Very few signs of wear and tear, you would have to search very closely to find any imperfections on the guitar. Definitely no dents, knicks or paint chips. I would give it a 9 out of 10, especially given its age.

It is hard to believe that this guitar is 20 years old. That is how long I've been playing guitar for, and have owned all sorts of different makes and models. This particular guitar is no doubt the most well crafted, comfortable and highest quality I have ever owned. I now own a few and am selling this beauty to "thin the herd" for something new!! I have looked around at a lot of different Axis Guitars and haven't seen a single one that matches this guitar. Between the pearl colored print on the back of the head stock. The silver plate with the MM symbol on the back of the body. It's a very unique guitar. I had to call the Ernie Ball Plant and they verified that the guitar was made in California and gave me the exact "date of birth" which I listed above. As far as playing goes, it practically plays itself. I love the light weight and dimensions of the body. The neck is just perfection and is the most comfortable I've ever played. You can tell as soon as you strum your first chord that this guitar is not like all the others!! As far as sound goes it is perfect for any style of playing, but crank up a nice tube amp and this thing is pure Sonic Bliss. Highest quality components and wood, excellent craftsmanship. Auhh!! I could go on and on. There is definitely a reason Eddie Van Halen loves these, and eventually helped craft his own version's. Message me with any questions. Thanks Here are the details and specs from the web:
The Axis guitar features a beautiful quilt or flame maple veneer over a lightweight basswood body. Two medium output custom DiMarzio humbuckers are mounted directly to the body for optimum resonance and signal response. This tonewood / pickup combination is a perfect recipe for hard edge rock tones, but also delivers a subtle dynamic response at lower volume levels when needed. The Axis asymmetric hard rock maple neck allows for comfortable hand positions across all 22 frets, while the double locking Music Man Floyd Rose tremolo keeps the guitar perfectly in tune.
