Hi all,

I know it's not worth much without a picture and I will get one up soon but I just brought home an axis super sport from guitar center last night. The funny thing is that it came with vintage chrome style humbuckers like you see in the 25th anniversary axis models...the pickups are screwed directly into the body...no black ernie ball pickup surrounders...just wondering if this is the norm or if someone at guitar center played around with the axe replacing parts or something.

Thanks.

I've seen a few at the GC in NYC in Honey Burst as well and also a regular Axis as well. Let me see if I can pull up the pics :D.

Nice score, did not realize that there were more GC specials out there, congrats.

Off topic, saw a black magic crystal Axis at GC, freakin awesome color in person.
