You must sell my friend - locking trems are gone now the luke trem is more awesome - and I don't use the term lightly!Originally Posted by mr.b
question : do i sell my PBB custom axis to fund the awesomely awesome Emerald Gren flame topped BFR luke i'm about to test drive later this week?
i just know i'm gonna fall in love with it and don't have the pennies to be able to keep the axis - which i also love dearly.
its a tough decision ...

TBH, i don't use my trem much anymore either. I'm not so fussed for them now. i have 2 guitars already that have them so that will suffice.

Difficult call Mr B, that is a tasty Axis you have there
I can certainly recommend the BFR Luke, just feels "right" to me and satisfied the EBMM search I was on.
If you are attached to your Axis you may regret letting it go, so I'd think carefully before taking that step. It was easier for me as I just couldn't quite bond with the Axis as a model, despite trying three times!
And as you say, your Axis is also special, being one of the last of the "Custom Made" ones.
Mind you, the BFR Luke has a "Custom Made" neck plate as well...
Of course the ideal option is to keep the Axis and get a BFR Luke as well, or maybe sell another guitar? Not easy to do and the BFR's are not cheap over here I know.
Good luck!

Starsky! Long time ...
You're right. My axis amazing and it does suit me well. Sadly I can't afford to hold onto it and have a BFR Luke. Reason I'm reckon on letting the axis go is I love the emerald green flamed luke and since they no longer are in production, I'd like to grab I if it suits. I can always get another PBB axis later but probably a hard tail with piezo.
