Engineered for the modern musician, Sterling by Music Man's Axis guitar is a staple among contemporary rockers and beyond. This axe is all killer no filler, with a basswood body, a hard maple neck, and a jatoba fingerboard for a sound that’s clear, crisp, and never lacking in presence. Of course, it doesn’t stop with the looks, thanks to the dual-humbucker setup and the 5-way selector, allowing you to dial in a variety of tones across all 22 frets. The asymmetrical neck and generous cutaway ensure comfortable, accommodating access throughout. Sweetwater’s guitar gurus agree that players with a pension for panache will appreciate that fulcrum tremolo, providing ample room for expressive play, and the accompanying nut to keep your tones buzz-free.
