Musicman started as Leo Fender's second brand and has captivated many musicians with its innovative designs.
Musicman has been used by guitarists all over the world including John Petrucci, Steve Lukather, Steve Morse, and many others.
This model is the AXIS EX, one of their flagship models.
This model was originally introduced as a signature model of the late Edward Van Halen, but when his contract ended, the name was changed to AXIS and it was produced.
This model is called the EX series, and is a hybrid version that was carefully produced in Japan and uses the same hardware as the original USA-made model.
The workshop in Japan involved in the production of this model is High End Guitars, which is known for its work on Valley Arts models made in Japan.
The High End Guitars model had the same selector position as the EVH signature model, so in terms of looks, it was closer to the original than the USA model, which was a great feature for the fans.
The High End Guitars model was only produced for a short period of time right after the AXIS EX was introduced, and is now a rare and highly prized piece.
The body back is made of alder and the top is made of luxurious one-piece maple.
The top maple has a quilted grain that gives it a very beautiful look.
The neck is flame maple.
The neck grip is asymmetrically shaped for high playability, which is useful when playing technical phrases.
The pickups are Dimarzio USA N1 and B1.
The powerful and crisp sound makes you want to distort it deeply and play it zakzak-zak.
The bridge is equipped with a locking tremolo unit.
Dynamic arming is now possible, further expanding the range of expression.
The looks, sound, and playability are all of high quality, and we recommend this guitar not only to EVH fans but also to guitarists of all kinds.
