How does the cheaper Ernie Ball Axis compare to its predecessor the Music Man EVH?
That is what I asked Rollie Delgado who was head guitar tech at Ernie Ball from 1991 to 2000 and worked on thousands of these guitars. Here is what he said: “The only differences between the Axis and the EVH signature are: The pickup switch was moved from the horn to down next to the volume knob; The axis also has a body bevel on the back, which the EVH does not; The neck width above the twelfth fret is also slightly wider on the AXIS. Pickups are the same as the EVH. Finally, The electronics routing on the AXIS is also a little different. If you look on the back of both and compare, the cavities are different. Other than that they are the same, same tone and feel. And the AXIS is much cheaper!” Dave Barry Electric Guitar Piece This is a Dave Barry piece from 1998 that I ran across that I thought was pretty funny for any of us “older” electric guitar enthusiasts.
