Hey, one thing at a time!
you did god work! I just hate seeing my frets dirty and grimey, love seeing beautiful shiny polished frets when i look down at the fretboard! just like when you get a new EBMM guitar and you open the case for the first time, the frets are all sparkley.

I know that feeling
So Eilif do you like the profile of the Axis neck better? It's so big and chunky compared to the Luke's neck...

I prefer the Axis neck. It's not that there's something great about that neck (although sometimes I like that extra wood up top where it is...hmm I can just imagine the comments from Luke about that ). It's more that the "V" of the Luke neck seems to get in the way of my thumb sometimes.
I've tried a Silo Special and the 20th Silo, and I like those necks, too.

Thanks for that, the headstock even matches the body. You've probably started a trend

it looks great! You cant tell its the the axis neck until you see the headstock!

It's a pretty good fit, I think. It's not perfect, but it seems to work well enough.
The EBMM catalog says the Axis and Luke necks have the same width. If memory serves, the others are slightly wider (by about 1/16 of an inch?). I wouldn't have tried it if the Axis and Luke necks weren't both 2 3/16" at the last fret.

did the screw holes line up?

Ya, they lined up quite nicely. If EBMM use the same plates (with the serial no.) for all their guitars, then the 5-hole pattern--and the spacing between the holes--should be identical for all the necks. Whether a given neck fits should just be a question of how deep or wide the 'neck pocket' in the body is.

this stuff interests me so thanks for answering all my questions. Now go and polish your frets

I'll need to. I'll be putting both the Axis SS and the Luke on ebay. Why? So I can get my 20th Silo and still be married.

20th silo is pretty cool, dunno if its cooler than your 2 current balls together though......

That Luke/SS combo is very cool.
I second Robelinda2's statement.

I always wanted to buy a rosewood ASS and put its neck on one of my standard Axis guitars. Its just the money stopping me!

I can always buy another Luke or Axis SS in the future. The window for the 20th Anniversary Silhouette, however, is closing.....
