The Axis Super Sport has an ash body, bound figured maple top, bolt-on maple neck, 22-fret maple or rosewood fingerboard with black dot inlays. It is like the Axis but has a tone control, instead of a Floyd Rose bridge it has a stop-tailpiece or an optional vintage tremolo (models 320, 321), has an optional rosewood fingerboard and is available in 3 pickup configurations: 2 humbuckers, 3 single coils, or 2 single coils + humbucker. The base price of the SuperSport is somewhat less than that of the Axis. The patented Silent Circuit noise reduction electronics uses an inductor coil to reduce mains hum. Finish options are: Black, Ivory, Trans. Blue, Trans. Gold, Trans. Green, Trans. Purple, Trans. Red, or Vintage Sunburst.
The models with humbuckers have basswood bodies but the MM90 models have ash bodies. Piezo bridge is also an option on this model (models 340, 341).
