The Sterling by Music Man AX3QM Axis Quilted Maple Spectrum Red offers the typical playing and sound characteristics of the iconic Music Man design at a surprisingly attractive price-performance ratio. In addition to the lightweight body with chic cloud maple veneer, the electric guitar from the S.U.B. series comes with an asymmetrical neck that is particularly comfortable in the hand. Sterling by Music Man open humbuckers with flexible switching also promise a variety of tones for rock and blues, while indestructible attachments in the form of a Fulcrum Tremolo and tuning-stable tuners complete the S.U.B. Axis AX3QM electric guitar from Sterling by Music Man.
The Sterling by Music Man AX3QM Axis Quilted Maple Spectrum Red impresses not only with its chic appearance, but also with flexible sounds and agile playing characteristics.
While the Belly Cut allows the Jabon body to fit comfortably against the body, the asymmetrical maple neck can be played up to the highest registers thanks to the Sculpted Heel.
Classic construction with asymmetrical neck
For the AX3QM Axis, Sterling by Music Man adds modern convenience to the classic bolt-on construction. The lightweight Jabon body features not only a large belly cut on the back, but also a rounded sculpted heel for easy access to the high registers. The quintuple-bolted maple neck, with its asymmetrical profile and 42 mm nut width, creates first-class conditions for implementing classic and modern playing techniques. Last but not least, a cloud maple veneer provides the dignified noble look of the S.U.B. Axis electric guitar.
Sterling by Music Man open humbuckers and a 5-way circuit promise diverse guitar sounds between rock and blues. The Fulcrum tremolo convinces with a buttery smooth handling.
Humbucker with flexible circuit
As pickup for the AX3QM Axis Flame Maple Sterling by Music Man chooses two open-coil humbuckers with bobbins in the popular zebra look. The powerful pickups convince not only in the drive channel with an enormous assertiveness and tight representation of every note played, but also with a sensitive sound development in the clean channel. In addition to the 5-way blade switch, which calls up the pickups or their individual coils in different circuits, volume and tone pots provide full control over the sound.
Encapsulated die-cast tuners in typical "4+2" arrangement guarantee accurate and stable tuning AX3QM Axis electric guitar.
Reliable hardware equipment
Last but not least, Sterling by Music Man completes the AX3QM Axis Quilted Maple Spectrum Blue with reliable hardware that impresses with flawless function even after long sessions. The SBMM Fulcrum tremolo, mounted on two pins, impresses with buttery-smooth handling, so that vibrato embellishments of melodies and chords succeed with ease. Six individually adjustable tailpieces guarantee exact adjustment of intonation and string position even when using thick strings for drop tunings. Die-cast tuners arranged in the typical "4+2" look keep the electric guitar securely in the correct tuning, even with frequent reaches for the vibrato lever.
