    Cool My 2001 Pearl Blue ASS Has a Unique Neck!

    I always thought that my '01 Pearl Blue ASS was unique and last week I found out that it was actually one of about 125 GC exclusive Pearl Blue Axis guitars produced as a limited run in 2001. In addition, I found out that the neck was also unique. I suspected that the neck on this ASS was a bit thinner than my other ASSes and Axis guitars but, a conversation with a fellow knucklehead confirmed it (since he had the same exact guitar - same production date 9/21/2001 and everything). I took some comparison pictures just to show everyone how the neck on this guitar is thinner than the necks on my other ASSes (not a huge difference but a noticeable one) - even the headstock is a bit thinner! I always thought that this guitar was pretty cool and I always loved how it felt but now, it's super cool!

    To me, there really isn't a tone difference. There's just a slight feel and playability difference but you do feel it the moment you hold this awesome neck.

    With this thread, I was hoping to find out some more info about these unique guitars and to see who else has them (I only know of one other ASS and one Axis).

    Thank you bro! That's the last time Smelly is getting me to vote for a one-off sparkle guitar! - Still love you Smelly

    Hey, I think that when you have something unique/different, why not share and talk about it. I'm not complaining about the neck difference just think it's pretty cool and wanted to know more about it.

    If you can put down your tape measure a group shot is defiantly needed.
