B'z Tak Matsumoto's Lost Pink Axis

[kimonostereo]

I thought I'd share this story since it involves an EBMM Axis. Tak Matsumoto of the Japan Rock group B'z had a bunch of Axis guitars that he used in the 90's and one went missing. It was a pink Axis with a custom headstock, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's an NOS EVH with a custom headstock graphic from EBMM. Turns out it was actually in storage all along. LOL

Very cool.

Is it bad that my first thought was that my Pink Axis has a nicer top than his (IMHO)? LOL!

Definitely sounds like a " lost in the shuffle " scenario. When you've got that many guitars, and that many storage places, it can take quite a while before something is missed. Glad he got it back. Hopefully it goes back into the rotation.
