Personal Thoughts:
Early-2000s Axis guitars remain some of the most desirable examples of this model, sitting firmly in the post-EVH era while retaining everything that made the original design so revered. Simple, brutally effective, and unmistakably Music Man.
The Natural Flame finish shows off a beautifully figured maple top without tipping into excess — understated, classy, and very much in keeping with the Axis ethos. The maple neck and fingerboard give this guitar a fast, immediate feel, with a snappy attack and excellent note separation.
Tonally, the Axis humbuckers are a huge part of the appeal. They’re hot, direct, and incredibly responsive, excelling at high-gain work while still cleaning up surprisingly well via the volume control. Paired with the Floyd Rose, this is a guitar that begs to be played hard — stable, aggressive, and incredibly fun.
A no-nonsense, performance-driven instrument that has aged extremely well.
