Music Man 30th Anniversary Axis Electric Guitar in Translucent Black Quilt

To celebrate 30 years of the iconic Axis, Music Man has wound the clock back to the translucent finishes that made its 1996 debut so unforgettable. The 30th Anniversary Axis sports a hand-stained Quilted Maple top, paired with a sleek black back lightly dusted with sparkle — a subtle detail that perfectly complements each vibrant colour.

Built for feel, built for tone

Under the hood, this Axis is pure pedigree. A beautifully Figured Maple neck features stainless steel frets, glow-in-the-dark side dots and the original asymmetrical neck carve that players fell in love with back in the day. Add the legendary custom-wound DiMarzio pickups, and you’ve got the unmistakable Axis feel and sound in all its glory.

Limited, loaded & collectable

Topped off with a colour-matched headstock, a commemorative 30th Anniversary Axis logo on the rear and limited to just 100 guitars worldwide, this is a seriously special instrument. It ships with a certificate of authenticity and a deluxe Music Man hardshell case too (because guitars like this deserve the VIP treatment).

• Basswood body with Quilted Maple top: A tried‑and‑tested tonewood pairing that delivers sweet balance, focused mids and plenty of attack. The hand‑stained Quilted Maple top looks stunning and really pops under the lights.
• Figured Maple neck with asymmetrical profile: Instantly familiar and ridiculously comfortable, the original asymmetrical “C” carve fits naturally in the hand and is a shredder’s paradise!
• Stainless steel frets and glow‑in‑the‑dark side dots: Ultra‑smooth stainless steel frets offer effortless playability and long‑term durability, while glow‑in‑the‑dark side dots mean you’ll never lose your bearings on a dark stage.
• DiMarzio custom humbuckers: These special DiMarzios deliver the unmistakable Axis voice. We’re talking tight, punchy cleans and harmonically rich high‑gain tones with bags of character.
• Music Man hardshell case: This guitar’s supplied with a rock-solid Music Man hardshell case to keep your investment safe and sound.
• Limited to 100 worldwide: Strictly limited to just 100 guitars across the globe, this is a genuine collector’s piece.
