ErikH made me do it....

Re: ErikH made me do it....

XSSIVE, I hear you re ErikH: He made me improve my Marshall. :jester:
 
Re: ErikH made me do it....

So i was tossing and turning about buying this Axis for two days now (i've had an itch for one for years to be honest) when i decided to leave it all in one persons hands and ask Erik what he thought. granted i know damn well Erik is a EVH fan and a fan of the EBMM EVH and Axis guitars so i knew what his answer would be....but it's still nice to blame him for making me spend the money anyway LOL.

i just bought it 5 minutes ago and it ships to me Monday from NJ so it should get here to NY quick then i can give a review and take better pics. for now join me in drooling over the sellers pics of this beauty...

Absolutely stunningly gorgeous! :dance:
 
Re: ErikH made me do it....

Man that's an awesome Finish.I can't get along with those 21/22 fret guitars ,but the finish is just so amazing....
 
Re: ErikH made me do it....

That'll give you something to put those D'Addario 9s on, they just work so well on those.

Sweet guitar, I regret selling my purple Axis.
 
Re: ErikH made me do it....

Everytime I go to the 'Guitar section' I'm thinking, what's XSSIVE up to? LOL

Good to see I'm not disapointed. I can see why you couldn't resist that one. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a sweeter Musicman!
 
Re: ErikH made me do it....

Is it me or does Xssive and Vinterland have like some of the sweetest axes here?
 
Re: ErikH made me do it....

Well, Mike, it's official - I hate you.

:chairfall

I don't think I've seen that color before. Beautiful guitar!


Of course, now when I come up there to steal your copper LP this will be there to distract me. I wonder how fast I can run with TWO guitars in my hands. :laugh2:

Enjoy it, man.

Erik would know!!!! man i have been thinking of getting one of those someday soon as well... I may sell some stuff this summer to get one.. but i'll try and save as much cash before i do sell something...
 
Re: ErikH made me do it....

devastone: thanks man...but 9s??? for love of God NO WAY this puppy is getting my usual custom gauge of 10,13,17,28,38,49. i can't play thin strings like 9s guitars just feel like buzz boxes to me with those kid size strings lol. i even have my 5yr old nephew playing 10s already LOL.

GJ: thanks bro! this trans orange flame was just damn sexy and i had to have it. i've always wanted an axis but never found the right one 'til i saw this one. if i dig it i may pick up a solid gloss black one down the road since i always liked them in black..nice clean and simple.

tone and daemon: thanks for the kind words on all my guitars. since i built half of them and didn't just buy cool ones that means a lot!

Jackson: thanks man...i haven't seen many in trans orange either. plus flame tops in general seem to be much less common and i MUCH rather have the flame over a quilt. keep in mind we also have a large gun collection at the house so getting out with the guitars will be real tricky without a few extra holes in you LOL.

whofan: i've always wanted on of these and have played quite a few....even had my hands on a few owned and played on tour by EVH himself when this was the EVH model. there just aren't many better made guitars out there IMO. these are in the top class of quality IMO and that's the only reason i considered buying one so i say go for it!!

Re: ErikH made me do it....

By the way Mike did ya get it yet??

I totally want pics of the backside of that fricken neck. that is what sits in your hand all comfy like!
Those necks are THE best.
 
Re: ErikH made me do it....

For the record..............again.............. I didn't make him do it. :6: :lmao:






That is such an awesome looking guitar. I'm listening to For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge now and man, I just love the stuff he pulled off with that axe.
