    It can really vary. I'd be interested if you got a pair for sale. PM me if you want.

    Thanks for working something out radrock! I hope you enjoy your new pups as much as I'm going to enjoy mine.

    Congrats RR on a nice score. I read post about more guys upset that DiMarzio does not produce Axis pups for sale, than any other pup by anyone.

    What did you put in there instead? Did you sell the pups before you put new ones in? I tried changing out the stock pups on my ASS,...big mistake,.....immediately had them put back in.

    I've got a set of Duncan's on the way. I went with a SH-4 for the bridge and a SH-2 in the neck. They will be here Friday. I will try to remember to shoot a before and after vid.

    In my opinion a set of Axis pup's are not an easy item to find anywhere!! What I do (on any guitar I own) is that when I do change out the pups, I always keep the original set (that way I can always return it to its original state if need be.)

    With that said, I LOVE to change out pickups!! I like playing the same guitar, but I love to change amps (6l6 vs el34's) and pickups.

    I am awaiting the day that pickups can just be popped in and out (no soldering, no mess, - just pop them in), standard fit size for all guitars etc. . .

    I just picked up a pair of Axis pups from a guy in Texas. Paid $120 shipped and I feel great. Installed them in my AX40 last night without a problem. They are better than any other humbucker I've ever owned.

    $120 is a good deal. I paid more for the ones I bought from inked. They show up from time to time.

    Speaking of that. My wife came downstairs while I was playing the xbox and asked me what the hell I ordered from Musicians Friend. My 3 y.o. had been messing with my phone and had my email pulled up from MF telling me my pups had shipped.

    After I explained how everything was going down she was cool with it. She's pretty good to have around. I spent like 4-5 grand on equipment last year and all I had to buy her to make her happy was a Coach purse. So I beieve I'll keep her around another 11 years or so.
