Musicman Axis Super Sport MM90 - Special Offer

New Special Offer - was £1699 - Now £1499

Materials: Basswood body with an enticing quilted maple top plus cream body binding - Bolt on birds eye maple neck plus rosewood fingerboard.

Hardware: All chrome hardware including a Musicman vintage tremolo system, incorporating solid steel bridge saddles - Schaller M6 locking machine heads with pearloid tuning buttons - MM90 vintage "soapbar" single coil pickups + "silent circuit" to eliminate hum yet retain true single coil tone - 3 way selector switch + master volume and tone pots.

Additional Notes: Appetizing looks with a prolific playing performance is what this Axis Super Sport is all about - Decked out in a classic honeyburst finish and in this instance, with a natural finished headstock facia, allowing you to see the beauty of the birds eye maple - Playing a Musicman neck is certainly one of life's greatest thrills - You get "rolled" fingerboard edges, 22 medium jumbo frets with a 10" radius rosewood fingerboard, finished with a gunstock oil and a hand rubbed special wax blend to give you that nice played in feel - The vibe of the neck is Strat influenced, but still unique to a Musicman, as it has more of a comfortable D profile - The action is fast, fluid and well balanced throughout the length of the fingerboard - Some guitars are a challenge to play, this is just a walk in the park no matter what your musical taste are, from playing soulful blues licks or burning off your favourite party tricks

Plug it and listen to the tone - The MM90 single coil pickups can be described as beauty and the beast - On clean settings you get rich, smooth and full bodied tones, dripping in clarity with a nice musical zip about it - The neck pick-up sounds like one of the best Hendrix Little Wing tones you'll hear - Add a touch of overdrive for subtle rock/blues playing, or kick in the high gain settings for the 'beast' to come alive - The big plus point of a soapbar pickup , is that you get all the tonal quality and clarity of a single coil pickup, but with more body and depth - Additionally as a P90 is a touch larger than a Strat pickup, you get more windings, hence increased output, allowing you to compete with vintage flavoured humbuckers - Hence lush, creamy tones from a neck pickup thru' to scorching lead tones and great harmonics from the bridge pick-up - Ample tonal variety available for pop, rock, blues, country and even jazz styles, makes this a great workhorse which I believe is a vastly under-rated guitar - List price is now in excess of �1,800 including a deluxe Musicman hard case - This represents outstanding value for a guitar with custom shop build quality and impeccable attention to detail - Yet we can offer the guitar for sale at only �1,699 - I almost forgot to mention that it weighs in at under 8lbs, so you can keep it round your neck for ages and enjoying that playing experience - Other colour options available, with or without rosewood neck, so call to discuss.
