The 2021 Ernie Ball Music Man Axis guitar features a beautiful quilt book-matched maple top over a lightweight basswood body. Two medium output custom DiMarzio humbuckers are mounted directly to the body for optimum resonance and signal response. 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. An asymmetric hard rock maple neck allows for comfortable hand positions across all 22 frets, while the option of vintage-style tremolo and locking Schaller tuners or a double locking Music Man Floyd Rose tremolo keeps the guitar perfectly in tune.
