AXN Guitars and Chip ZNuff celebrate the guitars of EnuffZNuff

Hi This is Johnny DiFatta from AXN Guitars. On Nov 15 2024 I will list this AXN Trubute Guitar with the lips graphic on Ebay for sale. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to National Down Syndrome Society. https://ndss.org

This sale will donate in memory of my daughter who had Down syndrome.

This promotion is a celebration and a collaboration between Chip ZNuff from the band EnuffZNuff and myself. We are celebrating music and the Kramer guitars EZN used to record the first two records.

From Wikipedia

In 1989, Enuff Z'Nuff released their first major label offering, a self-titled debut album on Atco Records. For this recording, founding members Donnie Vie and Chip Z'Nuff were joined by guitarist Derek Frigo and drummer Vikki Foxx. The band had two charting hits with the psychedelic-flavored pop rock songs "New Thing" and "Fly High Michelle", both of which received steady airplay on MTV.

For their follow-up album, 1991's Strength, the band consciously toned down their glam image. Strength was released in 1991 on Atco to strong reviews, including Rolling Stone magazine calling the group "The Hot Band of the Year."[4] There were promotional videos for the singles "Mother's Eyes" and "Baby Loves You".

Jisel Anise DiFatta ( 1997 - 2021 )

Please call me Johnny as I consider you all my friends.

I usually am hesitant in speaking about things in my life that are quite personal. But as many of you know life brings us many challenges and emotional ups and downs.

On October 24 2021 we lost my daughter to Covid Pneumonia. Jisel DiFatta, my 3rd child, one of my five beautiful daughters that I love so very much. She was a happy soul throughout her 24 years of life. Jiser was born with Down syndrome but I always thought she operated at a pretty high level. My family was brought close together by her love. It’s been 3 yrs now but I’m not so sure I’ll ever fully accept the loss. But we move on don’t we?… She died peacefully during the Covid pandemic.

I saw Mark Tremonti of the band Creed donate to NDSS for his child and i wanted the opportunity to do the same.

Please check back for more information on this listing for an AXN Guitar. I have manufactured this guitar and I will sell the AXN on Ebay. Through the Ebay listing we will be donating to the National Down Syndrome Society. https://ndss.org

In addition Chip ZNuff of the band EnuffZNuff has offered to do a meet and greet at a show or EnuffZNuff concert for the winning buyer. So if you buy the guitar and get yourself to an EZN show Chip will sign your new AXN! Youll get to hang out with a real rock star mr. Chip ZNuff!

AXN Luthier Grade Guitars

AXN GUITARS - MADE IN USA

09/2024 News · Johnny AXN · email info@axnguitars.com · (949) 329-8943

Much of the time I manufacture new guitars that look old. Sometimes when I’m sitting in the shop here in California USA I manufacture a guitar based off some creative idea that I think kicks ass. Then somehow other people like it.

I’m re-creating the Glitter, the Glam and the Grunge of a short lived period of time. A time filled with thunder, an idiosyncratic mix of power chords, pilfered technical riffage, and tube amp goodness. They possess an intelligence, a sense of humor and a devil-may-care spirit.

I have always taken the high road with my AXN Guitars. My instruments are the best-of-the-best or maybe just the best. I have never considered having my AXNs made overseas nor have I wasted precious time with such pointless efforts. All my time spent is applied to scientific research and development. To gain steps forward. To apply simple, common sense enhancement to my “luthier grade” guitars

These are manufactured with heart and emotion coiled up in barbed wire and individualistic expression. My AXN Guitars are Technical Art. A culture quote.

AXN LUTHIER GRADE ROCKNROLL GUITARS

AXNs RockNRoll attitude boasts a Punk rock edge mixed with some Cruella-ish form of Metal swagger. These guitars play and sound like musical Monsters… And Dude, it’s cause I put the time in to make 100% sure… and I have the manufacturing chops to do so.

