2000 sport honeyburst $711 on EvilBay. Neck was a bit grungy but I de-funked w/B.C. oil and wax.
Well.......?

Sweet!

Congrats!

 

[goldsilo]

That is a very classy looking guitar!

 

[Lucidology]

Even more 'Congrats'!!!... your guitar has great look to it... how would you describe the sound of it with those P-90's?

What kind of B.C. Oil and Wax did you use to 'de-funk' it? Is there a particular brand?

 

[Thirdpole]

I really like those plain ash top Axis.
I bet it sound killer with those P90's !

Thanks for the pics, your guitar looks great !

 

[Philip]

wow, looks classy!! I love the neck on it

 

[nad]

That looks awesome. Great find and a great price too!

 

[jazzbo jim]

thanks forumites!
It's lighter than my other axis-MM90's sound nice-I haven't experimented with the silent circuitry yet.
I would describe the tone as articulate and lively. Fat bass notes and crisp highs (clean or dirty).
Dynamic-responds nicely to picking dynamics and as neat "clean" edge when overdriven.
B.C is Birchwood Casey.
I love the honey burst-I originally want a quilt maple top but there's somethig kinda cool about all ash, don't you think?
Here's my other Axis..

i think honeyburst . blueburst . & purple sunset ar by far my favorite colors. & bindingless looks way better to me too.
it's a shame that neck has all those marks all over it......
really nice fiddle dude.......

LOL
I tried to return it to BP but........
Let's just say there's a few "sightless birds" flyin' around in SLO

 

[beej]

Nice score! Yep, that's gorgeous, no doubt about it!

 

[Spudmurphy]

I'm loving it!

 

[lumberjack]

Very nice, Jim. Congrats. That's a damn fine neck

 

[jazzbo jim]

Thanks LJ,
and I'm blown away by the honeyburst!...EBMM does the nicest paint jobs on the burst finishes. No tobacco "donuts" like G!&$0n or F@^(@r. Just a beautiful gradual........burst.

Purrrr-ty!
