The Axis guitar is offered with a roasted, figured maple neck, 22 stainless steel frets, and 2 exciting new finishes: Yucatan Blue and Roasted Amber. The guitar retains the features that have made it a classic such as the ever-comfortable asymmetric neck shape, double-locking tremolo, and custom DiMarzio humbuckers. Available with your choice of flame or quilt maple top over a basswood body, this tonewood/pickup combination is a perfect recipe for hard edge rock tones but also delivers a subtle dynamic response at lower volume levels when needed.