These guitars are true to the guitars from the past that you’ve always regarded as significant. I’ve created you this AXN™ Guitar and manipulated every detail to 100% certainty. That said these things I do are for my own satisfaction as well.

I deliver a luthier grade guitar that exceeds expectations. I am only using the best materials from local USA suppliers. A reality you have never experienced before from other brands.

Hardtail AXN Model One is a Reality

The AXN Hardtail RockNRoll Guitar

More information will be released to highlight the AXN Guitars Model One. I want to talk about the successful design and launch of my new guitar! I love hardtail guitars!

This model started out as an idea in my head and it took four years to become an actual real AXN guitar. In my mind I naturally gravitated toward a hardtail Strat. This would be an additional AXN Guitars flagship model. In 2020 I started the first steps to develop this design into a real guitar.

For many years I collected vintage hardtail guitars and specifically Jake E Lee type Charvel hardtail guitars. As Ozzy Osbourne’s guitar player Jake E Lee had 3 hardtail Strat guitars. I’ve been on a quest to own every Jake E Lee replica guitar for many years. From the hardtail guitars I have owned i examined the specifications and the aspects of each and that influenced my AXN Hardtail..

I fell in love with the hardtail bridge Jake Used on his Strats. That vintage bridge design is part of the AXN Model 1 Hardtail RockNRoll Guitar.

As a guitar player i can tell you that a hardtail strat guitar for RockNRoll and Metal music is a perfect tool. Enjoy an AXN Model 1 Guitar

AXN Guitars Kramer Neptune New Jersey Derek Frigo EnuffZNuff Dennis Kline Graphic

AXN Kramer Neptune New Jersey Dennis Kline

Hello friends its great to be able to report in with some fun and exciting news. We are into January of the year 2024 … can you believe it?

I have a quick story and I’m planning to make it that quick. My story is centered around the Kramer guitars used by EnuffZNuff and original EnuffZNuff guitarist Derek Frigo.

In December 2023 I was talking with my friend Chip from the band EnuffZNuff. Do you remember EnuFFZNuff … Flying High Michelle? MTV Hit ?..

I keep reminding Chip of the fact that many guitarists in the Kramer guitar community have an interest in Kramer Neptune New Jersey Guitars and the models used by EnuffZNuff and specifically the Kramer guitars that Derek Frigo used in videos and on tour in the 1980s. One problem my friend Chip, founder and original member of EZN plays bass. AXN as of today does not make any basses.

That said, every time I visit a show or hang out with Chip I throw into the conversation that I have an interest in re-creating a Kramer guitar that Derek Frigo used that had a Dennis Kline lips graphic. The guitar Derek used actually had a big set of lips with a cigarette in the mouth.

During the holidays 2023 Chip and I started talked to current EnuffZNuff guitarist Tori about AXN Guitars producing a replica Kramer Neptune New Jersey Guitar.

So it happened. Below are the pics.

The only problem was that with Chips schedule during the 2023 holidays and the upcoming tour for EnuffZNuff I only had 7 days to get anything I had in stock ready. Of course the both of us procrastinated on the idea much longer than needed and pinched me for time. In other words I had to paint a graphic on a guitar that was currently manufactured ( raw wood neck and body ) build up and make ready in seven days. As well get some time in to do a setup and play the guitar until it felt right to go on a worldwide tour + ship across the USA ….Well I did it. !!

There were a few interesting kinks in the plan... of course …That said the guitar is in use by Tori of EnuffZNuff today on a 6 month tour in 2024. It looks like its gonna be back to back shows for EnuffZNuff for at the least 90 days with maybe a 2day break or so in between for the boys and the AXN Model 2 Guitar … too tune back in for an update down the line.

Here is a video form 1986 with Derek Frigo using the Kramer Lips w/ cigarette graphic

AXN Guitars Magic in The Details

AXN Guitars Feel So F-ing Good !!!!

