Maybe a stupid question Dan but Ill ask anyways. Why did EBMM put the serial # on a removeable plate instead of the wood itself???

No matter where you put a serial number, it can be removed or lost or altered. Originally we put them on the back of the headstock, but then if you exchanged necks then that was out. On the body is a possibility, but where without compromising the finish? The neck plate is easy to see. It just seemed the most logical to us - it is usually not a problem.

OK! Nice to have the right numbers! ;)

This Axis Sport SSS with tremolo has a Trans Gold finish, maple neck, and was completed on 1/29/98. Originally shipped to Royal Music Center in Brooklyn.
