Product Description

The Axis is a modern classic, adored for its tasteful single-cut body shape, comfortable neck and powerful dual humbuckers. The Sterling Sub version gives you the fundamentals of this popular Music Man guitar design, but at a far more attainable price.

Key Features

  • Lightweight Poplar Body - Poplar is a lightweight variety of Alder, with similar tonal properties. It has a balanced, full-bodied tone with pronounced upper-mids, creating an ideal canvas to sculpt whichever sound you want.
  • Quilted Maple Top - The Quilted Maple gives the guitar a luxurious and mesmerising look. Tonally it also adds some top-end clarity, ensuring your tone will always be articulate and present.
  • Contoured Heel-Joint - The Sub Axis features a deep heel contour on the neck, allowing for unparalleled upper fret access and comfort, for an unrestrictive and premium playing experience.
  • Modern 12" Radius Maple Neck - The tight grain of Maple makes it incredibly strong and silky smooth in the palm. The flat 12" radius enables a low action for a lightning fast and buttery smooth feel.
  • Low-Friction Tremolo - A 2-point fulcrum tremolo has a smooth action for gentle warbles, dynamic flutters or divebombs. With the strings pulling straight through the nut at the perfect break angle, it has exceptional tuning stability.
  • Dual Humbucker Configuration - Humbuckers are versatile pickups that can offer a warm and full clean tone, rich in bass and midrange. Crank up the gain and they will saturate for a fat crunchy tone with tonnes of sustain!

Here's what Music Man say about the Sterling Sub Axis

A staple in the history of iconic guitars, the Axis is a modern encapsulation of guitar innovations. Returning in 2022 with its vibrant quilted maple veneer top, it features a 5-way selector, an asymmetrical neck, and a vintage inspired-tremolo. Experience this reimagining of the Axis in the all-new Spectrum Red.
