Full Description
View Full DescriptionRaucous rock tones with remarkable resonance
The humbucker. There's nothing quite like it for bringing a thickness and a beefy edge to your sound. The two DiMarzio medium output humbuckers loaded into the Music Man Axis represent the pinnacle of pickup quality. Because they don't just deliver all of the roaring bark and bite you'd expect from humbuckers - they're also designed to produce more subtle dynamics at lower volume levels. So if you don't want to crank it up, you can still enjoy full, rocking tone. And the pickups are directly mounted to the body, increasing resonance and giving you a bigger, richer sound. Perfect for rock 'n' roll.
Tremolo that's pitch perfect
You don't usually get tremolos this precise. But Music Man have fitted the Axis HH with a special double-locking tremolo bridge, complete with fine tuners. The double-locking feature means you can retain your strings' pitch perfect tuning, knowing that they're locked firmly in place no matter how much you abuse the whammy bar. And fine tuners give you even more control over your pitch, meaning you can tweak your tremolo voice until it's just right.
Straightforward sound - without the hassle
Nobody needs to be faffing around on-stage when they're getting ready to play live. So you'll be glad to know that the Music Man Axis comes equipped with top-quality electronics that are quick and easy to use. 3-way pickup switching lets you change from thick rhythm tones to sharper leads - or somewhere in between. And a single volume knob means there are no complicated controls or dials that are difficult to get to grips with. You can plug in and play with class-leading quality - straight out of the box.
All-maple magnificence
Playability is just as important as sound. And Music Man have fitted the Axis with a marvellous maple neck and fingerboard that come together to deliver a simply stunning playing experience. The slick maple neck is smooth and sleek in your hand, meaning you can quickly glide up and down it without friction. Ideal for up-tempo playing styles. Maple is also a superb fingerboard material, bringing a sharp brightness to your playing while also feeling comfortable beneath your fingertips. You won't want to put this down.
Luxurious natural style
As if all those sensational sound and playability features weren't already enough for you, the Axis Music Man also comes with knockout style that'll leave every audience member gazing at you. Featuring a stunning figured maple top, the natural pattern of the wood is present beneath the natural quilt finish. So you can see all of the traditional, unique elegance of maple. Every model carries a different pattern, meaning you'll be owning a guitar that's truly your own.
