    That guitar was sold on 4-23. DCGL keeps the pics up for a few days after they sell a guitar.

    Did a forumite buy it?

    I'm a big fan of natural finishes too. I was so psyched to have scored my rosewood ASS. I love that thing.

    This DrumCity Axis is pretty unique looking.

    Friend of mine owns it I think

    A friend of mine bought one just like this in the summer. He played my Axis SS and decided he needed an Axis, dealer told him this was the only natural with this neck, seen others though. Great guitar, sounds and plays as good as it looks. Plays it in church every week.

    Absolutely superb. I really like the natural tops. I’m mostly a fan of maple necks but that rosewood look great as well.

    Found out who owns it...

    Revolution Opener on Vimeo

    Matched up the serial number Sunday. Friend of mine plays it in church every week. He works in a music store & gives lessons & is very good. Loves this bfr...the neck is great. On this video jump in about 7 minutes to see the guitar. We need to put the video of him playing summer song by Satriani in church last week, it was good.

    Nice to see, thanks for the post.

    I could hit myself for passing on a Natural for a T-Blue 3 years ago.

    Nattys

    Gotta love the nattys, especially the natty Axis. Very nice guitar. It looks great under the stage lighting as well.

    I have a Natty flame top Axis that I grabbed the minute I plugged in. Never saw one with a rosewood board but now that I have personally I like it better!
