Axis Tribute or BFR

[jl2112]

I just wanted to see everyone's opinion. I am looking at a tribute and a BFR, both are the same price. With the different tone block on the BFR, and the fact I've heard it doesn't have as much bite compared to a regular Axis which one do you guys prefer. I like that VH tone though I like clean stuff to.

Play em both and see which one speaks to you. No one else can make that decision for you.

Both are good choices but based on your comments tribute is most likely what your after

I have a BFR Axis, and it was my number 1 for a very long time. It sounds different than my regular Axis - not as bright.

I agree with Keith Sweat, that based on your statement the Tribute is more suited to your playing.

I don't have a BFR Axis, but have a few BFR Super Sports. All 3 sound different(one does not have tone block-all rosewood neck). My 2 Tributes actually sound different?????? You'll probably be satisfied either way.Play em both, like DevRock says.

I looked at my post again and realized i did not state it correctly. I actually have two regular Axis guitars right now and should quit there but I can't, they are pretty awsome. I saw a Tribute and a BFR for the same price that I like, they are not here locally and there are none to play at the GC here. I was just trying to see what people thought of the BFR sound in comparison if they like one over the other. The regular Axis has the sound I was always looking for but couldn't find. I wanted to consider the BFR since it will be different than my others. I guess it comes down to they are both great and one has more of a midrange bite, not better or worse. I might wait until I can actually get to play a BFR before buying one.

I can only compare a Super Sport with tone block to one without, as I don't have an Axis with tone block. I really don't hear a difference. They all sound amazing. My purple Tribute sounds better than my pink. Crazy, huh?
