Rare Axis Versions

[Ventanaman]

Les, Hahahahahahaha, this is really up Jeff's alley, he's the lover of the Axis. Hard tail Axis are rare your right about that. As far as colors and one offs, hmmm, I'll have to think/search.

I always feel the HSS and SSS Axis Sports to rare and sometimes a super deal.

Looks like Jeff's page is still flash based, it doesn't seem to want to let me view anything, he's got tons of them.

I'll post more when I come across them.

P.S. It doesn't exist without pictures!!!!!!

Here is my 2014 Neptune blue PDN Axis. As far as I know only 2 were made in the BFR quilt package...

I’ve commented on your Axis before Greg but I’ll say it again…I think that’s my favorite one that I’ve ever laid eyes on!

Music Man really started killing it with the blue colors about 7 or 8 years ago. Neptune blue BFRs, Blueberry Burst on the Lukes, that Aqua Blue quilt on the Axis BFRs, Balboa blue, now the Yucatan blue on the 2021 Axis. Blue is my favorite color, so I’m definitely biased but still…

I love the Axis guitar. The body shape is what works for me. Long before the Axis, there was the Gretsch Beast that I once owned in '79. The body was almost identical.

The Axis is my favorite body style. Thanks for mentioning the Gretch. I had no idea. You’re right, they are almost identical.

Fairly new, Vault special, pretty sure I did a NGD, just one of the ones that I am letting go of, retirement is more desirable than a guitar collection

Not saying this is "rare" .. but I picked up the rosewood top/neck one for $1600 recently.

I had one with tremolo and piezo. Stolen right from my apartment. It sounded and played great!

With hindsight the Axis isn't quite the instrument for me, and I don't own one anymore. But they're still fantastic.
I'd like an Axis MEGA Sport with forearm cutaway and larger frets one day. It's been AGES since the model got revisited at all. I love how compact the body shape is.

Pott, I bought it so I would have a guitar with humbuckers, but frankly hated the stock ones and replaced them with Duncan SH-2s … it’s like a lightweight Les Paul now! I don’t play it too often, but when I do, it’s a pleasure. I wish it did not have the pressure ding near the switch (not sure what else to call it, it looks like what we call a pressure ding on a surfboard). Oh well, an identifying scar!

you can get it if not 100% repaired but touched up so it is way less visible.
