new axis owner

[bluebullet]

first let me say hi i just got my axis the other day and i have to say it is a great guitar . the action is nice and low but my only complaint and it is a small one is that the string tension seems a little stiff i was wondering if a set up could relax the tension or is it just something im going to need to get used to and before someone asks it is tuned to standard pitch thanks any advice would be appreciated

congrats on the purchase.....maybe you need to go down to a lighter gauge string?

let's see some pic of that bad boy!!!

Welcome to the forum bluebullet... I own several Axes (plural of Axis) and I don't feel the string tension is at all stiff on any of them (I use EB Slinkys - .009 - .042) - Sounds like maybe you received an Axis strung with .010s? (is it brand new?) or maybe a set up might be in order... Either way, congrats on picking up a killer guitar!

thanks for the replys i am using .oo9 guage now and it is brand new im actually glad to hear that you dont have the same problem, it is brand new and hasent been set up yet so that will probably do the trick
