collapse expand iconDescription

The Ernie Ball Music Man Axis Super Sport electric guitar provides a premium playing experience with boutique-level appointments. Designed for discerning rock guitarists, its basswood body topped with a gorgeous quilt maple cap resonates with full, balanced tone. The roasted maple neck offers a smooth feel and stability, while the stainless steel frets provide precision intonation for expressive lead work. With its sleek satin finish, the Axis Quilt Top is an inspiring instrument for serious musicians seeking a timeless design and tone.

Premium Tonewoods Shape Your Tone

The figured maple top adds aesthetic flair while enhancing high-end resonance. Paired with the basswood body, you'll get focused lows, open mids and crystalline highs. This tonewood combination has been used in countless rock guitars, ensuring you'll achieve a balanced and familiar tone. The lightweight roasted maple neck also contributes to the Axis Quilt Top's resonant and sustaining character. Overall, these premium tonewoods make this guitar an inspiring instrument for shaping your signature sound.

Roasted Maple Neck Promotes Speed and Accuracy

The roasted maple neck provides stability and a fast playing surface. The roasting process hardens the maple, reducing humidity-related warping while giving it a caramel hue. The C-shaped profile fills your hand with an ideal combination of comfort and dexterity. Medium stainless steel frets are highly durable and intonate well, allowing you to execute hammer-ons, pull-offs and bends with precision. The Axis neck inspires confidence for complex lead work at any tempo.

Premium Pickups Dial in Iconic Tone

The Axis Super Sport comes loaded with a pair of DiMarzio humbucking pickups that pump out a wide range of rock tones from smooth cleans to all-out distortion. With a three-way toggle switch, you can activate the neck pickup for warm, rounded tone, the bridge pickup for aggressive bite or combine them for fat, harmonically rich sound. The volume and tone controls allow you to shape the pickups to your needs whether recording or performing live.

Rock-Solid Hardware Provides Stability

This guitar features high-quality hardware designed to handle the demands of rock playing night after night. The innovative Axis tremolo bridge offers stable tuning and a smooth feel for expressive pitch-bending effects. Locking tuners help keep the guitar in tune through heavy use while adding a touch of elegance with their pearl buttons. A contoured heel provides unimpeded access to the upper frets so you can blaze through solos without limits.
