Thanx for the info!!

Any word on what the humbuckers are?

 

[tvanveen]

Very cool, thanks Derek.

Is the Medallion Gold Metallic sparkly, or just shiny like a goldtop?

[Derek]

more metallic than sparkles. Check out the photo thread.


The pickups are custom made to our spec.
Although they are not made by Di marzio.

Got it, thanks.

I'm kind of digging the sub. Maybe this will be my first humbucker guitar.

I played them at the show and I thought they were really cool.

The necks seemed slightly fatter than most EB/MM, but really comfortable. Insane quality for an unreal price.

Oh, the bronze is very striking in person. Like a matte finish with subtle sparkle if that makes sense.

Is there any word on what new finish colors will be on the Axis guitar line? Also why can't you order an Axis in hardtail without having to go to the Super Sport? Thanks

 

[Derek]

The Axis is intended to remain just like the EVH
guitar. Maple Neck and Floyd trem. No tone control. We felt this should remain as close to the original EVH as this was our most popular model.

The Supersport is available for guitarists that want options, but still like the combination of Basswood maple. Rosewood neck,Tone controls, pickup options, piezo ,standard bridge ect. It seemed like everyone was asking for the EVH/Axis but with some type of minor change
this was the obvious answer to make everyone happy.

When we make a decision on colors we normally will offer solid colors for the Axis as a option.
