Nice NEW Axis SS

If I was in the market for one, and if I had the money...this would be a great buy!

hmmmm.........

hmmmm.........

Ha ha, I love causing turmoil in peoples lives...it truly is a beautiful guitar...I guess people don't try guitars before they buy...I guess it like marriage!

 

[tommyindelaware]

alot safer.......+ if i grow tired of the guitar....i can always sell it for a another younger model.......or smash it.....or leave it in the basement.....or at least ingore it til it goes away........

This is one beautiful ASS. If it had humbuckers and rosewood fb, I'd be running around finding someone to borrow some cash from.

I want it.

Unfortunately I'm only allowed ONE Super Sport in a 30 day period

That, coupled with a VERY pregnant wife, and I'm out.

tommy, humbuckers, not P90. I play mostly metal, so I prefer humbucking pickups. However, there is a really nice Axis Sport Stoptail there, with 2 hums. Veeery tempting.

Man you can't play METAL with a stoptail

If you say so.... ;-)

Seriously though, I'm a lousy whammy bar user, I've never had one before I got my SUB. Now that I have it, I sometimes also want to bend up, not just down, so maybe one day I'll grow enough to use a fully-floating trem of sorts. But for now, no whammy bar is ok.

A floating trem can be fun, but it's not worth the hassle for me.
Tuning and re-stringing......not fun.

Funny thing all my guitars have them (and I won't buy a guitar without), but I use them sparingly and when I do, it sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher having a coughing fit

I play mostly metal as well and i have a Sport with MM90`s........I think they smoke! I mean call me crazy, but these pickups are outstanding for metal in my opinion. I know there are other factors that make up the sound besides the pickups (amp,ect...) but i love the MM90`s!

I regret trading my Axis Sport with the MM90's, I really never tried to work with those pups enough to get the right tone...oh well!

100% agree - I go through phases where I want whammy, and long periods where I can't be bothered with one. restringing my EVH is the least enjoyable part of owning it - the e strings are a complete pain in the ass because of the small stock etc. However, I just don't think I could give whammy up completely - every time I listen to Rush, I want a trem again

 

[Raz]

That's why the vintage trems are the best, it's a trem theat you string like a non-trem
