Rockin’ Hard on Every Axis Engineered for the modern musician, Sterling by Music Man’s Axis guitar is a staple among contemporary rockers and beyond. This…
The lightweight jabon 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 straightforward and the wood is incredibly responsive, resulting in a sonic profile that’s cutting and resounding in clarity.
When it comes to pickups, Sterling doesn’t pull any punches. Two in-house-engineered passive alnico humbuckers have been precision built for flavor and variety, with the capability of dishing out high heat, simmering soul, and everything in between. The 5-way pickup selector allows you to split coils, alongside dedicated volume and tone control knobs, offering a smorgasbord of options to fine-tune your sound. Plus, the fulcrum tremolo will really have your leads singing, with plenty of room for expressive play.
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. A 5-bolt system securely mounts the neck to the body; a generous cutaway means unfettered access to all 22 narrow frets. An asymmetrical neck profile is 1.65 inches at the nut, widening to 2.24 inches at the last fret. The 12-inch fingerboard radius accommodates players of a variety of styles, and the 25.5-inch scale means more compositional flexibility.
