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”.
