AXN Transitions to GEN2 Period Correct Line of Guitars

Ok and hello friends, supporters and lovers of 1980 period correctness. Johnny here I’m making this post short and sweet and informative. Now that we have refined our manufacturing process here at AXN guitar every guitar we manufacture is a “GEN2 AXN - Period Correct”.

What exactly does that mean? Period Correct and GEN2…?

Long story short. As you know we are luthiers over here. We deal in exactness. I personally have talents and an acquired skillset centered on DETAILS and more Details.

If you don’t already know about me… from age 25 to today, 30+ years, i worked in the California Aerospace Industry. I supported the family by working with engineers, production managers and CEOs that manufactured aerospace stuff that go into military and space applications. I am undeniably outspoken and unashamed. Now, I’m coming right out with this statement…

“With one or two exceptions, ALL the so called boutique guitars exhibiting a constant release and re-hash of less than interesting new versions of 80s classics are… so very very stale and lacking in character. Stale is the perfect word.”

Here is the meat of this conversation. Over here in our shop we did it. I kept the nose to the grindstone. I pushed and pushed more. I broke a sweat and defeated little frustrations every day to refine what we are putting out. And all this for my own personal benefit.

I also got quiet. I listened to you. I listened to my production manager and my luthier. I listened to simplicity and I listened to science. I followed the nucleus of my ideas until these bloomed… and flower my ideas eventually did. I propagated and harvested these ideas.

I did it for just for the sake of making myself happy. I just cant be bothered with stale and un-interesting. I want to get myself off. I like to look at what we create, manufacture and produce for guitar crazed people and say.. “Hell Yes” ever-time!

Now my shop is in GEN2 Period Correct. No skipping over the obvious. I ensure that the AXNs I manufacture are 100% correct to what was in the 1980s. Take a look at the details in the AXN guitar in this post. It will be visible to you. There are a whole bunch of little details. These intricate details again, not skipped over, not excluded, not indiscriminately evolved.

As evidence go take look at the AXN SuperWide Sustain Blocks. Take a gander at the neck pocket, neck joint and heel/butt of our AXNs. My AXNs have a slightly wider 2-1/4” neck pocket equaling period correct 1980s! Theres a lot more. Little secrets that reside underneath the hood.

Truth be told, AXN Guitars kick butt and carry a bang for each one of the bucks. You will be able to look at your AXN, fire up your amplifier and your AXN, and say Hell Yes every-time!

Thanks Again

Johnny
