Engineered for the modern musician, Sterling by Music Man's Axis guitar is a staple among contemporary rockers and beyond. This axe is designed to dazzle, with a striking flame maple top adorning a poplar body, paired with a hard maple neck and fingerboard for a sound that’s projective, clear, and never lacking in presence. Of course, it doesn’t stop with the looks, thanks to the dual-humbucker setup and the 5-way selector, allowing you to dial in a variety of tones across all 22 frets. The asymmetrical neck and generous cutaway ensure comfortable, accommodating access throughout. The lightweight poplar body provides a sturdy sonic foundation, topped with a flame maple veneer, imparting a bright, balanced sound across all six strings with a distinctive warmth. In the neck and fingerboard, hard maple does the heavy lifting. You’ll experience fantastic note separation with excellent sustain and projection, remaining tight in every register for a clear, articulate sound. The overtones are straight forward and the wood is incredibly responsive, resulting in a sonic profile that’s cutting and resounding in clarity. Not just tonally impressive, the hard maple neck is structurally resilient, being notably resistant to twisting and warping. This makes it a great choice for gigging musicians, rockers on the road, or anyone in a humid climate that might appreciate less time with their truss rod.
