Seeing an ex who has aged badly...

[spkirby]

If there was one guitar I regret selling it was this pacific blueburst Axis. I bought it from Norm and it sounded amazing and looked beautiful.

About 6 months back I found it was on ebay...in the completed/sold section! Found it two days too late to bid on it

Anyway, I've just found it up for sale again in a UK music shop...and something very bad has happened...

Dang... Got LEDs to go with those knobs and switches? That is more aftermarket switches than an 18 year old's Honda civic with neons would have.

Yikes!!

Oh the Horror! The bridge is different too.

That's just not right........

I was going to buy this one before the owner traded it in. It has a Graphtec Ghost system installed with 13-pin synth access and piezo. Not for everyone I know. I passed on it for some reason but luckily my Axiss SS BFR that I regretted selling last year became available again today so I snagged that. Happy days!

Absolute travesty.

HA!!!

I would have done a better job of spacing and positioning the knobs but aside from that it might just somebody's ideal guitar (although apparently the person who did this didn't think so once it was done).

you can never have enough knobs and switches.... except in this case, that said if it was cheap enough used I'd buy it back and strip out the extras and live with the 'speed holes'

I would argue the important thing here is the guitar is no longer being held hostage by Norm.

...but knobs the same color would at least be nice.

Yikes!

I kind of like it.

But then again, modular synthesizers excite me too.

 

[mtrejo]

I'm certain one of those switches activates the oil slick
…and it looks like the volume on this puppy may very well go to 30. Just sayin

I'm with DrKev. Seems like it would be a whole lot more aesthetically pleasing if the knobs & switches were repositioned.

Someone installed a freaking gamecube in that thing wow...

Kind of sad seeing an excellent instrument being butchered. Then again, someone might pick it up cheaply and with some tender care and fixing it would be again a great gigging guitar.
