Hi guys,
I'm looking for an Axis guitar, preferably an original EBMM, but there are not many locally. I found on the local classified one that could be an original, but I'm not sure; hence I need your help identifying it.
I've been wanting one for years, but I could never found one in my price range. And I was not too sure about buying an OLP or a Sterling.
I've attached the pictures from the ad and I have a few observations:
It is not my dream guitar, as I had imagined with an all maple neck-fretboard, a flame or quilted top and a lighter (orangy) color; but this is what I could find and for the price, I would not let it pass. BUT ONLY, and ONLY if it is an original EBMM. I have no interest in a fake guitar, and if it were an OLP or a Sterling, I would think about it.
What do you think?
Cheers
Walt

I've attached the pictures from the ad and I have a few observations:
- The top is not flamed maple, but I don't know if this is optional
- The neck is not figured but seems plain maple, I also don't know if this is optional
- The locking parts are missing from the nut, I guess this can be replaced.
- The headstock says "Ernie Ball MUSICMAN Axis Super Sport", to my knowledge the AXIS comes with HH locking trem and a single volume, but the SUPER SPORT, has a normal trem and tone control. Again, I don't know if this is optional.
- Says it has Seymour Duncan pickups, I know the AXIS comes with Cusmot DIMARZIOS, but pickups can be easily changed. Any idea where to get another DIMARZIO?
