Love the concept, hate the color.

Thankfully...otherwise, I'd be buying a guitar I didn't really need.

Funny, I love the color, hate the concept!

 

[Sweat]

Saw that, thankfully I dislike the color but everything else is cool

 

[beej]

That's pretty cool. I have a soft spot for the colour ... I assume a nod to Jeff Beck's Les Paul.

 

[Razzle]

I like the concept well enough, never really use my neck PU anyway.

Concept is great, thankfully that color does nothing for me or I would be in trouble

I wish they would just make Axis hardtails again. I always regret selling my amber one.

 

[Sweat]

Does it have a binding? cant tell by the pictures.

Same. I had a red one. Granted, I sold it during pandemic when pricing was a bit nuts, but I still regret it.

The other thought is I wish they'd consider a TOM version like EVH and Peavey have done. Just for some variety.

So why does this color look so much better on a quilt top?

I have a red one which I bought new in 1995 which is my main guitar. I also have a sunburst one with a rosewood board which is super rare by all accounts. I had a trans gold one years ago that I really regret selling. I am always on the look out to replace it.

A real guitar has 4 pickups, 3 switches and 2 knobs !

 

[DrKev]

No François, 3 pickups. And a badly installed E string.

More likely, simply not a guitar player, or more focused on getting that burl to pop than worrying about the strings.

No, this guy takes photographs of guitars all day long. He should have guessed that something was wrong.
