Rosewood Axis Super Sport

[Sweat]

Not big on NGD now days but thought this one needed to be shared. Wanted to order one when the window was open but this worked out better, was able to choose the one I liked best. Lucky for me Sweetwater ordered three hardtails.

So my new Rosewood top and neck Axis Super Sport hardtail. Love the look of this one and it is a nice 7lbs 2oz which I prefer lighter guitars. Very resonant! Also love the fact EBMM did these with a brown back

Keith,
That is nice. I had no idea that it had a brown back. It looks black in all the pics. Nice score.

congrats keith, nice score!

That thing is lovely! I'm eying up a rosewood Y2D at the moment!

What a beautiful guitar, congrats.

Nice! Congrats!

Beautiful, Keith - The brown back is perfect for that one!

 

[Geetarfreek82]

Yeah I really dig the Brown back on these... Kudos EBMM!

Nice looking unit Keith! You get all the good stuff!

Interesting views guys, in UK these really are not popular. My bass player always said, when I had mine, that the top looked like a kitchen counter surface from an American sitcom.

It took me two years of very hard advertising to sell it on, the only guitar I have ever sold.

Nice! I've got one with a Piezo but it's VERY heavy, much more so than my other MMs. Sounds absolutely gorgeous though!

Really? I guess I've never known anyone rich enough to have rosewood counter tops.... lol

Nice choice, Keith!

The rosewood ASS was my gateway drug to EBMM. It got me in the door and I've since moved on to other guitars. But that remains one great playing and sounding guitar.

Now that's really a nice one...love the top and the brown back looks just right on this one. Huge congrats my friend

I usually prefer a bit more bling on electric guitars, but now that I've seen a few of these all rosewood guitars, I'm starting to understand the appeal. The dark wood grain and cream has a swanky retro vibe, reminds me of 60s wood paneling. How's the tonality of a rosewood neck, fingerboard, and top?

 

[Sweat]

Thanks guys great guitar and yes you either love it or hate it on the looks, heard the old furniture references many times. I love the look, just like I like Koa and spalted maple.

It is a very resonant and bright sounding guitar notes ring when played unplugged

Rosewood is awesome.
