Musicman started as Leo Fender's second brand and captivated many musicians with its innovative design.
It's beloved by guitarists worldwide, including John Petrucci, Steve Lukather, and Steve Morse.
This model is their flagship AXIS EX.
It was introduced as the signature model of the late Edward Van Halen, but when his contract with the company came to an end, the name was changed to AXIS and production began again.
This instrument is part of the EX series, a hybrid version that is carefully produced in Japan and uses the same hardware as the original USA-made model.
The Japanese workshop that produced this instrument is High-End Guitars, known for producing Valley Arts' Japanese-made models, among other things.
The High-End Guitars model had the same selector position as the EVH signature model, making it closer to the original in appearance than the USA model and featuring features that fans will love.
The High-End Guitars model was produced for only a short period, shortly after the AXIS EX was introduced, making it a highly sought-after instrument today.
The body back is made of alder, and the top is a luxurious one-piece maple.
The maple top has a quilted grain, giving it a beautiful appearance.
The neck is flame maple.
The asymmetrical neck grip provides excellent playability and is ideal for playing technical phrases.
The pickups are Dimarzio USA N1 and B1.
The powerful, crisp sound makes you want to deeply distort it and play it with gusto.
The bridge is equipped with a locking tremolo unit.
This allows for dynamic arm movements, further expanding the range of expression.
With high quality in looks, sound, and playability, this is an instrument we recommend not only to EVH fans but to a wide range of guitarists as well.
