Anyone have an Axis Sport?

... That they want to sell? Preferably HH or HSS, unless someone can tell me what the 90's are like

I guess you could say I have GAS for one

The MM90 are great.The closest thing to compare them to is a hot tele. The bridge has good top end clarity but thicker than a strat single coil.The neck is warm and clear great for bluesy soloing ,mellow comping, or jazzy type lines with tone knob backed off a bit. I think the key to getting the most out of mm90 gtrs is using the tone knob.
Good luck I've been looking for a sss axis sport for a while but none have popped up here or ebay in awhile

I had an HSS and it was very nice. I just prefer the Silo Special neck, feel and sound.

The Axis MM90 is the modern tele. more twang with noiseless pups

check it out .

I own both ...a '72 Telecaster and a black sparkle Axis MM90 !!!

They ain't cheap ... but Royal Music in NYC has a ton of old Sports. A few HSS, a few SSS' as well.

Hey SUB1ZERO fella

Boy Oldigs is quite right about that the Axis Sport MM90 is the modern Tele (lotsa twang-thang), although for me it goes from the twangy side alwost the way to sort of a little Pawla with P90s when you take the tone pot back a little.

I absolutely love mine, and hey - in case you should really dislike the MM90s (which I strongly doubt), you can easily change to DiMarzio's hummies in P90 housings if needed...

GREAT axe, the Axis Sport !!!

Axis Sports are the best, sweet EBMM's they are. Sorry mines not for sale, I love it too much.

Though a SSH non-pg would be sweet, there's a dude in europe that has one.

Good luck in your search, check Craigslist or EvilBay they are always on there.

Thanks guys! After the silo, a sport is next in line. I just have to have one and I can't explain why. I'm loving the hardtail model with pickguard. Remember that one that had Albert Lee's signature on it? PERFECT

 

[GWDavis28]

Here is one, don't know if it's still available, but can't hurt to check.

Candid, yah but the one I'm talking about never had a PG on it, some of the ones that went to Europe ended up like this, they look so awesome.

Yup. I posted my old one just for general purpose. I personally like the PG on them, look rather too plain without them, unless they have a trans finish. Mine was originally red and the owner before me had it finished in black. I liked it but wasn't crazy about it, like I am with mah blue finished rosewood board Silo. There's a little behind the scenes mojo in that thing, which I'm grateful to EB for.

I have one... It's for sale for 1.000.000 dollars... (that's shipping included, hell, I'll even deliver it personally!)

Hey, it's signed by Big Poppa and his dad himself!! These things don't come cheap!!

Seriously: good luck on your search, they show up every once in a while, keep your eyes open!

 

[beej]

That one is just so damn cool.

 

[GWDavis28]

Here's what I'm talking about, this thing just looks soo right!!!!

that was my guitar.its was originally Dave B's then steveH then mine and I sold it to a local musician who went gaga for it.He gigs the black HSS Sport and his Silo special every w/end.He offered to buy it on the spot even though he was supposed to be buying my Line 6 Filter pro at the time.
it was a nice guitar and i wish I'd kept it but then i wouldn't have got this
