Pre-PDN NuGD - Axis Super Sport

[xjbebop]

Like many of us here, I've been 'patiently' waiting for my Starry Night for the last few months...
Absolutely no intentions or desires for anything else in the meantime. Plus, over the last year or so, I've come to the conclusion that I am an AL addict. I often get an itch to pull out one of my many other guitars, but after just a few minutes of playing said 'other' guitars, I think to myself..."yup, this is a very nice guitar all right...now where's my AL???"
So a while back I concluded that the AL series of guitars are my personal favorite. They feel right, they play right, they sound right...they make me happy

So just recently while I was doing my daily web & forum surfing, I spotted this incredible A.S.S. in the guitars for sale thread. Over the next few days, I couldn't get it out of my mind...it just spoke to me... through pictures...
I conversed with the seller ( I'll let him chime in here if he wants...), the priced dropped, and I pulled the trigger.

I can't tell you how happy I am that I did!!!! Got a fabulous deal on an even more fabulous guitar!!
SUPER happy!!!!

Enough babbling, on with the pics - 2004 Axis Super Sport MM90

I am worried about the neck though...it looks like it's got a disease.... does this look bad to you???

HAPPY Thanksgiving!

Yeah, I see the problem on that neck... going to need lots more hand-rubbing on that thing.

Thanks JL! Sorry for your loss, but I have to say, I'm in love! I bonded instantly with it and within the first few minutes of playing her, I started playing things I hadn't even thought about for years! It was kind of weird, but I realized it was really fresh inspiration. Perfect!
Mrs. Bebop really likes her too. We ship to my wife's work because it's safer. When Mrs. Bebop got finished with her customary inspection, she texted me a couple of pics along with this text "...She is beautiful almost beyond description. Photos do her no justice. She exudes a warmth and glow that will have you smitten and fuzzy inside..."

Mrs. Bebop doesn't get time to play very often, but when she does she's picky about what guitars she prefers. She really likes this one...
Autumn is going to get a lot of love around the Bebop household.... very thankful for wonderful EBMM guitars!

Gorgeous!!!

Play those through a cranked Big Muff and watch the grin Pure rock&roll. Those MM90s are raaaaaaunchy...

Great find, there! I didn't get on with the setup that the dealer did on my SuperSport - I considered flipping it, even - but once I had it set up to my liking, it's the guitar I play the most. (We'll see what impact the Starry Night L3 has on that in a few weeks.) Very comfortable neck. And Kevin is correct - the neck on yours is going to require lots of rubbing.

Congrats!
