I have an Axis Sport that I really like. My question is: is the neck profile/shape on the Axis Sport the same as the Axis Super Sport?
 
indeed it is :)

each guitar is unique though but the overall impression is the same, you will feel at "home"

Pictures always help! So, the Axis neck is a little thicker than other EBMM models? Or am I reading that picture all wrong?

No, not thicker. It's assymetrical. When I last tried an ASS vs an Axis a couple of weeks back, I found that the Axis is actually THINNER than the ASS. Both were maple! I don't know if that's the way they're cut, or was it just those 2... I found the Axis to be much nicer to play than the ASS...

im not 100% but i believe the axis and super sport have the same profile. due to hand sanding etc there may be a hair of variation. + IME your setup can trick you into thinking one neck is thinner or fatter than the other.
 
I have a Sport, a Super Sport and an Axis. All necks are very very similar...I would fail in identifying one from the other in a blind test!
 
Arin has it on the head (although I'm not 100% certain about the Axis, as I've never tried one)

But all 3 of my Sport's have a very simialr profile to my Super Sport. The only slight differences in feel are down to the hand finishing.
