Hi Dan / Aziah / EBMM CS,

Many thanks,
Steve

Hey Steve,

That came through us, it was sold to HW Audio in Bolton on March 3rd 1999.
I take it that it's still Gold?


Cheers,
Blind Lemon

Steve, was that the one that was on e-bay recently?

Congratulations, I love my SSS Sport.

Hey Blind Lemon, and JimmyB

to answer both your questions...YES!

This guitar, when I got it, was filthy and the black scratchplate was covered in a big blob of very sticky residue from one of those doublesided sticky foam pads (why????). Anyway after several hours of dissassembly, cleaning, restringing, and setting up, we have a true diamond of a guitar in mint shape. Simpler and more retro in looks than my other Musicman guitars, I'm loving its vintagey vibe.

Here it is in all its new cleaner glory:

I wanna know EVERYTHING about her

OK - she started out as a knee-high to a grasshopper basswood tree ... no seriously - This beauty was completed on 01/11/07 and was sent to Guitar Emporium in Louisville, Kentucky .. possibly the coolest store on the planet!

Father Dan,

forgive me for I have sin again

G38241 ASS hardtail Piezo with a wonderful flame top

Please confirm the color as I have a doubt between Tobacco Burst or Honey Burst

I know this guitar was given to one of the winner of Battle of Band that did not enjoy it, so it's an honour to have it back to the ball Family

Boy, your sins are forgiven! Your new Axis SuperSport has a Honeyburst finish! Nice find and congratulations on getting it! You are correct about the Battle of the Bands winner, thank you for giving her a good home!
