My first "Axis"

[Louis]

Hi,
I send some pictures of my "Axis" (copy made by luthier).
Thanks for your help and suggestion about pickups I should use.

Take care

That is one fine looking guitar!

My compliments to the chef.

What kind of bridge is that? It looks pretty beefy.

Thanks

This is ABM bridge (Made in Germany). J don't remember what model is it.
They have many interesting guitar parts. Unfortunately, their web site is under construction :-( http://www.abm-mueller.de/

the selector switch is a little close to the volume for me, but other than that, it looks nice.

at first, I thought it was another OLP mod. Color me embarassed. It looks NICE. Did you go for the same wood as the Axis? Basswood with a maple top?

And you HAVE to tell me what kind of case that is. I'd love one.

That's a very nice guitar... I prefer the "stubby" 3-way switch as used on the Axis and Petrucci (and even the Ibanez Petrucci sig.) when the switch is placed anywhere but the traditional "LP" position, but it's a fine looking instrument... the bridge does look quite nice, and the finish is sweet!

I agree with JD on the switch. If I do a 2 pup guard on my Silo when it comes in) I may opt for the Pet type switch. WOO!


Late!

Sorry, I forgot to send a link to Paco Cases Company (it's a Polish manufacturer of flight cases).
