This case serves it's purpose for sure. My friend (semi-gear rodie) just last week gave mine the once-over with about a 5 ft. drop from a 30 ft. truck trailer and to my supprise (or just my luck)...not a scratch at all. And what matters is that nothing inside was affected; not even out of tune. I... |
| Liked about it: |
Absolute tank rugged construction. The new styiling in the mold is a nice touch too tho I miss the older leather like texture, this one shows why it's top dog on the block. The interior is sick. Extra compartments that seem fomr fitted for your needs. The blue shagg(ish) material is on par with the... |
| Didn't like: |
Nothings to dis-like about it. Just took some adapting from my older guitar "bed mates"...don't take that the wrong way. This is about a case ya... |

| Sound: |
The sounds you can get from this amp are amazing. It leaves you with lots of tone controls for each channel and a master section with mid-cut, presence and depth regulation. Each channel has 3 characteristics you can select with a switch and you can expand the 3-way EQ for each channel with the... |
| Reliability: |
No problems so far. I always wondered if the footswitch cable was up to the job, but so far it lasted months of gigging. |
| Customer Support: |
It was purchased through Musik Schmidt in Germany, so I only have experience with their customer support, which is absolutely great. |
| Liked about it: |
Very versatile amp.
Nice own character.
Can be customized (mine came with brown saddle leather) |
| Didn't like: |
It is a bit hard to dial in sounds, because of the many possibilities.
Did not find other things. |

| Sound: |
his is one of the nicest guitars made today in my opinion. It sound lush and full, even unplugged. Plugged in it has a clear sweet high end, and thick low end. Mid range is perfect, but has a small emphasis on lower mids.
The basswood body with maple top and maple/maple neck makes for a nice... |
| Action, Fit, & Finish: |
Most people got their first look at this guitar as the EVH model from Music Man. The Axis is what the company continued to produce after the EVH model was discontinued. It is pretty much the same guitar with only minor differences. The differences being, the Axis features a cutaway around the belly... |
| Reliability & Durability: |
The guitar is constructed to high tolerances and I've gigged with an Axis regularly without a single problem. I would not hesitate to take a Music Man guitar on a world tour.
The guitar is tough as nails, and should last forever as long as you look after it.
On thing to be mindful of is... |
| Customer Support: |
THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE INDUSTRY. Enough said. You will never be left hanging by Ernie Ball/Music Man. They will bend over backwards to ensure the customer is happy. |
| Liked about it: |
Tone is amazing. Overall feel of the guitar is fantastic. Playability is fantastic. It looks a little unique, it is edgy and classy at the same time.
|
| Didn't like: |
As much as I like the neck and fretboard, I do find it a bit too thick for me. The fretboard radius was a little rounder than I like. I tend to prefer thinner, flatter necks (Ibanez). I would absolutely love an Axis with a JP model neck or something similar.
I didn't find the guitar to be... |

| Sound: |
The sound was to me very typical. Not too much I couldn't get from one of my others. I own 11 guitars but claim less as my main gear. Very strat like in sound but lacking in the area of tuning reliability. |
| Action, Fit, & Finish: |
Out of the store, it was great. Thought I may have a new one to add to the lineup. Only a couple of adjustments needed (action, intonation). Finish was good but seemed to have a "Mass-Pro" quality to it even though almost all are, this one kinda showed it. "First impressions are..." |
| Reliability & Durability: |
This is where it fell through the floor for me. Something went wrong with the pups and I have yet to find out what. This was (and is) always a major issue for electrics. Not sure how to describe it, but the mids went out, then the volume kicked back and apparently went on vacation, and is yet to... |
| Customer Support: |
Called Dealer and they forwareded it to customer support. So I was 2nd? party. All words say normal condition in certain climates (which must be the colder regions. Didn't make sense to me. |
| Liked about it: |
Looks progressive, has a good strat like sound with something added |
| Didn't like: |
The sound fell apart on me, as did basically the rest of the guitar which was told to me that it was normal, though none of my others have shown anything like that (LP, 12 strin acoustic, 6 Ibanez RG based designs) all in tip top shape and playability. |

| Sound: |
I use an Ibanez Proline 2550 (alder), and a Fernandes Dragonfly Elite (mahogany). I run through a board with around 7 effects. My previous amp was a Mesa Boogie F30 (great amp, decided I want something different). Let me start by saying I only run it in 20 watt mode. I've heard complaints that... |
| Reliability: |
I've had no problems so far. |
| Customer Support: |
Support is through Line6 which was a bit of a headache to deal with. I bought the amp open box, and tried to contact them to see if it had still had a warranty. Simple question. Not exactly, I had to speak to a few different people before I got an answer (yes it is). |
| Liked about it: |
I love the fact that all four modes are very useable. I love all the tones in this amp. I really like the 20 watt switch. |
| Didn't like: |
I wish you could switch the modes via the footswitch. |

| Sound: |
I bought my Ibanez S7320 back in the summer of 2008 with full knowledge that I would be changing out the pickups. There was a guitar that I'd had my eye on for quite a while, the Ibanez UV777 "Universe", which I got to play once. That guitar fetches quite a premium price. I'd heard GREAT things... |
| Action, Fit, & Finish: |
The guitar had already been set up from the factory very well. I lowered the action just slightly and found my sweet spot. The intonation seems just fine. The ZR tremolo was a really nice thing to experience. Having that hinge makes the trem movement really smoothly. Plus the stiffness adds... |
| Reliability & Durability: |
Mainly I'm using this guitar in my home studio. I might gig with it at some point, as I do have various 6-strings as backups. Gigging without a backup? I'd never do that with any guitar that has a tremolo. But the guitar is well constructed, the parts are high quality and it has been reliable so... |
| Liked about it: |
* Harmonics
* Comfortable neck
* Very thick sound |
| Didn't like: |
* I'd love it if it were available in some other color options other than black & white. |
