PYC2025 « Excellent guitar »
Published on 09/21/12 at 23:51The sub AX3 is a variation economic sterling AX, which itself affordable versions musicman Axis.
This one is fitted with a vibrato bridge "vintage", pivoting around two supports, height adjustable. My model came with the vibrato on the table, while my other sterling (bin 30) arrived with the floating tremolo mounted.
The handle looks to be mistaken for real musicman, especially since it is painted on the head, just like her big sisters upscale.
It is equipped with 22 frets.
The pickups are two humbuckers, connected to a selector 5 positions. The bridge pickup position are parallel-to-serial bridge, bridge + neck, neck and neck split. It has 3 positions providing access to big sound and a sound typed with two single coil.
It has a volume knob and one tone.
The table is decorated with a picture of Quilted Maple. Despite this detail a bit cheap, the guitar is very well finished, and in fine, she's beautiful.
UTILIZATION
The first contact with this guitar was really good. She arrived correctly set, and the handle is surprisingly close to that of the "real" musicman.
The frets are not as worked, but there is nothing wrong for a guitar of this price.
This guitar is very compact (a nice touch for those who fly ...) and ergonomics are very good. On this side, I prefer slightly silo. It is also very light.
Access to treble is very good. Like other musicman, this guitar is almost too easy to play.
SOUNDS
The sound is good for a guitar of this price. The sound spectrum is very wide, making it a great guitar for access to a lot of music styles.
Of course, it is not a real musicman, but it is far from demerit, especially for a guitar of this price.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it only for 15 days, but I was really surprised by its quality.
I wanted a guitar not too expensive and compact to be able to lug around, but I got much more than that. I still have just a few settings to tweak to lower the strings much as I want, and it will be almost perfect.
The only potential concern for some users is the unvarnished handle. It is very nice, but I'm a little afraid to get dirty.
With experience, yes, I would do this choice.
