Anyway am I right in assuming this is the I.D your ax post?

If so can I chime in.
My serial number is on the neck plate and reads 88256

I've had the neck off and someone has dated 10-7-96 on the neck heal underside. Does this mean anything. Also GOLD is stamped on the neck cavity of the body.

Do all the axis have those small silver toggle switches.

Thanks for your help guys look forward to chatting.

Flex,

The date in the neck signifies the date the neck was finished. It may or may not have someone's initials on there too. GOLD stamped on the body just means that it was supposed to be painted gold, which seemingly it was. The date your guitar was made into a finished instrument was 10/11/96, which is the first year we made Axis guitars.

Yes, all Axis guitars use essentially the same switch fomerly used on the EVH, although we moved it from its previous location. The Axis SuperSports, introduced in 1999, use a 5-position or 3-position blade-style switch for coil-tapping possibilites (on the 5-position only).

Welcome back to the wonderful wacky world of guitars and a definite welcome to the EBMM Forums!

I was wondering when she was born - Serial # G30960
Thanks a bunch

Mystic,

Congrads and a warm welcome here to the Forums! Your John Petrucci guitar was completed on 2/21/05, although our records show your guitar's finish to be Sapphire Black, not Graphite Pearl. Saph Black is darker with a hint of blue in the finish.
