Overview

A modern guitar with vintage style and smooth playability.

The Sterling by Music Man Axis AX3 flame maple top electric guitar encapsulates the innovations of classic guitar design in a contemporary form. With its asymmetrical neck, vintage fulcrum tremolo bridge and 5-way selector switch, the AX3 allows you to channel the tones and techniques of guitar history while enjoying smooth, comfortable playability. The stunning flame maple top gives the AX3 unique, eye-catching aesthetics.

Dial In Your Sound With the 5-Way Pickup Selector

The AX3's 5-way pickup selector provides exceptional tonal variety so you can find the perfect sound. Switch between the neck humbucker for a smooth, round tone perfect for jazz and blues or activate both humbuckers for high output rock riffs. The 2 and 4 positions activate coil splits for snappy single-coil tones. Experiment with the pickup combinations to craft your tone.

Play All Night With the Asymmetrical Neck and 12" Radius

The asymmetrical neck and 12" fingerboard radius provide incredible comfort for marathon practice sessions and gigs. The thin, fast neck allows easy access to the higher frets while the flatter radius feels familiar to players accustomed to modern guitars. The smooth maple fingerboard facilitates quick runs and complex chords.

Express Yourself With the Vintage Fulcrum Tremolo

The vintage fulcrum tremolo bridge provides the expressiveness and warmth of classic designs. From gentle shimmers to dive bombs, the tremolo expands your dynamic range. The fulcrum design maximizes tuning stability compared to other tremolos, keeping you in tune even with aggressive use. Sculpt your sound with the sensitive, vocal-like articulation.

Eye-Catching Looks With the Flame Maple Top

The gorgeous flame maple top gives the AX3 unique, distinguished aesthetics. The striking wood grain patterns make this AX3 truly one-of-a-kind. The transparent finish accentuates the figure of the maple for jaw-dropping beauty. With its perfect mix of vintage appeal and modern playability, the AX3 is sure to inspire your creativity.
