Have bought & sold many guitars over the years, but have recently been replacing other models with more Axis. Every time I think I’m done, I end up finding another one that’s too good to pass up. These are in the order that I’ve bought them, starting with my EVH in 1995, through to the 2012 PDN Honeyburst I just found a couple of weeks ago. These are definitely home base for me, just rock solid & super consistent. Have never owned a bad one.

Fantastic collection!

So they're all lined up against the wall. You walk in the room to play a bit. Which one do you reach for first?
 
I've thankfully been able to stop myself at just one. For now. Trying to decide if I like the 9 strings on it, or whether I want to go up to 9.5.
I use the Hybrid Slinky 9-46 on mine. To me, it's the perfect string set. Gives it a little more bottom end while keeping the bends easy.
I put them on everything.
