OK kids Im up in SLO for Guitar Center training videos yesterday and then met the wonderful partners from Japan Kanda Shokai...THey brought some of the most influential Japanese dealers and some of the Japanese music press...
here is a shot or two from dinner...first one is me taking a pic of them taking a pic of us and the second is the EB team jerseys we had made for them


ANd now some torture....An Axis natural with "Roasted Maple" THis is acool way of mellowing the wood and giving it a really nice smokey color The necks are crazy too!
 
Looks cool.....but who would want a natural Axis.....

(jack looks at his own avatar)

Oh, never mind.......can you do that on an MM90 Al?
 
The figuring is even more dynamic with that roasted tint...that is a looker!

Makes me almost want to "roast" my Natural Super Sport.
 
AWESOME!!!! I "love" pic's!!!! Keep em' coming BP!!

That Axis is incredible!!!


Oh, and don't forget to show them your classic cars!:)
 
the roasted wood thing is very promising. These guys have got it going on. alot of R&D, some great ideas.

all i need to be complete is a 2 humbucker AL and a tri tip sandwich.
 
i Likey the Roasty

sort of a city or medium brown roast, good for varietal character with a little bittersweet. Probably provides a slightly wild, earthy quality but with balance, complexity and finishes with spicy overtones.
:)
 
mmmmmmmmmm, roasted maple.

And I must say BP, you look like your getting really lean and mean. Is JP giving you some pointers?

So it mellows the sound? makes it silkier? Do tell. By roasting the maple does it accelerate the aging and give the sound of a aged guitfiddle? I would think it would stabilize the wood to some degree.

Ok So give me a roasted neck chambered gamechanger axis SS hardtail set up like a 25th in ice blue metalic.

Oh when o when will they land sensei ?!;)
 
Roasted maple?

Hmmmmm. Sounds very cool. Perhaps my resistance will weaken and I will pry the pigg-bank apart in the future .... d'oh! Just when I thought I had put a cap on my spending for the rest of this decade :D:eek::D:rolleyes::cool:

cheers always, eh
