Phil Adams Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Came across one of these for sale yesterday, passed on it because I was unfamiliar with the model, but it seems a pretty rare oddball. Can only find one other for sale and that's in Japan. Am I mistaken in its rarity, and indeed are they any good? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Adams Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Thanks for the info Mr Meddle. The one I looked at appeared to be active as it had what looked like a battery compartment on the reverse across the middle, I remember that it had Ibanez branded pickups and three controls. I couldn't see a S/N anywhere on it. I have a couple of Hohner B2a's, a fretted and fretless which I love dearly, but what drew me to the Axstar is the fact it had a top horn, which must be an advantage over the Hohner in giving a more conventional playing position. The zero fret on the Hohner seems a mile away until you get used to it. Also, whilst I didn't have the opportunity to test them side by side for weight, it seemed to me that the Ibanez was noticeably lighter.
