if it was an EVH i would buy it hehe

Oh, it's not an EVH? Sorry. I thought the single volume knob and bridge distinguished it.

Here are the changes that were made from the EVH to the Axis:

1. Neck widened slightly towards the higher registers
2. Pickup switch moved from lower horn to near the volume knob
3. Tummy contour added to back of body

That's it. It's basically the same guitar (w/ a lower resale value ;) )

Thank you, Wired!

What distinguishes an EVH?

1. Lack of Eddie's signature on the headstock (obviously)

2. Toggle switch is moved down below the volume knob, instead of the original location near the bottom horn/below the neck pickup.

3. Body is now contoured on back where your stomach and guitar meet.

4. Neck width at higher frets is increased by 1/32" to avoid high E string slippage.

5. "Tone" knob is now a "Volume" knob.

6. Offset saddles on the Floyd (EVH), non-offset on the Axis.

7. ...one could argue money, depending on the market at the time, but that's personal preference.

I should add this to the FAQ, since I have to search for this everty time it's asked. :)
