Tools for an AXIS

[Yrless]

Does anyone know where I can purchase the original tools and extras that came with an AXIS brand new? I don't see them for sale on the EB site.

The original allen wrenches can be found at a hardware store. The original polish cloth can be found in your old sock and underware drawer. The original springs are on any luthier bench should you need them.

As far as the wrenches, hook yourself up with one of these:

Best $20 I ever spent; the only gripe is not to rely on the string cutter on that guy; it's crap. I use a pair of pliers with the wire snip grips in the middle.

Thanks for the recommendation Darrell. Do you happen to know if the AXIS came with only the 3 springs or did they provide any extras?

I would think that the springs should come with the guitar. When I got my first Axis WAY back in the day (before I "downgraded" to the EVH LOL!), the guitar came with a little plastic pouch that had some extra springs in it.

If you got this via a retailer, I'd go down and have a nice little heart to heart with them, and hopefully walk out with some in hand. If not, you could get them at a guitar shop otherwise, I'd imagine.

If you're broke, like me (LOL), I could send you some.

It was bought "as is". Nothing at all wrong with it. It just didn't have a case, springs or wrenches. It has 3 springs mounted, but I wasn't sure if anymore come with it. In the event I ever need one, I guess I can pick one up then. Thanks again for the recommendation on the roadie rench. I picked one up. It's a pretty cool tool (sans the cutter (you are correct)).

3 should do ya plenty, unless you're planning to drop the trem bar with a C-clamp!

Glad to hear that the RR is working out for you too...now just get you a REAL pair of wire snips, and you're golden.
