Look what I just bought!

Nice Axis, although the pickguard makes it interesting, I prefer the Axis without the pickguard (and with matching headstock )
Good score though! Have fun!

It is a rare and unique piece. You can blame me for the pickguard. It was my shape. I still like them and if you change pickguards save the old one as this is rare.

Definitely cool. Reminds me of that ying/yang thing.

Wow. Thanks for posting - I'm not gonna' change a thing on it. I like it very much just as it is. It has a sort of old-Tele-meets-new-rock (in a tuxedo no less) thing going on that I completely dig.


I think the pickguard really adds something to the Axis. This one blows my mind:

Very cool guitar.

Slight hijack . . . .I had an Axis Sport with a cream pickguard, and it was a really good/cool guitar. I did get a clear pickguard for it. Really amped up the cool factor.

wow i really like it. the binding is cool!
i don´t like the clear PG that much, it seems a bit naked

I get the pickgaurd concept........but couldn't do it myself.

Maybe a "CLEAR" pickgaurd or "Brown Tortoise" pickgaurd would change it up a little ?? dunno

BUT, you did purchase an AXIS, so still is a winner

 

[Spudmurphy]

.. it has a very vintage feel to it

Totally agree.

Hang onto that one!!

I really like it exactly how it is...nice find

Hey Sterling, y'know I wasn't mad keen on the pickguard originally but grew to love it's style. I didnt like the Albert much either, but now look...
