Yeah a little bird told me you were getting this - well not much gets past the S.A.A. of ALOC! Welcome.

As I'm up in Bonny Scotland the week after next I'll drop in the Ring, decoder book and show you the handshake!

Let us know what you think of it after you've played it to death.

I've always fancied one of those since I saw Albert Lee with the prototype (was it called the MM Axe???) on the cover of Guitarist magazine in 1990. Cool Beans indeed.

Now that's just confusing.

It was called the Axis in the mid 80's when Dudley designed it and gave it to BP and then it made its way into Alberts hands when he tried it out and fell in love with it at a party. It was not a production model. When they decided to go into production on the Albert Lee several years later they made it a signature model.

After Eddie left, MM still had rights to the Axis name and put that on the refined and remodled guitar you see today.

Not so confusing:)
