MM90s, piezo, interesting color. I don't remember this color being available. Refinish? Maybe something only available in Japan? Or do I just have a bad memory?

 

[Astrofreq]

I remember that. I believe it is original, but a weird color for sure. Piezo is cool though.

 

[DrKev]

I remember that color. Can't remember the name. Late 90's guitar by the look of it.

 

[Astrofreq]

The purple shade was Lavender Pearl. Green Pearl, maybe?

 

[GWDavis28]

Yes it's an original color that was out when Lavender was out as well, like early to mid 2000's I believe.

Not enough sparkle from the looks of the picture, BP.

gremlin green?

It had crossed my mind. Was that the same color as the benji madden silo?

That's Metal Flake Green.

I've seen sports in this green, others I've seen (and they have M90's, although not sure about the piezo): copper, silver, lavendar

Cool. I knew this group would come through with the info. Just thought it was interesting. I'd never seen that color before, at least on an Axis.

I love the fact that BP wasn't even sure, and he's the leader of our people.

 

[DrKev]

...and he's the leader of our people.

Ha!

I love the fact that BP wasn't even sure, and he's the leader of our people.

Yeah, but it's a GREEN color.

 

[GWDavis28]

Yeah, but it's a GREEN color.

Green guitars and basses don't sell, hahahahahahahaha