A 2.25” neck heel is our standard on all AXNs. Unique to the 1980s the slightly larger heel size. This gives just a hair more fretboard on either side of the outside strings. I don’t know of any guitar makers today privy to this. I adopted this from many years of research. It feels really really good on my guitars!

The small extra amount of fretboard space on either side of the string at the 22nd fret is added for a distinct purpose. It gives just a little more room that high up in the register to allow for some intricate playing. Also makes my guitars have some mojo.

Differing from Fullerton era Fender guitar production, the reason a couple very savvy 80s guitars makers manufactured neck heels to the larger size was to replicate the wider feel of a Gibson Les Paul. A Les Paul has fret edge binding usually made from a white colored material. When the fret edge binding is added to a guitar fretboard it increases its total width at the 22nd fret to 2.25”.

AXN Guitars The Glitter & The Glam

TWO THINGS TO TALK ABOUT TODAY:

( 1 ) A New Look For AXN Branding and New Socials Content:

We have fresh re-branding and a new look for AXN Guitars. Check out the banner at top and the new AXN Guitars Logo!!

Thank you guys for staying connected. Some great things are happening in the way of manufacturing guitars. There are new designs in the works. One BIGGIE for my shop is that I’ve found a source here in the USA for Aged Light Weight Mahogany wood. After over a decade of making guitars for hard rock I now use Aged Mahogany as a staple wood for most of my AXNs… More technical info to come in future posts.

As most of you that monitor our social networks have noticed Ive been out in LA now for a while promoting. As it turns out I am working with a few artists on NEW AXN shapes/designs and they are mainly based in Los Angeles. ( to be announced in 2024 ) So very many times ill be taking videos and creating content from interesting places and interesting people around Hollywood and Los Angeles creative districts.

Engaging Video/Socials Content:

I will create content going forward that establishes a connection with my audience and their interests which are the 1980s and 1990s versus boring videos of our manufacturing shop. I’m finding you guys spend less time watching when i post video of a pin router in my shop making a guitar body and you rockers spend more time on the video shorts when they have great and exciting subject matter, So keep a lookout and let me know if your liking the new look of things around here Contact Johnny

AXN Guitars…. “ Slay Video “

PLEASE VISIT THE SOCIAL NETWORKS

( 2 ) THE “ ALL NEW “ AXN HARDTAIL MODELS ONE …ABOUT TO LAUNCH

So yes. Ive been re-designing and changing the AXN Model One

Below is a video of a highly evolved Model One AXN. I’ve went back and forth on wood types, bridges, shapes for things like the pickups and the control cavities. But its done and in production!!!

Stay tuned.

Here is a Sneak Peek

Until Next Time .. Stay Safe !! Johnny

The new AXN™ Model '83

link to Model Page >> The new AXN™ Model '83

Thank you for noticing my AXN Guitars. We’ve launched our all new AXN Model ‘83. The ONLY guitar in the world to have the EXACT KRAMER 1983 KRAMER BARETTA NECK SHAPE. The 1983 Kramer Baretta was an Edward Van Halen signature model… actually the first and only Edward Van Halen Signature guitar from the great era of 1983 to the early 1990s.

Best Regards, Johnny AXN Guitars email: info@AXNguitars - phone (949) 329-8943
————————————————-

The AXN ‘83

We launched the first AXN model ‘83 as a run of 5 guitars in the year 2019. These were absolute clones of the 1983 Kramer Baretta in every way. The difference was our ‘83 was manufactured here in the USA from prime AAA grade materials. Ours was a true boutique guitar with handmade attributes. In that regard everything about our AXN versions of the 1983 Baretta were far superior versions yet our AXN guitars are new not vintage guitars as are the 1983 Kramer Barettas. This makes the Baretta highly collectible instruments and very very rare. Yet, our AXN Model ‘83 captures the true specifications, the spirit, and the details of this beautiful Kramer guitar.

