Details & History
I have recently purchased a less than pristine Axstar
AX40. Since I bought it on a whim for its great looks (I play in a 80's
"revival" metal band doing original material -
www.insidioustorment.com)
for about 150 USD (1000,- Danish crowns, if that makes sense to you) I
was a bit anxious to see if it was just a fluke guitar. Luckily, it
wasn't. I have included a photo, but I'm afraid it doesn't do the guitar
any justice. When I bought it, the original flightcase was included, the
top part of the string-locking system had been removed (but came
along) as did the vibrato arm. It is in serious need of some adjustment,
but otherwise sound. The backplates have been removed several times and
the screws are not original, but that is not really an issue, as the
guitar has the wear and tear of the road on both front and back is
therefore not a collectors item - lest of course I make to the stadium
level (hell'll freeze over before that...).
The serial number is I850161 - thanx for the guidelines
about the serial numbers!
I plan to make this my principal guitar for live and
studio-work, but will retain my trusty Fender Strat as live back-up as
well as for the single-coil tone which is occasionally called for.
