Hey guys I'm new here and have a question. Why is it that the necks on the tribute models are not as figured as the other Axis models? I'm looking at a couple different models but when I get an Axis (which I have been wanting for years) I have to have the pretty neck. I have an OLP which I modified and added the Gotoh trem and it plays amazing but it's just not the real thing. I like the different colors of the tribute's but just can't get past the neck being plain. I am also looking at a BFR Axis which has the gorgeous neck on it. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Well, I have yet to see a tribute Axis with a plain neck. All the guitars I have seen pictures of so far had beautiful necks and tops that were far from beeing plain.
Have a look at the giutar center platinum website!

Welcome to the forum, Warren. I have seen more Tributes with nice neck than with plain necks. It's just luck of the draw, I suppose, since every neck is different. The BFR guitars generally have nicer woods.
Tollie don't mention BFRs as its a touchy subject at the moment on the other thread lol

haha - Mama didn't raise a fool. I officially retract my BFR reference...just kidding...I love the BFRs.
Thanks guys. And thanks for the heads up on the GC Platinum sight, I was unaware it existed. I found what I was looking for there, a purple tribute with a gorgeous neck and at a ridiculously reduced price. It was at a GC in Maryland and is on it's way to Bama. I have been wanting an Axis for a long time and could never really justify the cost but my wife wanted to get me one for my 50th, she is really something.
