My Black Sugar Axis has arrived, and ladies and gentlemen, this MM screams. :eek:

These pics aren't great, because I can't get away from playing the Black Sugar Axis - glittery on both sides. I got home to her at 5pm. That was seven hours ago. No wonder I feel like I have carpal tunnel wrists.

The workmanship is top notch, she is so comfortable to play, and I believe this neck gives the Axis a darker tone than my all-maple regular neck. The roasted maple is a sight to behold. The fretboard is so buttery. The BFR 12th fret inlay looks classy. The font, especially the B, is simply artistic.

I didn't even polish her before taking these pics. Ooops. Too busy having fun.

Really, this is a nice guitar. And it looks sinister...

Thanks, that's a Malmsteen Cheetah fur Cliplock strap. It looks so sweet against the black body and roasted headstock.

That looks awesome!! I thought the Axis with Floyd wasn't supposed to be available with the black sugar package??? or was that the Dargie II... either way, Killer Axis!!! Enjoy!!

Great guitar, congrats! Would you mind sharing how you got this one made as from what I know the rm/bs package wasn't available on Floyd Rose equipped guitars...it's gotta be quite a rare piece :)

Congrats Bryan that is Wicked! Wow I dont know where to start but the first pics did not show the white binding which in the second batch makes that mother pop, and that neck is sick. Everyone is right the RM/BS package did not include Floyds so you not only have the first Axis we have seen in RM/BS you have the only guitar known of with a Floyd. You stepped back into the world of EB at the perfect time, as well as stepping in something else to lol.

I was going to say that Axis looks really awesome and that it was the first I had seen with the RM/BS package. I guess there is a good reason for that! Wicked score Tollie. Looks killer!
