The Axis Super Sport guitar is offered with a roasted, figured maple neck, 22 stainless steel frets, in four exciting new finishes: Honey Pot, Matcha Green, Charcoal Cloud, and Olallieberry. The Super Sport retains all the classic features, including the ever-comfortable asymmetric neck shape, proprietary Ernie Ball Music Man vintage tremolo with locking Schaller tuners, 5-way switch, volume/tone controls, 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.
