Route My Axis???

[Butch Snyder]

For a middle position single coil pickup? I would like to introduce some Strat quack into my sound. I have a template and have routed many many Teles; but they're always underneath the cover of a pickguard. This route would be exposed as well as all my possible mistakes....

With your chops - you do what you got to do - you can always buy another Axis - apparently there is nothing wrong with owning a dozen or so ....according to this forum - I'm in the process of explaining this to my wife......................!

Nope nothing wrong with owing multple EBMM's.

Oh, go ahead and make the addition to your Axis. You got the skills.

hard one, if you have a few Axis' then i reckon its ok to stuff around and tweak one of them, but if you only have one, i wouldnt do it.

go for it - its your guitar.

i think it would be fun. if i had the shop skills and i had that kind of desire to mod one of my guitars i would totally go for it

Have you tried adding a push/pull to the volume knob to split the humbuckers? This might give you some nice single coil tones without altering the guitar so radically. Obviously not going to give you the classic strat 'tweener tones but would give you three single coil tones.

if it's done right, then why the hell not?

The vol push/pull splits the neck pickup and the tone push/pull splits the bridge pickup.

Why not, it give you some cool new sounds!

Butch, why not just get an older Axis Sport with SSH p’ups?

Am a quack addict myself.

I would love to have one of the H/S/S Axis Sports. Sadly, I have champagne taste and a beer budget.

I personally would not mess with it, but if it has to be done do it right. Good luck either way!
