Condition
Cosmetically it has been played, but still looks really nice. Pick haze on front. Some small marks, including tip of headstock (I used a guitar pick to point out the small size of these marks in pictures). Frets good condition with mild flattening.

Sound & Playability
The combination of the rosewood neck and top imparts a unique sonic signature to this Axis Super Sport. Expect a warm, resonant tone with pronounced sustain, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles. The DiMarzio Custom Humbuckers provide clarity, articulation, and powerful output, so it can handle anything from sparkling, clean tones to searing high-gain rock.
This rare limited edition rosewood Super Sport has hardtail bridge with Volume/Tone and 3-way switch (these may have originally come with 5-way, not sure). Just a beautiful playing guitar that feels great in the hands. I’ve seen these sell for over $3k in the past. NO case. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. FREE FedEx Ground in USA.

About Me
My store is a one-person small business that has been selling used guitars and basses for 15 years now. I do a basic setup and cleaning on every instrument I sell, so depending on workload it may be 1-2 business days before your guitar ships. When it arrives you can depend on it being, clean, set up, and securely packed. Check my feedback for confirmation. Thanks!
Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, clean and oil fingerboard. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. We do a basic setup since setup is highly subjective you may want to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier anyway. Thanks!
Packing
Search "How to Pack a Guitar + Hot Girls" on YouTube for a video showing how I pack. I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. You can also read my packing blog post on my StillKickinMusic website. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
