Originally called the Edward Van Halen model, the Axis has been a favorite of many professional guitar players who demand great tonal variety with minimum fuss, comfort and superior construction at a price that doesn't kill the pocket book. The Super Sport is a slightly different model, utilizing a vintage style trem and an expanded electronics package. The custom Dimarzio humbuckers give up supreme "brown sound" tone and the 5 way switch allows for some nice "faux Strat" tones from the dual humbuckers. The neck is a favorite of players (including females) who prefer a smaller, early 60's "C" shape and the vintage dual pivot trem and locking tuners allow for dive bombs without having to resort to a Floyd Rose. Best of all, the Axis Super Sport is downright gorgeous, using premium tone woods and maple tops that easily rival the very best custom guitars without paying custom prices. Without a doubt, these guitars are some of the best bang for the buck axes out there, offering superior construction, smart ergonomics and great tone at an affordable price. Comes with a specially designed SKB built case that allows the user to keep the trem arm installed when closing the case! It may seem like a small feature, but the working guitar player will appreciate it.
