NGD: Striped Axis

[geese_com]

It took me half a year but I finally got it!

Saw this posted on the 'bay last weekend. I decided to put a bid on it thinking that I will eventually get outbid. Lo and behold, I WON!

The journey went something like this:

Nothing -> Frankenstein Copy -> USA Wolfgang -> Axis (Green Quilt) -> Axis (Striped). Trading up the whole way.

I put a tone knob and Schaller strap locks on it. I will eventually put the MXR knob on there and maybe the eyelet hooks to complete the look. This is definitely going to be a keeper.

Goes well with the shoes:

Very nice, man. Great birdseye on the neck. Congrats. I saw that on Ebay last week, too. How good is the paint. Does it seem to be a professional job?

Those are pretty rare to find!

The paintjob is top notch. It is so good that you might even think it came out of the factory like that. It looks exactly like Eddie's (http://www.vintagekramer.com/Ed/guitar-ebstriped.jpg). The only difference obviously is his is an actual EVH model.

Congrats! I had a Steinberger with a similar paint job but sometimes felt weird about playing "other stuff" with it.

Definitely enjoying your old green quilt.
