Hi there
Thanks for the appreciation. I just got lucky with the top. The funny thing is that here in the UK it's really hard to find a dealer that actually has any stock. A lot of shops will custom order you a guitar but I like to try something out before I buy and see how it looks. I managed to track down a dealer that actually stocked a few EBMM guitars and this one just asked to be bought.

I really like the neck and the piezo just gives it an extra dimension. I've recently bought a used Axis Super Sport (without piezo) - I've not yet taken any pictures but as soon as I do I'll post them on Webshots.

Hey Eliot,

which dealer did you go to and where in the UK is that dealer??? (Seeing signs of credit card fever approaching!)

Where are you based? I'm in Oxford.

Hi Steve
Nice to hear from a fellow UK EBMM fan. I got mine from ElectroMusic in Doncaster. They had a couple of Axis's (or is that Axes??), a Super Sport with MM90s, Silhouettes and some others.

I know you live in Oxford so forgive me if this is a stupid question, but have you tried the Oxford Guitar Gallery as they are supposed to be dealers?

Eliot,

I can walk to the Oxford Guitar Gallery in 5 mins, its just around the corner. Its a great shop and only stocks high end and unusual stuff. My wife is trying to keep me away from there! ;)

They did have a tobacco burst Axis and also an Axis Sport recently but they werent on display last week when I popped in.

Cheers
Steven
