He is a very cool dude it seems. I have read interviews and what not with him. Very knowledgable guy who is very humble to say the least. Never judge a book by it's cover applies here for sure...lol.

Plus it makes me chuckle when we get the inevitable question about the Axis or other guitars...........yeah ,but can you play metal on it???.... John 5 plays some serious shred on a Tele (with a bucker in the bridge) but a tele none the less.

thats funny i used a cherryburst american delux tele for the down payment on a axis ss last week. That fender sounded realy good tuned to d with some nice distortion. the single coils are super articulate and sound awsome in high gain settings.

Drop Eb is as far as I go, but I'd love to have a guitar sitting around ready for the low stuff so this thread could prove useful to me.

I don't like putting too heavy of strings on cause it widens the nut, and I can't stand when the strings are too floppy. Seems like a 7 stringer would be the perfect choice accompanied by a 5 string bass.

When I do tune down I use a less drive and layered approach for recording.

my guitar tuned down to b will need a new nut if i go back to light strings. that guitar i have had the longest and its always been tuned down. I have 13-56 on it and with the low tuneing it plays real nice ,not floppy loose and not super tight. If you have a floyd rose with a locking nut you wont need to mess with your nut.

I love the wacky headstock he has on his Tele - a great player too.

i dont like it at all. but lucky for me he doesnt even really use his production model. it must be an old prototype or something (maybe even a regular tele)

Looks like a real giggin' guitar. I'm thinking about leaping bass and bullet hole decals for mine.

I got my axis ss tuned it to d and its a monster. Now I am thinking its time to get a new amp. I have a line 6 flextone and i like the flexability of it. However I have tube envy. What I am looking for is a good clean channel and a tight high gain. If I need a pedal to push it thats ok , but would rather not. 20-50 watts I want to stay with a combo. $1500 max and I dont whant it made in china. Metal unite.
