Lew,

Exactly! Your Silhouette in White with a maple neck and white pickguard was born on 15 March, 2005 in the factory in San Luis Obispo, CA and was originally sold to Kanda Shokai, our distributor for Japan.

Enjoy!
-Beth :)

More than close, as Beth stated - but you said your guitar was a Luke and we are showing that serial number coming up as a Silhouette - I checked the serial number G27628 and I came up with a Rolls Burgundy Luke shipped to the UK and that was built on March 8, 2005. I think this is your guitar.

Skoor, your gutars are as follows:

Your Sunburst (now referred to as Honeyburst) EVH was completed on 12/13/1994 and shipped to the now-defunct Abneys Music Center in Orlando.

Your Axis SuperSport with piezo in Translucent Gold was completed on 3/8/2000 and was shipped to Iceland.

Nice ... :cool:

Hey joiner, looks like what you have there is an Axis Sport in a finish that we called Pearl Purple. It of course has a tremolo and the original EVH/Axis humbuckers, albeit they are all black. The body wood is ash, the neck maple. The date of completion - 9/02/99. It was originally sent to Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center.

Cheers,

Dan

Hi everyone,
New to this site... but very grateful it exists. Wondered if anyone can give me some info on my guitar. Think it's an Axis Super Sport. Serial number is A92631. It has a vintage tremelo (and very nice it is too:)) and has a rosewood neck. I think it must be some kind of special edition as I've not come across the colour before. It's black (slight gloss finish) with a cream-coloured scratchplate... so in a way it two-tone - the same colours as the humbuckers. Volume and tone controls are black metal with ridged edges for good grip. Like I said... any of your wisdom and expertise would be much appreciated. One final thing... is there a thread about how to go about lowering your guitar's action... especially for beginners?

Oxygen, welcome! Your guitar is actually an Axis Sport - one we used to offer in such a configuration, but we did not take a lot of orders for these. Your guitar was completed on 11/26/97 and was shipped to the U.K.

For setup - make sure you start with the truss rod. For more tips , there are a lot of them here: http://www.ernieball.com/faq_content.php?subjectcode=mm_guitars
