Question Axis with Rosewood fretboard?

[joeyumbrella]

Everywhere I look, it says the Axis is not available with a rosewood fingerboard, only the SuperSport.

I have an Axis with a Rosewood fretboard, and I am confused on why. Was it custom made for somebody? Did they start to build them this way?

I thought that it could be an aftermarket neck, but it has a matching headstock, so I highly doubt it.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Rosewood fingerboard is still an option.

If you see a guitar in a shop new, the shop put in the order, and likely have more maple fingerboard customers for that guitar and so don't buy any on spec that they'll later sell.

There's a BFR Axis here in Korea, flamed cherry burst, floyd w/ rosewood FB. I knew something was totally off on that guitar when I was playing. Now that I recall, it was Axis, not ASS.

I believe that the rosewood board has been an option on the standard Axis for over a year now...its just that everyone is so used to seeing the Axis with the all maple neck that when the rosewood board is an option, immediately ? are raised haha.

We added the RW fretboard as an option on the Axis in the summer of 2008

I thought if it was specifically made for an artist (not a dealer) thr truss rod cover had 'CUSTOM MADE' stamped in it.

Either way, I swear I've seen a non-SS Axis with rosewood before...

EDIT: It's the all Rosewood AXIS I'm thinking of, duh...
