will i find an original axis neck plate?

[thrantir]

Hello everybody

I've just bought a second hand axis, and I love it!

but, unfortunately, it misses its original neck plate, the one I bought from don't know when it was removed, it was that way since he bought it from the shop

so, there is a way I canf find an original one?

Try to contact customer service but I doubt you can get original neck plate with serial number. From time to time you have some on EBay maybe you can try there

Can you show us a picture of your current neck plate? maybe that's an original EBMM like the one they used on the sub model (no serial number but with a music man logo) then you don't have to worry about anything

Another option could be to get this part from Sterling by MM

Oh and I forgot welcome to this place

hi threeminutesboy, thanks for your reply!

I've already contacted the customer shop and they told me they sell neck plate only if you can send back the original one...

here the pics, strangely, there is a serial no on it

thanks for your reply!

the customer service sells neck plate only on returning the original one so they cannot help me :-(

here some pics of this plate. Strangely there is a serial number on it

it seems my previous messages were not approved :-(

the customer service cannot help me as they sell new neck plates only on returning the original one...

the strange thing is on the neck plate there is a serial number, its:

As mentioned, EBMM does not sell proprietary parts unless they're a direct replacement. This includes necks, bridges and also neck plates.

Your best bet is to ask the previous owner for the plate. If it's long gone, you'll have to live without one, or perhaps have one made that's a similar size.

^^This!

Get a small brass plate made up, get it engraved with something personal, then have it chrome plated.

It'll be functional, look good, and make that axe even more special.

Do you have any pics of what you have right now at the neck/body joint? And where are you based?

Or he could get one made out of solid stainless steel and polish it.

True, and would look great.

Was just thinking of keeping the chrome theme.
