplished. The basic guitar is not exceptional, outside an incredible value for money for less than 300 euros. All operations, including a new and more polish (not required) to the back of the cabinet, led me to a guitar around 1200 euros. And she is worth.
I got the expected result with the budget I had, through my experiences. With another budget, I opted for the creation of an alder body with maple veneer. For later, maybe ...

Know that the change of pickups will not change the substance of this guitar. His weak point is the handle. If you are looking to create a crossover of Luke and the axis, with a router to actually use the floyd, the investment in a handle and a few microphones worth it: it works!

EDIT
Well, with hindsight, it is still not clear in her famous. It is not thought to that and amps but not the references, but my other graters that are doing better on that. It is not extraordinary plugée in Marshall, for cons, it gives me better results than other pluguée Blackstar HT5 in my or my HT Dual. Exactly what I needed for what I am trying to save.
