Is this guitar genuine?

[Docmarcioszi]

Hello, I was roaming around Allegro (polish ebay) and found something like this.
Do you think this guitar is genuine? I don't think I have ever seen second switch on Axis. What is it's purpose?

Price is kinda nice (1900$)

Thanks in advance, M

Hello

The information in the Music Man serial number database is coherent with the guitar :

Serial #	G35110
Manufactured	November 17th, 2006
Build Code	300-73-11-00-CS-CR
Model	Axis
Color	Tobacco Burst
Neck	Maple Neck Maple Fretboard Matching Headstock
Pickguard	No Pickguard
Hardware	Chrome Hardware

Thus I thing the guitar is genuine.
I believe the extra switch is for splitting the coils of the humbuckers.

I've checked it as well and it matches but have not seen coil splitting switch in Axis so far. Have they been produced like that or is it mod?

Aftermarket. Shame, it's so much easier to use a push/push for the volume knob instead.

I agree. Looks totally legit, but has an added aftermarket coil splitting switch.

Sometimes, people does idiot things.
Like painting Music Man necks.
Yes, they do.
That's an awesome Axis at a reasonable price, anyway.

I’d change that coilsplit toggle with a tiny push button like suhr does.

Looks legit to me , though not a fan of the aftermarket mod

That's a nice Axis - I'd go for it
