STERLING BY MUSIC MAN AXIS
RRP: $895 • cmcmusic.com.au
The Axis AX3 borrows the classic single‑cutaway body style of Music Man’s Axis guitars. An original, classic design that is familiar to all fans of great guitars. The SUB Series version uses a solid hardwood body topped with a bound quilt maple image top. The neck and body are mated with the same five‑bolt neck joint found on the Silo3, sculpted and contoured for a super comfortable joint that allows easy access to the upper register.
The Asymmetrical neck carve on AX3 is sublime, and has plenty of girth for grip while remaining thin enough for easy playability. The 25.5‑inch scale maple neck and fingerboard has 22 medium sized frets, and is super easy to play. The neck is seamlessly integrated onto the body. Two high‑output Zebra coil humbucking pickups are directly mounted to the body. The special wiring of these pickups offer five distinct, versatile tones via the five‑way selector switch. Different combinations yield everything from chicken pickin’ single‑coil tones to huge, throaty humbucking rock tones. No matter what you’re looking for, the Axis AX3 has it all there in one guitar.
