“A true collector’s piece”: Ernie Ball Music Man unveils 30th Anniversary Axis
Ernie Ball Music Man is celebrating 30 years of its Axis electric guitar model with a limited-edition collection honouring its legacy.
First launched in 1996, the Axis has become a staple of the EBMM lineup, and guitars in the new collection stay true to the original design with a classic asymmetrical neck carve for “comfort and playability”, 22 stainless steel frets and a figured maple neck with glow-in-the-dark side dots.

The 30th Anniversary Axis features a hand-stained quilt maple top, and comes in six different finish options: Gold, Black, Pink, Red, Blue and Purple, each with a colour-matched headstock. Each option comes with a sparkled black back for a “refined and cohesive look”.

Elsewhere, the guitar features a pair of custom-wound DiMarzio pickups, plus an Ernie Ball Music Man double locking tremolo system, and fine tuners for “exceptional tuning stability”.

A final visual touch comes by way of a commemorative 30th Anniversary logo on the back.
Additionally, each 30th Anniversary Axis guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity, and ships in a deluxe hardshell case.
Price-wise, the 30th Anniversary Axis clocks in at $3,799. It’s also limited worldwide, with 120 Gold guitars available, and 100 each of the other five colours.
