hey guys,

Could someone describe the diff of a Sport and a Super Sport? I'm pretty tempted to buy this bad boy but am trying to hold out for a Rosewood ASS. What kind of music would this axe be best suited for? I'm really digging the sound of an LJ Junior w/ P90s on the new Green Day CD. I'm gussing this can acheive that sound ... am i right?

Thanks ... and sorry if someone's already gone thru this drill

thanks ... great help.
if this AS didnt have the matching headstock i would buy it :(

Duck, no problem, glad to have been able to help out. Yah I'm not into the matching headstocks either. None of mine have matching and I'll probably never will, just a thing with me.

I have 2 Axis Sports and I tell you they are sweet. Are you looking for an Axis Sport? I have one in Blue Dawn, non matching headstock and trem. If your interested PM me.

Later, Glenn |B)

Depending on the amp, you can get a good range of sounds. They handle gain really well, I put it through a cranked DS-1 with no problem. Hard rock, classic rock, jazz (it has a really warm neck pickup), and even some metal. These are all available.

No disrespect to DIMEBAG Hambucker, but didn't you have that great humping animals avatar at one time?

I suppose this is a guitar forum, but that was cool. :eek:

Yes I did, but I was respectfully asked to change it. This is still family place, right?!

very similar......w/not as much sub lows .......and a smidge brighter...due to the 25.5" scale length.

In order to fund the new Nighthawk I'm buying I, must sell my Axis. Don't worry I'll be back...hopefully I don't regret it. It has a one-piece swamp ash body (trans purple), hardtail bridge, rosewood/flame maple board with matching headstock, and of course the original locking tuners. It is stung up with DiAdarrio 11s that still have lots of life left in them. They've been played for maybe four or five hours time total. Two MM-90s (same as P-90s), three position switching, one volume, one tone knob. It also has the EB "silent circuit", which eliminates virtually all single coil noise and allows you to put as much gain as you desire on these things. It does not degrade tone AT ALL either. I'm sure you guys know all about it. No scratches on the front, no buckle rash on the back. There are two small scratches on the back, but are not deep or really that noticeable except if you hold it on an angle in the light. I would rate this guitar as in very good to exellent condition. Not completely mint, but very little wear. I've also got a non-original hardcase I got with the guitar. The guitar fits very well, and the case itself is almost new looking. Neither have been giged with or really even left my house since I got it. I have it posted elsewhere for more, but for anyone here all I want is $500 + shipping, and I won't upcharge. I will send it what ever carrier you want, my zip is 60187. I don't have pics of the case right now, but here is what I took a couple of months ago.
