I recently played an axis sunburst , and fell in love!! It was like a time machine bringin me back to 1991 when I got my EVH model. I have been searching for my long lost EVH for years, in hopes to buy it back, In the mean time i've been holdin off on buying a new MusicMan to hold on to the money in case I find my old evh. Just wanted put it out there, Music Man guitars are in my opinion the best production guitar I've ever played. That axis is tempting me to go to the shop and take it home, but i've recently went through a bout of GAS, and really need to hold myself back, I don't wanna listen to the wife about it, and I can't lie to her and tell her it was only a couple hundred bucks, The Axis oozes it's 1800 dollar price tag.
