The purple stain has faded which was a recognised issue, but I love it. Oddly, no pics of it but will get some

I just wish Music Man guitars in general had the option of a fatter neck. If they did, I would definitely still own one.
I've looked at a lot of these online over the last year but still haven't found one at the right price in the right colour with a nicely figured neck.
I like the transgold.
Had one in the past, but switched to super sports shortly after. More fun with trem and pretty much same tuning stability.
Anyway best necks ever for me. And the build quality is top notch too.
I've been trying to decide - I prefer a hard tail to a floyd but the Musicman is lovely. Talk about first world problems.
What about the EBMM 25th anni/Reflex ? If you don't like a Floyd. With the parallel/series switching big sounding beast too.
Similar shape to the axis but they are a different in size. as the chambered body too.

I've had half a dozen MM guitars over the years, 2 of which were Axii...the necks are indeed the biggest selling point and I've yet to play anything quite so slick.
I've recently returned to the MM fold with an L3 after 6 months of playing my LP & Suhr Modern and initially the neck felt so claustrophobic the L3 almost went back. I persevered and within a short time it wasn't and issue and i can swiutch guitars no problem. YMMV of course.
I had one of the Tribute models and a regular Axis. Both had the Musicman Floyd after they switched and both had issues when I fitted a D-Tuna...could have been user error of course!
As has been mentioned the clean tones were a bit Meh. I had a push/push pot fitted to one for coil splits and it worked surprisingly well, but these guitars are designed for gain!
I'd love another one and I'm sure it's only a matter of time, but it'll definitely be a Super Sport. Way more versatile with the 5 way selector and the MM trem is rock solid.
My band mate bought one the same time that I had my last Axis and I was quite envious of the tones he was getting from it.
Resale value of MM in my experience isn't great, although I've done v well with them by buying 2nd hand, so if you're patient a bargain should turn up. The last Axis I had was bought mint from EBay for £675 in 2015, but I was v lucky. My band mate paid £750 for his Super Sport in June last year. He's sold it since but still says it's the most comfortable neck he's ever played....well he did until he tried the roasted maple neck on my L3.
