Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I would give this guitar a 9.0 out of 10.0 stars.
Fit and finish is definitely a 10 out of 10. Versatility is 8 out of 10. Playability is 9 out of 10.
Musically it sounds fantastic. Having the Floyd Rose flush against the body makes the harmonics jump off the fret board for lots of whammy bar squeals, if you like that sort of thing.
The neck scale is slightly longer than my Les Pauls, but the neck is also narrower. I also had to adjust the setup including adjusting the truss rod in order to get it suitable for me. The action was quite high when the guitar arrived, and I lowered it a bit. It's still a bit higher than some of my other guitars. I've gotten used to it now, but to lower it further would probably require "shimming" the neck, which is something I'm not prepared to do.
Although the looks are fantastic, the one downside is you don't get to choose the "details". The guitar had more of a flamed maple top, where I would have preferred a quilted maple top. Also the neck is more striped and swirled maple rather than the birds eye maple that some Axis have. One other minor issue is the fret markers are tiny black dots rather than the larger mother of pearl type. If those kind of issues bother you I would suggest going for the Ball Family Reserve instead of this.
