Axis Neck Radius/Shape info?

[chrismilne]

Do all Axis guitars have the same neck shape/profile and radius? What are the dimensions?

I have an Axis with a maple fretboard and i think its the perfect shape neck for my hands and i'm curious the dimensions and how it compares to other guitars. Unfortunately this is the same guitar i'm having setup/action issues with that i posted about but i do love the feel of the neck.

Thanks.

The Axis has a 10-inch radius and an asymmetric profile, and it's the main reason that they're my favorite guitars in the world. It just seems to fit your hand like a glove. All models have the same shape, though you may find slight differences in feel depending on how much they've been played, how they've been taken care of, etc. For example, my 2007 has a slightly different feel in my hand than my 2016, but it's just because I've played the heck out of the '07, and it's well broken in.

Did you ever get your axis to a tech for a setup? It really should fix your action issues.

Not yet, i just put heavy bottom strings on it for a project i'm recording (though there were action problems even with the 9's before), when i'm done and don't need drop c i'm going to go back to 9's or hybrids and have it setup.

Thanks, do you know if any other EB guitar uses the same neck? My guitar is a 1998, i had forgotten it was that old...

I don't think any others use the same neck, but I believe there's one that's similar. The AL, I think, but I'm not sure.

The Al is chunkier and doesn’t have the same assymetric shape.

Thought I'd seen people here compare the two favorably, but maybe I'm thinking about something else. Never actually gotten my hands on an AL.

I've got an AL and a couple Axis; the AL is similar but not the same; the Axis has that magical asymmetrical neck which make it unique.
