Question about Axis built in January 2019

[franko5150]

I'm looking into purchasing my first EBMM Axis. I have a questions. Do Axis guitars made in January 2019 come with the stainless steel frets? I've heard yes and no. Can anyone confirm? I checked the serial number data base and it was built Jan 16th, 2019.

It depends on the model, there were several "special edition" runs that had SS Frets. Do you have a photo of your Axis? SS Frets and roasted maple necks became a standard option in 2020. Yukatan Blue and Roasted Amber Burst were the first 2 colors of "standard" Axis to offer SS frets.
