Music Man / 30th Anniversary AXIS Trans Black [05]

Axis 30th Anniversary Limited Edition

The Axis celebrates its 30th anniversary. To commemorate this milestone year, a limited-edition collection has been released, featuring a reissue of the iconic translucent finish used at the time of its debut in 1996.

The beautiful hand-stained quilted maple top is available in six colors: gold, black, pink, red, blue, and purple. The body back features a black finish with a subtle sparkle, creating a special finish that subtly echoes the top color.

The specifications faithfully follow the original model’s design. It features a figured maple neck with an asymmetrical neck shape known for its comfortable grip, 22 stainless steel frets, and glow-in-the-dark side position markers that ensure high visibility even on dark stages.

The pickups feature the legendary custom-wound DiMarzio humbuckers, delivering the powerful and responsive sound unique to the Axis.

Furthermore, the headstock is finished to match the body color and features a 30th-anniversary logo, creating a sense of exclusivity unique to this anniversary model. All models come with a Certificate of Authenticity and a deluxe hard-shell case.

This special limited-edition model revives the appeal of the Axis for the modern era while honoring 30 years of history and tradition.
