{"product_id":"1990s-ernie-ball-music-man-axis-ex-translucent-gold-quilt-top-evh","title":"1990s Ernie Ball Music Man Axis EX Translucent Gold Quilt Top, EVH","description":"Up for sale, a circa 1997 Ernie Ball Music Man “Axis EX” in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. An extremely unique example that’s sure to be a head scratcher for more than a few EBMM and EVH enthusiasts, this Axis EX model retails a factory EVH signature on the headstock, while the A-prefix serial number range is generally attributed to production circa 1997. Produced in Japan, this guitar essentially mirrors the USA-made EVH model in its appearance and spec, with a pair of custom wound DiMarzo pickups, a genuine Floyd Rose tremolo, and a deeply figured quilted maple top with a gloss Translucent Gold finish.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWeighing 7lbs 12oz, tonewoods include a basswood body and a select flame maple neck capped by a thick slab maple fretboard. The custom pair of DiMarzio humbuckers were wound specifically for this signature model and not offered elsewhere; these pickups are mounted directly to the body for optimal resonance, dishing out plenty of articulate cut and sweet sustain, with more growl and attitude from the bridge pickup and a nice thick, round sounding neck pickup. This Axis\/Eddie Van Halen signature model has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Flame maple\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Medium C, measuring .825” 1st fret, .945” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Maple slab, 10” radius\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Medium, faint wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-4\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 25 1\/2”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 5\/8”, locking\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Schaller\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Quilted maple, basswood\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: DiMarzio humbucker x2 (custom wound)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume, Three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\n-Harness: CTS 500k pot\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Floyd Rose tremolo\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: Strat-style knob\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: A-prefix (neck plate)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe gloss Translucent Gold finish highlights deep and consistent quilt figuring extending across the top, with faint buckle scuffing on the back and a few minor nicks and finish scratches on the body.
