Ah well....why not. I've had a passion for these over the years and have owned a few. Down to two now as since chopping an imch off my middle finger I find the slightly wider necks on other brands slightly easier to adapt to. The two I still have though are keepers.
1999 Axis Supersport MM90 pickups and piezo. My first EBMM. Swapped a LP Deluxe for it which I could barely lift let alone play. Still got this one which left the factory on the day my Gran died, so a bit sentimental over it.
2005 Albert Lee. Originally with tortoise shell pickguard but swapped out for the Pearloid. Signed by Albert himself. I've got a photo of him wearing it somwehere. Not got this one anymore
Axis Super Sport 2007 Limited Edition. Black/gold hardware. This was a really versatile guitar which sounded great. Moved it on a few years ago. It now spends most of it's time on Ebay for Buy it Now £1500 !! A bit optimistic..I paid £700 for it in 2009.

I have only had the chance to pick up an Axis Sub in trans blue which is pretty low end compared to this. I love the design and shape. The printed quilted maple didn't really look great up close, but the guitar felt good in the hands and it has a maple board which certainly is a preference of mine, but I guess there is quite a lot of cost cutting somewhere. I think they are around £280 ish.
