PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Stable double-locking tremolo system The Axis AX50 is fitted with an SBMM-designed double-locking tremolo system that keeps tuning solid even under aggressive use. By locking the strings at both the nut and bridge it minimises movement that can cause tuning issues during dives bends and wide vibrato. This makes it ideal for players who rely on expressive tremolo techniques but still need consistent tuning across long sets rehearsals and repeated takes in the studio. Roasted maple neck and fretboard A roasted maple neck and fretboard give the Axis a smooth broken-in feel straight out of the box. The roasting process improves stability by reducing moisture content in the wood helping the neck better resist changes in temperature and humidity. Its comfortable profile and 12-inch radius support fast lead work and controlled bends while still feeling solid under the hand for chord playing and rhythm parts. Powerful humbuckers with simple controls Two alnico humbuckers provide the Axis with a full punchy sound that works well for both clean and driven tones. The bridge pickup delivers clarity and bite for cutting leads while the neck pickup offers warmth and body for smoother passages. A single volume control and three-way toggle switch keep things intuitive letting you shape your sound quickly without distraction and focus on dynamics phrasing and performance. Distinctive Axis styling The quilted maple veneer top gives the Axis its bold visual character enhanced by the Honey Pot finish and matching headstock. This combination creates a premium look that stands out on stage without feeling overdone. Clean hardware lines and the absence of a pickguard keep the design sleek and modern making the guitar feel purposeful and confident while still retaining a timeless appeal that suits a wide range of players.
