Innarested in a trade?

[PeteDuBaldo]

I have a lovely Blue Dawn Axis Sport with a maple fretboard and natural headstock. The thing is, I prefer the feel of rosewood fretboards...

So
I'm tossing out the idea of trading the maple fretboard neck off my Axis Sport (straight-up trade, plus a D.M.C. goodybag) for a neck with a rosewood fretboard that fits an Axis Sport.

The neck I have is in excellent condition, with no fretwear, chips, gouges, etc.

Anyone interested?

Unfortunately the Axis neck didn't jive with me, but man that thing is beautiful!!!

Pete,

There's a rosewood fretboard matching headstock Blue Dawn ASS on the bay.

He's got a good point pete. Buy it swap the necks and sell the ASS/Sport.

If I had the cash on hand I would do it in a second - I can't justify this as a business expense though

 

[GWDavis28]

Dude I fully understand!!! Good luck.

Its a different fitting through. Its a Fender neck disguised as an EBMM one!

Pete - I would be interested in swapping. I have a '96 AS with the rosewood board in primo shape (and it's been oiled and waxed regularly). Let me know if you're still interested.

I finally did the swap with some help from beej! Thanks bud!


------------------- BEFORE ----------------------------------------- AFTER ----------------

I'm just more of a rosewood guy; mostly because of feel, and partially because of looks. The guitar plays like a dream, and feels stellar. I can't wait to plug in at practice tomorrow and have a go. As far as looks go, right now I'm digging it, kind of like my own "old-school" LE with the black headstock.

 

[fogman]

Looks great.
I like it better!

Unfortunately the Axis neck didn't jive with me, but man that thing is beautiful!!!

did i say that?

 

[Ripper]

Congrats Pete, for that o' skool LE look!

Yup - Blue Dawn sure looks cool with a rosewood board, a reason that sent me hunting down for a Blue Dawn Silo Spec!!

 

[Sweat]

Very nice Pete, like the look alot, love the blue dawn and that head stock looks cool, man I was still screwing around with other brands when that first came up, yep Beej is the man when it comes to mod help

That's bad ass, Pete. Curious if the Sport sounds warmer with the rosewood.
