Could I get a P90 Axis with a Floyd??

Tone King, the Axis is only available with humbuckers. You can get an Axis Super Sport with MM90's, but it's not available with a floyd. The tuning stability of the vintage tremolo on the Super Sport is well worth checking out, if that's the desired quality in the floyd.

Too right, the vintage trem is superb! floyd shmoyd.

I had a Silo Special that I regretfully sold and it had the vintage trem. Although it was'nt bad, I just like the feel of a Floyd the way my hand rests on it.

How hard would it be to modify one with a Floyd? I wonder how off the posts would be. I should've checked when I had both my Axis and Silo at the same time

Might be easier to go the other way....change your Axis pups to humbucker-sized P90s. Dimarzio Bluesbuckers are a good apporximation, and require no surgery. Seymour Duncan Phat Cats are true single coil P90s, but require a little removal of the wood in the pup cavities.

All that said, EBMM uses ash for the MM90-equipped ASSs. I guess they don't think basswood is all that great for the soapbars. I tried both the pups above in basswood+maple guitars, and whil not bad, the MM90 ASS blew them away.
