Found this Axis on CL for cheeeep & picked it up this weekend from a sound engineer at his studio. According to him, it's one of the early production Axis right after Ernie Ball stopped making the EVH model. As seen it the pic, the back of the neck has a nice configuration.

Hey T, that’s a great top. Welcome to the forum.
Swapped one of my PRSi for this beauty. A stylistic leap for me, im mostly a dad rocker / unemployed blues lawer - but im an enthusiastic if ham fingered wannabe shredder.
Took me a while to warm up to - Ebony / neck through / stainless ticks some major boxes for me, but the popsicle neck and modern voiced pickups not so much.
I have found that adding some smiley face eq post amp block in my Amplifire has added more character to the pickups, making them sound better for the low gain stuff i play. Shredding wise of course its the most articulate and detailed guitar i have played. I have researched replacing pickups on the Majesty, and it seems that doing it where the 4 pickup wires are soldered to the pcb is the best method - scary though.
It has insane sustain for a trem guitar - as good as the best hardtails. Guessing the neck through is responsible.
The trem is the best i have ever used. Im more about shimmer than dive bombs, and with 10-52's the trem feels just right. I will probably add a piston type trem stopper for more stability after big left hand bends.
Also "best ever" is the setup quality and playablity. The metal guy i got it from had the action at 1.2mm, and no buzzes - i raised it to about 1.8mm for my dad rock styles.
Wish the coil tap applied to the 1 and 3 positions - but i see that JP simply doesn't use single coils. The tapped 2 postition gives a nice variety of tone however.
This could just be a "sell all my other guitars apart from the strat and play this one for the rest of my life" - if i can get used to the skinny neck.

That's really cool.
My First Music Man Guitar
I really liked the specs of this guitar and have been looking at this specific model and color for about a year. I pulled the trigger a few weeks ago knowing they were not going to make this guitar anymore. The gloss front, satin finish back and neck is just awesome and I think it makes this guitar just a little bit extra special.
