I bought a Sterling AX40d and it is pretty good for what i paid($425 brand new). It Has the USA Custom wound Dimarzio's and a pretty good Copy of the Gotoh 1996T. Overall it is a very good guitar BUT i have really wanted a genuine AXIS for a long time now and may finally be getting one in a few months. Of all the EVH signature guitars the AXIS is my favorite. The original EVH one has too narrow a neck for me(along the frets) and i do not like where the toggle switch is.
Thanks for the deep dive. I've been an EVH nerd since 1983. I'm building an Axis clone and would like to know the distance between the pickups and the strings. Your assistance is greatly appreciated! Thanks. 😊
Hi buddy, great info in the video, I am about to customise a Sterling AX4 into this guitar, do you have any info on the amber stain or know what would be close match. I'm going to add a quilted maple top and want to get the amber stain as close as possible. Thanks
I used turmeric with warm water. If you look on Instagram there are some pictures on my page. You want it to be lighter before the clear goes over it as it will darken up if you use oil based poly. Complete build on Instagram EBMMEVH
Call Musicman in SLO. Billy Imperial will give you the specs. Be careful bringing that guitar to anyone. I wouldn’t let anyone touch any of my guitars. Super easy to setup. Lots of Musicman RU-vid setup videos.
