Ernie Ball Music Man 30th Anniversary Axis Electric Guitar - Translucent Purple Quilt (665)

The Ernie Ball Music Man 30th Anniversary Axis celebrates three decades of one of the most recognizable high-performance guitars in the EBMM lineup. Inspired by the original 1996 debut, this limited model brings back the unmistakable translucent look, pairing it with a beautifully bookmatched quilt maple top and a color-matched back finished with a subtle sparkle for added depth. Built for speed and comfort, the Axis features the model’s familiar ergonomic body contours and a figured maple neck carved to Music Man’s fast, comfortable Asymmetrical C profile. The 10-inch-radius fingerboard feels smooth and effortless under the hands, while the gunstock oil and hand-rubbed wax finish on the neck and fingerboard give it the broken-in feel players love. A matched set of custom DiMarzio humbuckers delivers the punch, clarity, and harmonic response that made the Axis a favorite among rock players from the start. With a streamlined control layout consisting of a single 500k volume and 3-way toggle, this guitar keeps the focus on feel, response, and immediate tonal access. A Music Man double-locking tremolo, flush-mounted to the body, teams up with Schaller M6LA tuners for confident performance and tuning stability. Cream binding, Luminlay side dots, pearl tuning buttons, and a matching translucent headstock complete the look, making this anniversary Axis a standout piece that blends iconic design, refined execution, and unmistakable stage-ready attitude.
