Tobacco Burst Axis

Thanks...I saw that tobacco burst one on ebay. The pictures aren't that great (for color)...but they help.
The owner put that guitar, and a cherry burst axis on e-bay a few weeks ago. Starting bid for each was $1,500. Nobody bought either one....so he's at it again (using the same starting bid). Not sure what the guy is thinking.

There's a Vintage Sunburst Axis Super Sport at www.atlantamusicbrokers.com I don't really know what the difference with the tobacco and the vinage sunburst is. They look pretty much the same to me.

I wish I had pics of mine.
I bought a hardtail quilted tobacco burst axis supersport with hums and piezo from atlanta music brokers about a year ago.
The most beautiful ball I own.
The tobacco burst goes yellow to brown.
Vintage sunburst goes yellow to orangy red to black.
You will be floored when it comes.

Thanks, fellas. It's taken at least 3 months so far....and I'm DYING to get it.
Keith...does yours look a lot like the tobacco burst on MusicMan's site? I'm sure it looks better in person. I ordered the exact same guitar (sport, hums, hardtail, piezo, etc).

Haven't seen their picture in a while in regards to the question.
I can say it is a beautiful guitar to look at. Very easy to play, and comfortable as hell all around. It's light as a feather, too.
My main issues are in terms of tone. I tend to like emg's. I'm more a Luke player.
There is also a huge volume drop when splitting coils by using positions 2&4 compared to humbucker position(s).
If you do any fingerpicking, you're gonna absolutely LOVE the piezo. It sounds great blended in, especially positions 2 and 4.
The guys at atlanta music brokers emailed me pics of it which was the clincher for me...then it arrived a week later and was even more beautiful than the pics.
You'll be quite happy, I'm sure.

PS Mine has a rosewood fingerboard.

Steve, I'm sure that your top will look much nicer than the AMB Axis, since you ordered the custom top.
I have the piezo on my Super Sport and I love it Mine also has hums, but I have the tremolo (don't know why, I very rarely use it).
