The Ernie Ball Music Man Axis Super Sport electric guitar gives serious musicians a high-performance ax for crafting a hard-rock sound. Its quilt maple top with a sleek satin finish on a basswood body provides balanced warmth and clarity, while a roasted maple neck offers stability and playability. DiMarzio humbucking pickups deliver a powerful tone that cuts through a mix.

Premium Tonewoods Shape Your Sound

The Axis Super Sport's quilt maple top and basswood body give you resonant lows, crisp highs and singing sustain. The lightweight basswood allows the maple top's figure to influence the tone, producing complex overtones. A five-bolt neck joint maximizes vibration transfer between the neck and body for full, rich sound. This thoughtful tonewood selection helps you forge a hard-rock voice all your own.

A Fast Neck Keeps up with Your Playing

The roasted maple neck on the Axis Super Sport gives you speed and stability. Its smooth satin finish and oval contour fill your fretting hand, while 22 stainless steel frets provide a low, even playing surface. The longer 25.5" scale length adds tautness for serious riffing and lead work. A truss rod adjustment wheel at the body end lets you tweak neck relief with precision. Overall, this neck design will inspire your best hard-rock performances.

High-Output Pickups for Expressive Control

DiMarzio humbucking pickups are known for highly responsive performance and dynamic range. They give you crystal clear cleans, punchy rhythms and searing leads with excellent string-to-string balance. Control your sound with the volume and tone knobs, choosing just the right amount of warmth or bite. A five-way blade switch gives you access to full humbucking, split and parallel options for maximum tonal variety.

Modern Playability and Style

The Axis Super Sport has a stylish silhouette and modern features for serious shredding. Its double cutaway basswood body gives you full access to the upper frets. A recessed Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo system handles radical pitch bends and dive bombs with stability. Black hardware provides an imposing look. Overall, the Axis Super Sport is a high-performance guitar built to inspire the dedicated hard rocker. Visit your local Guitar Center today to experience its sonic power and fast, ergonomic feel.
