Yeah. Plus Id imagine it would be a total pain in the rump to take one of my kidneys out and package it up and ship it all by myself. But for a custom built EBMM. It just might be worth it!

Sometimes I wish the Axis Super Sport had a tremolo similar to that of the JP6. The responsiveness of the trem on that is really nice (in my opinion) for everything from subtle vibrato to an occasional dive bomb. I rarely use the whammy though, so I don't really mind but if I could afford a custom that's the only thing I'd change :3

The thing is when I use a trem I really like the vibrato you can get when you slightly pull up and down on it...I find it's a bit more "natural" sounding and is quite pleasant whereas just being able to pull down kind of ruins that effect. Great guitar though..going to go put another payment on my future ASS!

I think essentialy the JP trem is the Super Sport trem.

I think essentialy the JP trem is the Super Sport trem.

Whaaaaaaaat? I dunno man. The basic idea is the same (2-point trem, 6 saddles, similar baseplate) but I was under the impression that EB totally tooled up the JP bridge as a fresh design. I could see how the JP bridge would have grown out of the ASS bridge but I suppose BP knows the truth.

While we're on here dreaming . . .

Body: silo Special body shape. Alder with Flame maple cap and mahogany tone block. Contours similar to what was done with the 20th Silo. Rounded body contours with forearm and belly cuts. pinstripe binding a la 20th silo. Routed for 2 humbuckers with the awesome MM pickup rings

Electronics and misc: either MM 2 point trem or Wilkinson VS100. 3-way switch, 1 volume, 1 tone - both are push-pulls. Why? for Duncan P-rails. They are basically humbuckers, p-90's and single coils all wrapped up in one.

Neck: Silo special neck with 10" radius, 22 frets, rosewood fretboard, flame maple neck, Clay dots - 2.5mm. back profile would be the Axis asymmetrical profile. matching headstock.

I've been dreaming about this guitar for quite some time. Can't wait to see if anything like this comes to fruition.

Hey,

my Axis Sport is my dreamguitar .
If I had the chance to have my own guitars custom-build by EBMM, I probably had some with different wood an PU-combination, but the overal feeling of that guitar for me is not improvable.

Ah, if someone sells his used Axis Sport (scratches don't matter), please contact me .

Cheers,
Julian
