    Wow....there's a switch. Very different. Neck is a different carve, body is poplar with very different pickups. You can get it with a floyd. Very nice guitar, but very different.
    8/17/04 EBMM Axis SS MM90 trans blue (spaceball 3000)
    7/29/04 EBMM Sub1 X11376 oil/wax neck, gloss black body, faux binding, HSS w/5 way and silent circuit
    07 Albert Lee SSS Black Cherry Burst
    buncha non-ebmm guitars
    keep in mind that you are talking about four pieces of wood two pots one switch a trem along with springs two pickups and some wire.....BP

    I'll echo what I said in the other thread that while the Y2D is very different from the Axis, it is still a great and versatile guitar. It would definitely give you some different tonal options to compliment the Axis.

    tone wise, different low-end feeling (tight but not so massiv as with basswood bodies), the mids are very "in your face"....the nutwide is the same as on the axis, the back contour is not offset shape and the "neck to fretboard" edge feels not so smooth, it´s more "edgy" i would say.
    but overall it is an awesome guitar! my bandmates always say the Y2D is my best sounding guitar i have.....not more to say.

    If you were to buy a used EBMM/EVH with worn frets for $2k, you could have it re-fretted with stainless steel frets, and replace the pot with a low-friction pot, and still spend less money than on the new EVH.

    Here's some info, click the link, then go to page 6 of these reviews (at the bottom). In the same issue they reviewed the EVH and the Axis 25th - the 25th won in this case. If it were me, I'd be all over the 25th or a Reflex! Good hunting!
