    Hello everybody

    I've just bought a second hand axis, and I love it!

    but, unfortunately, it misses its original neck plate, the one I bought from don't know when it was removed, it was that way since he bought it from the shop

    so, there is a way I canf find an original one?

    Try to contact customer service but I doubt you can get original neck plate with serial number. From time to time you have some on EBay maybe you can try there

    Can you show us a picture of your current neck plate? maybe that's an original EBMM like the one they used on the sub model (no serial number but with a music man logo) then you don't have to worry about anything

    Another option could be to get this part from Sterling by MM

    I've already contacted the customer shop and they told me they sell neck plate only if you can send back the original one...

    here the pics, strangely, there is a serial no on it

    thrantir-

    As mentioned, EBMM does not sell proprietary parts unless they're a direct replacement. This includes necks, bridges and also neck plates.

    Your best bet is to ask the previous owner for the plate. If it's long gone, you'll have to live without one, or perhaps have one made that's a similar size.

    ^^This!

    Get a small brass plate made up, get it engraved with something personal, then have it chrome plated.

    It'll be functional, look good, and make that axe even more special.

    Do you have any pics of what you have right now at the neck/body joint? And where are you based?

    Or he could get one made out of solid stainless steel and polish it.

    True, and would look great.

    Was just thinking of keeping the chrome theme.
