No, the Axis was not one of the models offered with the LE Buttercream finish. The Benji Madden sig. didn't get the Buttercream treatment either. There were a couple others, but I forget what they were...
I wonder why the don't do that kind of thing for the Axis. My first thought would be why would you put a solid finish on the nice top, then I think of this years LE, and it is available on the Axis as solid black, when a trans black w/ gold hardware would've been sooooo nice.
In any case... the buttercream w/ black binding would've been a very sweet looking guitar.
