Hello from france .. I've bought a musicman van halen and hope to have details about it.. I've seen many and many photos of this guitar on the net and no photos like this guitar .. it has black switching and schaller tuning machine .. it's the first time i see with this color .. is it a special serie? The serial number is 80632 .. thanks by advance for your answers and excuse my poor english ..

Welcome to the Addiction!
This is just a guess....no on both accounts. The switch and tuners. May have been put on by someone else. But....I could be mistaken.
Nice axe by the way....congrats!

Hello, and might I say that's a very nice guitar you've snared yourself.
If it were mine I'd be straight on to whoever distributes EB in France to get the right type of 3 way switch for your guitar, after the precise 'click' of the EBMM 3 way those G***son type 3 ways feel very different.
Mind you it's hardly a dealbreaker. Like I said it's a lovely guitar

yep, it got routed. I wish all Axis guitars came like that.

The black machine heads are non-standard too.

I want to say I've seen this one before. Maybe a year or so ago, someone posted pics of this very guitar. There was a dispute about it's color now versus the color that it was when it was originally manufactured.
This one looks really familiar.

Why would somebody do that to an Axis?
that ain't an Axis....it's an EVH, even more reason not to route it.
ETA: forgot to add, I think that is the trans Black finish....maybe it's faded a bit over time?

"At leat" refinished, IMO. Look at the decal.

Yeah I know. Slip of the tongue I guess.
Are we 100% sure it's an EVH?

Yeah I know. Slip of the tongue I guess.
And I don't think we're 100% sure it's an EVH yet.
