The body would be southern ash, and the neck should be maple.

    Nice piece I bet! Arf!

    Thanks for the info Dan. It is a beauty, I knew I had to have it the minute I saw it.

    Dizzy, welcome!

    Your Axis in trans gold was completed on 11/1/02. It was originally shipped to our distributor in Hong Kong.

    DOB Please on the New (old) Axis Sport I just got today. It is Silver, with the 2- P90's, and looks 99% new, with the beautiful original case. It was originally bought Nov. 1999. The S/N is G05660.

    All I can say is wow! A professional quality instrument, better than I deserve, but, I got it for a good price (I hope..). I only needed to raise the action just a tad, to stop light buzzing, but it is still lower action than my Tele. Plays great.

    Anyway, I am new to this forum.

    PS - Is the noise reduction in all pickup positions, or only the middle one? It seems very quiet (no buzzing) in all switch positions.

    Thanks,

    VW

    Hey Robelinda (is Rob ok ?),
    Yep, another Aussie here - in Perth.

    LOL at the Ibanez comment..........
    But I must admit I still love my original JS1.

    Quick summary of my 3 Favourites :

    ESP Eclipse II = Top Fuel Drag Car
    Ibanez JS1 = Porsche (albeit Japanese !?)

    EBMM Axis = Porsche with Top Fuel Engine !!!

    I wish I had a JS model with a stop tail bridge, its was the JS6 or something?? Totally over the recessed floyds. Used to own a JS100 and JS1000 years ago. love the satch tone, and boy did those guitars have it!!!!! would like to get a JS2000 with the fixed bridge, but dont see em very often on ebay in Oz.

    I Completely agree.
    The satch tone is exclusive, but the recessed Floyd gives more grief than glory.
    Anyways, back to EBMM's - - - - - - - -
    Can't stop looking at the new Axis - just love it.
