OK so I have been playing my new Axis for a couple of weeks now. My initial consern was that the neck would eventually turn out to be too small for me as I have fairly large hands equipped with the hot dog kind of fingers... This has not been the case at all! I just love more and more how this neck feels in my hand. It´s so smooth to play. The fretwork is awesome, so easy to bend and control the strings in any direction.
Also love the sound of it. Just a glass clear, pure, superclean humbucker sound both clean and distorted. Only problem is I can easily see myself wanting more in the future. A problem for the wallet, an even bigger problem for the domestic peace agreement, if you see what I mean...
So finally here are some more pics of my red tiger. Have a nice weekend!

Beautiful! Red Tiger.... I like that too!

Also +1 to what you said about the necks and being able to control the string in any direction. It really allows more expression with vibrato and bends without wearing your hand out.

Congrats on the Red Tiger!

Thanks a lot guys!! What a friendly bunch and a nice and informative forum. Feel right at home here:)
I love the red color too. Had my mind set on translucent gold, just because it´s a classic I guess. But there was apparently just one Axis to get hold of from the importer in Scandinavia at the time and it was red. So I just jumped at it without even seeing it first. Impulse can be a good thing:) Next up is to install a D-tuna. Seems handy since I play a lot in drop D.
Thanks again!
