Celebrate three decades of innovation and performance with the Ernie Ball Music Man 30th Anniversary Axis—an exclusive, collector-grade instrument limited to just 100 pieces worldwide. Finished in a striking Translucent Black, this commemorative model pairs timeless design with premium craftsmanship, delivering exceptional tone, playability, and visual elegance.

At its core, the Axis features a resonant basswood body topped with a beautifully figured quilt maple cap, all wrapped in a high-gloss polyester finish and accented by refined cream binding. The result is a bold yet sophisticated aesthetic that stands out on any stage.

The neck is crafted from highly figured maple and paired with a matching figured maple fingerboard, offering a smooth, fast-playing surface enhanced by a comfortable 10" radius. Its sculpted 5-bolt neck joint ensures effortless access to higher frets, while 22 high-profile stainless steel frets provide long-lasting durability and precision feel.

Equipped with dual custom DiMarzio humbuckers, this Axis delivers a versatile tonal range—from articulate cleans to powerful, harmonically rich overdrive. A 3-way toggle selector and a single 500k volume control keep things intuitive, allowing players to focus on performance without distraction.

The Music Man double-locking tremolo bridge with fine tuners offers exceptional tuning stability and expressive pitch control, while Schaller M6LA tuning machines with elegant pearl buttons ensure reliable, precise tuning adjustments.

Weighing in at just over 7 pounds, this instrument is perfectly balanced for both stage and studio use. Additional premium touches—such as graphite acrylic shielding for reduced noise and Ernie Ball RPS 9 Slinkys strings—complete the package.