I learned a lot. From a luthiers standpoint, having studied ESP and Kramer manufacturing for decades some details i already knew about and expected. That said, for me to have dug that deep into the signature model Kramer that was created for Edward Van Halen during that era of his playing was very interesting. It was just informative to have a few 1983 Kramer Barettas here in my shop all at once and take notes from the actual vintage guitars. Yet, that is what we did. Through 2018 into 2021 we used several real 1983 Kramer Barettas had them here in the shop dissembled them and calibrated them individually and seperately. I have a blog post here about that on my web page.

The first thing I dissected in order to reproduce the neck was its neck profile. Its been called “wide-and-flat”. Indeed the 1983 Kramer Baretta neck profile is very wide and very flat. The nut size on a 1983 Kramer Baretta uses a 1-3/4” nut which should translate to wide for anyone since the Fender standard is 1-5/8”. Also, the neck shape running up and down the neck is very unique. Some people have called it “quirky”. I believe it is very very awesome and I enjoy the neck profile in all aspects of my own playing.

The 1983 Kramer Baretta neck shape may be my all-time favorite neck shape or one of my favorites. It is very different and feels wide with tons of girth. The thing about the neck profile is that it has a very similar wideness and thickness from fret one to just about fret fourteen. The even more awesome thing about this neck profile is that it screams 1980s…. truly is and will always be indicative of a 1980s guitar neck.

Its a shred neck FULLY. I say this not to make small its comfortableness when playing chords. I say its a shred neck because when you put the flat fretboard together with a sleek and fast neck shape coupled with fat jumbo frets and the fretboard and overall wideness and girth from fret one to fret fourteen… this screams 1980s.

You just cant get the playing experience from a Les Paul or a Fender or any other guitar. Its fun a Fuck to play and its also comfortable… Its just DIFFERENT

ITS DIFFERENT … Get yourself and AXN Guitar!

AXN Guitars Destroy 2023 Campaign

I’m here to thank everyone for the wonderful compliments. As it seems many of you are coming back for your second AXN Guitar and I appreciate that immensely.

In reality the success of AXN guitars is due to the people who buy them. Many times I get ideas from buyers. The ideas cue me in to what my audience actually want from AXNs. So I deliver it back in the guitars. That is exactly the case with my new AXN Model 3 SuperStar.

My buddy Thomas Skeoch from the band Tesla is a perfect example. Things that he encounters when playing large and small live shows has initiated common sense suggestions. These changes to the little details of the AXNs have been absorbed and well recieved. Tommys input, because he is quite creative in his own right, made better into best!!!

Tommy also is responsible for much if not all of Tesla’s iconic sound from the Tesla albums that we all love so much. His hard rockin attitude and his hard rock guitar tone is the perfect match for my AXNs. That said I’ll let some video from our recent travels together talk and ill shut up now LOL. here you go >>> YouTube Conversation >>>

AXN GUitars Model 2 SuNsetStrip Model 2 Lips #05

Here Is For Sale Listing For This Guitar

Scroll down this post past these pics …there is some information I added about our AXN methodology >>

Introducing the AXN Guitars SunsetStrip Model 2. For those of you that have been following me through the evolution of these AXN Guitars you know I’m sincere.

Where others are just running through the motions of manufacturing guitars I am giving my Life , my Love, and myself completely to Create something quite different. I’ve spared no expense on these luthier grade guitars. Yes we are manufacturing these guitar from prime woods and top shelf hardware. I look at this as much more than just woodworking. It the creation of something meaningful and tangible.

Through years of preparation and perspiration I’ve positioned AXN Guitars as functional art. In all honesty nothing plays better or sounds more RockNRoll than this LIPS AXN SunsetStrip Model 2 and it’s brothers and sisters. That is because I started with the designs.

I initially wanted everything I preferred in a guitar that fit the style that I grew up with. Funny enough the bands that I love and the guitar players that I grew up trying to emulate were playing guitars that look sort of like these AXNs. In addition the music I gravitated towards was RockNRoll played with swagger through a Marshal Plexi amp.

