    Thumbs up 5000 + 5000 = 2

    "Hey Knuckleheads!!!

    This is not Glenn's post. He is doing me a huge favour by posting this for me. I have a new acquisition that I wish to share with my favourite online family! The deal is that I am currently in the middle of what could be a very nasty divorce situation and I do not want my soon to be Ex to know about this purchase. She'll undoubtedly cause a huge problem for me if she knew, not to mention the issues and legalities of money and such. Anyways, I'm doing great! So enough about this issue here. It's not the time nor place for it.

    Who am I you ask? Let's just say I have a whole LOT of Music Man pictures that I love sharing with the forum! It is important to know, that and I will not personally respond in this thread and I ask that you NOT to mention my name in this thread as my Ex could be trolling these forums for info.

    Now down to business!!!! I've had a couple days to play around with this guitar and I must say this is an awesome beast!!!! My first impression upon receiving my FedEx box was that the entire package was uber light and further confirm when first holding the guitar. Unplugged, you can feel that tone block working it's magic. EBMMs are always super resonant and yes, sustain for days; however the 25th takes the cake!!! The neck is great!!!! It's similar to the Silhouette, yes but wider as mentioned in many other reviews. It's a welcomed spacing. Now the tonal arsenal is just great! Now I don't have any experience with the Axis first hand, but my ears tell me it's all there plus some! The new pickup options give out some very interesting sounds. I leave describing them to your own ears. The best description I could give when playing the cleans is that I would say they sound a little like an Ovation acoustic.

    Once again, pic never do these guitars justice. I did my best, but in the end you just have to see these in person. They're just beautiful. Anyways, enough rambling. This guitar is a work of art and I feel so fortunate to get one of these!!! Thanks to all who created this baby!! This could quite easily become my new No.1.

    I wondered the same thing, but I don't think you can search for a particular image of a particular guitar unless it's somehow named in the title of the thread or in the body of a message.

    trussrod adjustment:
    Click here for an image!
    less relief / flatter = lower action
    more relief / bow = higher action
    do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
    also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!

    Awesome axe mate. Though I am at a loss at the cryptic fashion in which the thread title was created.
