Custom ordered an axis super sport hard tail today

[billpepper82]

I wont actually get it till March. So has anyone else had to do this? They said it had to be a custom order bc I wanted a hard tail and non painted headstock. OH and I got it tobacco burst.

First off, congratulations. That's awesome and welcome to the forum. Tobacco burst on the Axis looks fantastic.

On the custom order/wait question -- many of us have waited patiently for our guitars. My first MM guitar was an Axis Super Sport that I ordered through a dealer and had to wait several months for it to be built. It's a hard wait but so worth it to get what you want. In general, if the color/bridge/headstock/pickup combo that you're looking for isn't in stock at a dealer then you'll have to wait to have it built.

The good news is that when you order your second, third, fourth....MM guitar the wait gets a bit easier in that you have one or more awesome guitars to play until the new guitar shows up

Congrats again.

Congrats, thats a sweet Axis Super Sport you ordered, maple or rosewood frtboard??

Yep waiting can be tough but worth it to get what you want, my only problem is I tend o buy one or two waiting on it

Pickup a Sterling while you wait, good guitars for the money!

Nice. Tobacco burst is one of the greatest finishes ever.

Yep, my first MM was an Olive-Gold luke with non-matched headstock, and I'm waiting for my Roasted Reflex as we speak...It gets (a little) easier after the first one.

Congrats Better to wait to get what you want than spend the $$$ and always wish you had ordered exactly what you want. The wait will be long but well worth it.

Nice! Tobacco burst, hardtail and a maple board. Great combo! That's gonna be a smokin' fiddle. Congrats bill!

Tobacco burst? Hard-tail? Maple?

Cool. It's worth the wait. I ordered my first Super Sport several years ago - despite having little to no play time with one and no idea how it would sound through an amp I also ordered sight unseen (Z-28 from Dr Z). One of the best decisions I ever made. Congrats

cheers always, eh

congrats that's a nice choice you did

I also ordered a hardtail Axis Super Sport and my wait time was about 3 months. You can ask your dealer what the estimated wait time will be.

Congrats man. Great choice and my favourite finish as well.

 

[peterd79]

congrats and welcome...

i think my favorite (yes Jeff this is the correct way to spell it ) color is the tobacco burst on the ASS... i love the tops when they get all crazy with flame or quilt and just pop with that finish...

should we start to fuel the fire by posting pics? LOL

Without a doubt the waiting is the hardest part. Hey that sounds like a good title for a song. That is what Tom Petty must of been singing about when writing it,

Jamie I seriously am waiting to see how your RM.BS Reflex turns out as it is going to kill. I also doubt that their will be that many of them
