    Some have more figure than others, to be sure... but I don't think I'd complain abuot a lack of birds-eye if I had flame like that!!

    I've got a couple Sports with very plain necks, and others with loads of birds-eye; me thinks it's a bit of a crap-shoot...
    All your Axis are belong to me!

    The flame on that neck is not particularly good.

    That is a stunning guitar. I've posted before complaining about my EVH not having many birdseyes in the neck - however, I always remind myself, I have an owned from new EVH that plays and sounds like a dream - I'm pretty happy about that regardless of how the neck looks

    i can dig that !!!!
    i got a 90 morse w/ minimal figure neck.....and it is the best sounding one i've ever played......

    they all sound great though........
    after owning and playing so many at this point...... i never worry about how an ebmm is gonna sound before i buy one.....

    Do you tend to get a more fugured neck if you opt for the premium top? My new Axis has loooooads of figuring (reminder: sort out photos)