The percieved problem was that I could never purchase the guitars my heros played. The actual instruments used by them were custom made “one-offs” made from great woods and materials. Theirs were modified for the real environment they performed in which was usually arenas. Even today the big name brands even the smaller brands are high volume producers. You know this and I know this. Creativity lost. Individuality is lost completely in that process.

Soi here I am… a small shop manufacturing often one-guitar-at-a-time for other guitar player guys that want the same thing… a perfect handmade “custom shop” or …actual true “custom”. A perfect instrument made from perfect woods and perfect hardware with perfect pickups that is a visually perfect RockNRoll electric guitar… in their eyes.

There you have my AXN Guitars

The Last AXN To Have A Banana or Hockey Stick Headstock

Well I’m manufacturing these with a reverse AXN headstock now. Pictured is the last AXN to have that banana or hockey stick shape of headstock.



My AXN Model ‘83 is the only guitar in the world to have the exact specifications of the EVH Signature 1983 Kramer… No other brand has ever made an accurate version because they were either unable to recreate it from an original or they didn’t care to.

Remember there were only 200 made and I cloned my AXN Model ‘83 from the authentic 1983 Holy Grail Kramer Barettas I had in my shop. I cloned the neck perfectly and its accurate at every fret from fret one to fret 22.. People that have followed me have seen my posting and photos of my collection of KramerBarettas. Check out this page on my site … I talk about that process of cloning a 1983 Baretta…Keep in touch friends. Don’t forget I’m creating true functional art!

AXN's Johnny Moves GEN2 1980s Designs Into Manufacturing & Production

I’am so very happy. I want to thank the people that continue to urge us on to make these 1980s throw-back guitars. My shop has completed all my refinements and they are being manufactured by my team and I as we speak. [ heres the video announcement ]

I resigned all the guitars on CAD. I put a whole shit-ton of 1980s aesthetics and 1980s dynamics including unique attributes fully into my guitars. Things… little details that only I would remember. Things that were lost in the 1990s and were intrinsic of only 1980s guitars. These are exclusively in my AXNs. This includes fast and unique neck profiles and secret formulas used by the great 1980s luthiers. The luthiers and the brands that you all know and loved so much.

Only a small boutique shop like AXN can do this accurate guitar recreation. That is because we are a nimble and precise manufacturing unit.

Again, I thank those of you that send positive emails and comments on my INSTAGRAM & YOUTUBE streams. You are close to my heart!!!

KEEP IN TOUCH!!!! Always

AXN Guitars Artist Custom AXN Projects Recap of 2022

Hello friends and 1980s Rockers. This post shows some detail about the custom AXN Guitars I manufactured and designed for Tommy Skeoch formerly of Tesla and Bruce Kulick of KISS fame.

[ visit our Artists Page Here ]

In future posts to this AXN News Blog I will show the technical details and specifications for those AXN Custom Artists Guitars including the woods, neck profiles, pickups and Floyd Rose systems they choose.

In 2022 opportunities happened and I was able to work closely with and visit with some cool guitarists that have a little bit of knowledge about 1980s guitars. I used their suggestions and comments about my AXN Guitars to make my brand even more authentic and true to the 1980s guitars we all knew and loved.



The AXNs in the below featured video were designed, manufactured and 100% produced in our AXN shop.

I personally recorded the guitarist’s preferred neck thickness and the neck shapes at all fret positions. Inevitably their choice were true to the unique 1980s neck shapes that don’t exist in todays modern guitars. We choose the body woods for weight, balance and comfort as well as tone. We did all this in a scientific manner. 



My luthier and I took suggestions and ideas and incorporated those into the new line of AXN guitars. Details such as volume knob placement, pickups, and circuit choices were added to our AXNs. 

 These two artist models have our AXN SuperWide sustain blocks on German Floyd Rose tremolos. It’s is real deal 1980s utopia will full blown hard rock tone.



Keep a lookout. Our web site AXNguitars.com is where you can reach out to me with your comments.
 I look forward to hearing from you guys
