Welcome to Day 4 of my annual New Year's New Guitar Days (NYNGD)!
Thanks for the kind words and comments on NYNGD #2022-3!
Today's guitar is another stunning one-off "Connoisseur Cut" that I just purchased in the end-of-year sale on the EBMM Vault. This Axis Super Sport in Translucent Aqua Blue literally just arrived 4 days ago and I have not even plugged it in yet! But it's awesome and here in all its stunning glory as NYNGD #2022-4! But, because it's so new, I only did a few photos and all the photos with the white background are EBMM factory photos.
This guitar is pretty stunning. First, there's the Trans Aqua Blue Burst top (it has many names -- the Vault called it Translucent Blue, the Serial Number database calls it Aqua Blue Quilt). Just a lovely top and lovely color. The body back is okoume/mahogany, and the quilt maple top is bound with a white (not cream) body binding. Gold hardware and pickup poles.
The neck is Honduran Mahogany with a rosewood fretboard with white binding. The back of the neck and the headstock are bursted in the same blues as the body. Interestingly, the rosewood fretboard is "light", almost like a pickled finish (I think that's what you call it when you apply a trans white stain). I'd be curious to ask Tomas how that fretboard was done.
Such a stunner.
And somebody's got some 'splaining to do, because somebody snatched the Trans Purple ASS on the Vault right when I was about to pull the trigger on it. But I was going for that instead of this Aqua ASS, and I'm glad I ended up with this one! But if you're the trans purple thief, reveal yourself now!
For those who celebrate, Merry Christmas Eve!
I'll be back soon with another NYNGD: New Year's New Guitar Day! Thanks for looking everyone!

(The back story in case you're new to my NYNGD: For the past couple of years I've done a fun thing that most of you I think enjoyed, and I thought I would do it again this year. Every year, I am a slacker about keeping my Guitar Gallery up to date... So, as a fun holiday thing, let's launch a guitar in the Guitar Gallery each day leading up to New Years Eve! In the past I've received PM's about my collection and whether I play all of these guitars.
The same question came up during my NYNGD posts a few years ago and my answer was pretty detailed and well thought-out, so please check it out here!)
(Also, in case anybody gets any funny ideas -- these guitars are not at my house. They are all in my very secure and alarmed studio facility. I usually only have two guitars floating around the house...)
