Me too. I might sell my others and go for a 25th with trem.

I remember them saying earlier in the development process that they were going to make a different neck for it. The prototypes were mocked up with an Axis neck.

The Silo neck is still really comfortable. Not that far from an Axis neck. With a 12 inch radius, it'll just be a tad wider and flatter.

It's the back of the axis neck that makes it the most wonderful neck in the whole world....anyone else agree with me???? i could live with it being a tiny bit wider.

This has just put me back in the ball-park for a 25th !

I love the Silo neck, but I also love the chunkiness of the Axis neck.
So anywhere in between is going to be great.
It's too late. I already love the guitar. There's no turning back!

JEffrey are you a dealer still? MIght want to zip the critique and the rallying for your personal preferences. Please play it. If you dont like it, fine there is still the axis....

But since you keep asking....

As I've said about a dozen times we could re package an existing guitar and call picking a color research and development like the oher big guys do....or we could design a guitar that celebrates our past present and future...This guitar pays tribute to the most successful guitar in that it is an Axis based shape.....But we get to revisit the Axis and really tweak it to where we think it should be roughly15 years laer....then we lood at the first guitar we made the SILHOUETTE and we use a variation of that neck as it is the most classic shape we make then we utilize the tone block as it our most recent fabulous valid innovation and for the future we add twice as many tonal settings with a really neat switching system and a innovative chambering that I call the "resonance rout"
as the forward moving component. The proof is in the pudding but I think that we blended who we were, are, and might become in thhis offering.

Hey Poppa..please don't be upset with me...

I'm SO excited about this new guitar and i apologize if my enthusiasm for the Axis neck being the most perfect neck out of the thousands of guitars I have played seemed anything but genuine! Also, it wasn't MY personal preference..it's the preference of EVERY axis buyer that I have ever talked to!

Yes...and the proof of me being one of the biggest fans of your instruments lie in our store's EBMM sales since I came on board there. I would bet they have increased over 1000%!!! All I was asking for was the thinking behind it....that way I'll be able to answer EBMM's customers' questions and speak intelligently about the new products.

Fanboi

heheheh

Im not upset...I just think that dealers should know the mindset that we go through with all of this stuff and talk to their rep before rallying for something in public that has already been decided and without trying it first....

This should be interesting... 12"... Hmm...

Don't you know that the dealers are the last to find out about everything?

I'm on board with you, Pops...

my apologies...i was a knucklehead before I was a dealer....once a knuck,always a knuck......

Yes, and so is the Morse. I just checked on the website. The Pets are 15", and all the other guitars are 10". 12" seems like a nice compromise between the shredding neck of the Pet and the vintage Axis and Silos.
