New Axis in the house...
Got me a new Axis Super Sport today.

The top sucks.

Best deal I have ever gotten on a used guitar. Ever. I would speculate it may be one of the better scores by any forum member...

I jumped at the chance to buy it even after only seeing one poor quality photo. It was a ASS with Piezo and a rosewood board with Matching headstock so I grinned ear to ear when I snagged it for the price I did

Then it showed up today with an added bonus.
I had no idea it was a "Custom Made" upgraded top.

One small finish ding, but who cares

Behold.

Yeah, that top really does look horrible! I`m glad I didin`t find one like that so I wouldn`t get stuck with it.
Nah.....nice score! By the way, did you ever sell the MM90 Albert Lee. I`m still mulling it over.

Excellent! It takes sucking to a whole 'nother level. How can one even stand to look at a top that not only sucks but reeks of suckness. You are the mayor of Topsuckville.

I guess i'll stop now.

Oh yeah guess I forgot that part. I got this one used at a major retailer. I saw it online and shot them an offer. They took my first offer, which I did not really expect...
