Axis Rosewood?

[dan desy]

Hey guys, I've been away for a while, but have been GASsing for one of those recently. How heavy are those beasts?

What are the good dealers that stock a bunch of them? They seem to sell rather quickly.

Thanks!

Seems pretty standard to me - I have the trem, so it's bit heavier than the stoptail... Only the top of the body is rosewood - the rest is basswood...

 

[dan desy]

Yeah, the top and the neck. Don't forget the most important part of it

 

[thindave]

geez, I didn't even notice that... It seems about the same as my AL...

It's "not noticeably" heavier to my hands than the other Axis SuperSport models. I have 2 Rosewood Axis SuperSports w/ trems here now, if you feel inclined, shoot me an email! [email protected]

If you're looking for the Rosewood Axis (and not the supersports) WILD WEST GUITARS has one.

The Rosewood Axis at my local EBMM dealer actually feels a bit lighter than the Rolls Burgandy Axis hanging on the wall next to it - however, both are reasonable for Axes.

I would still love to get my hands on a Rosewood SuperSport with MM90s - however, I'm curious to find out if the MM90 version would still be rosewood over basswood or if it would revert to typical SuperSport MM90 speck and be rosewood over ash.
