For the first four years of its existence, the Ernie Ball Music Man Axis was the original Edward Van Halen signature guitar before its name changed in 1995. However, the Axis has enjoyed immense success on its own terms for three decades now, proving that a great guitar can still appeal to the masses even without a big-name artist’s signature on the headstock.
The Music Man Axis remains pretty much the same as it ever was after a few tweaks were made to its design when the new name was adopted. Subtle improvements in Music Man’s manufacturing have evolved over the years, and the Axis guitars that it’s making today are the best that the company has ever offered.
