    Trans Gold or Orange

    Bit confused? My new Axis is either Trans Gold or Orange but its quite yellow and not orange as I expected - are there two different colours available - how do I know if its actually gold or orange or a faded version of one or the other? Thanks. The headstock looks like its natural? Should it not match the body? Thanks

    If you give us the serial number, we can look it up and tell you the original color. A matching headstock is an available upgrade option.

    I too thought there was only one shade of 'amber' but as the pictures show below, there seems to me two! My guitar is yellow, and Mikes guitar is more orange amber.

    Aziah,

    I assume you have to take the upgrade option when you purchasev/order the guitar and its not something you can have done or replaced further down the road?

    Hey Knox, post some pics of all your guitars. I'd like to see some of the custom ones.
