Thanks Dan! (i think it's a true ernie ball this time !)

wagner, It certainly appears that way! Good! The color is listed as a Translucent Gold (Amber) and the completion date is 8/22/95. Shipped to High Tech, our French distributor.

Much better!

Hey joiner, looks like what you have there is an Axis Sport in a finish that we called Pearl Purple. It of course has a tremolo and the original EVH/Axis humbuckers, albeit they are all black. The body wood is ash, the neck maple. The date of completion - 9/02/99. It was originally sent to Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center.

Cheers,

Dan

Thanks 5stringer. You don´t know exactly whenthe EVH was shipped do you ??

**5Stringer** · 09-04-2007, 05:54 PM

Looks like it was also invoiced & shipped on 10/13/94. It is possible that it shipped the following day.

Hi everyone,
New to this site... but very grateful it exists. Wondered if anyone can give me some info on my guitar. Think it's an Axis Super Sport. Serial number is A92631. It has a vintage tremelo (and very nice it is too

) and has a rosewood neck. I think it must be some kind of special edition as I've not come across the colour before. It's black (slight gloss finish) with a cream-coloured scratchplate... so in a way it two-tone - the same colours as the humbuckers. Volume and tone controls are black metal with ridged edges for good grip. Like I said... any of your wisdom and expertise would be much appreciated. One final thing... is there a thread about how to go about lowering your guitar's action... especially for beginners?

Howdy Rob, these two fine instruments info is as follows:

Luke 10557 - 01/03/07
Axis SS - 12/30/05 - looks like this was originally a NAMM instrument.

Nice ones -

Oxygen, welcome! Your guitar is actually an Axis Sport - one we used to offer in such a configuration, but we did not take a lot of orders for these. Your guitar was completed on 11/26/97 and was shipped to the U.K.

For setup - make sure you start with the truss rod. For more tips , there are a lot of them here: http://www.ernieball.com/faq_content...ode=mm_guitars

Dan

Thanks
