Anyone help with DOB? Serial number in G00791

[slukather]

Axis EX?

Axis EX?

For the price, and the source, that's what I thought, but the the quilt looks older, like an EVH ?

it looks like it's faded. I'm not sure if the EX suffered with that problem?

Most likely....the parts were made here and sent there for assembly...especially if they were produced at the time of the end of the run of that other guy's signature model...you're pretty much not going to trash dyes, you use them till their gone...

 

[Colin]

Nose Bleed can you post a pic of the headstock please?

 

[robelinda2]

looks great, more info needed for sure.

 

[theNoseBleedKid]

Hey fellas, thanks for the replies.

Yes it was $1000 Aussie dollars, after banks fees and shipping, etc.

Here are some mroe detailed photos, sorry if they arent that good quality, bad camera!

One of the Headstock:

and the back of the headstock:

And some of the neck with its lovely discoloured figuring!

This guitar smelled like pot, I had to wipe it down, and remove alot of gunk from it. Can't beleive how strnog that pot smell was, got funny looks from the parents!

Apologies for the double post;

I was researching the Axis EX, which sounds alot like the one I have, since the neck and fingerboard are in two different peices, it has the volumes know as the 'tone;' knob and doesn't have the 'Axis' on the headstock, top APPEARS bookmatched, I am far from an expert though, and my picures make it hard to tell. Control layout is also the same as that of the EVH.

So tell me experts, what have I bought? Either way its a fabulous guitar and I am stunned it cost so little, steal for a 17 year old working at coles!

 

[robelinda2]

thats amazing mate! Very cheap! its not an EVH, unless the sig is worn off the headstock. Axis EX I reckon.

hah, i worked at Coles for about 8 years, i worked my ass off to buy my first REAL amp, a Marshall Bluesbreaker combo. Took ages to save the $3000.

 

[theNoseBleedKid]

Too true, yeh I am happy with it, now I just want to know how old the thing is! Cheers for the info everybody!

 

[Ali]

I always thought the EX had a single piece top rather than book matched, or was it just some of them? I actually like the fading on that. It looks very cool

 

[lenny]

and that one doesnt have the MADE IN SLO on the back of the headstock
Dont they send the parts over and make them in Japan for the Asian Market?

 

[lumberjack]

Very nice Axis. Welcome to the forums.
