Hi there,

Thought I'd also chime in and say "hello - another new member on board". I have been playing since I was a kid, in my 30's now and have had a bad case of GAS for about the last three years. During this time, I have cycled my way through all sorts of strats, LP's, a flying V, some clone style projects etc. and FINALLY: An EB MM Axis. My aim was to consolidate my gear down to this guitar, a strat or tele and a Gibson LP - but something tells me this is the only thing I will take with me to the studio...... I picked it up used from (I think another member) here in Melbourne Australia a couple of weeks ago and have not been able to put it down since.

I love it - the sound, the feel, the look everything. Everyone comments that it sounds incredibly versatile for a guitar with one knob - and it is. You can cover enormous amounts of diverse tones but I find it always retains its own "voice". Which is just superb.

Anyhow, I'm rambling - the reason I found this board was because I am wanting to establish it's date of birth. I used the "search" button here etc. but only came up with other members asking for the same thing. The serial number is 88256.

Cheers all! Victor

How can we tell he's from Oz ?

Or are we adopting BP's comment (I assume he can see where members are from ?),

Where in Australia Louder ??

Thanks Dizzy - I'm in Melbourne (will add this to my profile shortly). Noticed you're in Perth - I spent all week over there with work (sort of an "end of season trip"). Stayed at the Burswood with all those Miss Universe Pagent contestants. I think it's on tonight.

Had a blast over there - great city.

Welcome. I am in a similar situation - been playing longer than I care to recall. On January 7th of this year, I walked into to a Guitar Center and was greeted by a beautiful Axis in translucent red. Wasn't looking for a guitar, but wasn't going home without it!!!!

Long story short - can't put it down and every week I come home from rehearsal astounded at how incredible this guitar sounds and plays.

I am looking for a Luke or Silo Special now

Welcome

And since you're in Melbourne, don't be surprised if Robelinda shows up at your door, ties you up and forces you to play an Albert Lee model.

(he's a bit of a zealot :D )
