Our AXN™ Sunset Strip™ Model 2 Guitar Guitar replicates with finite detail an electric guitar that would have been used by a rocker at the height of 1980s Metal. It will be an instrument that emulates with absolute detailed accuracy the look, the tone, the hardware, the spirit and the style of a guitar worn by an 80's Rocker and Its 100% Period Correct.

I am the only guitar maker that knows the accurate neck shapes, and detailed guitar specifications. I lived it and I understand The Glitter and the Glam of TheStrip. The attitude, the spirit and those finite guitar details are in all my AXNs.

Echoing familiar and attractive timepieces from an era of 1980s creativity every AXN™ Sunset Strip™ is a throw-back to another time in Rock-N-Roll history.

We change it up often with a variety of paint and graphics. We've pulled from my precious memories to reincarnate a guitar that would have existed then!

Back in the day players lusted after sexy-flashy guitars made to do one thing... ROCK. Again, the details of an AXN™ Sunset Strip™ Guitar will mirror that spirit, that attitude, the glitter and the glam existing only during the ultimate heyday of The LA Sunset Strip.

The Hollywood Sunset Strip

Just Some Sidewalk Between The Whisky and Gazzarri's... That Reached out Beyond is boundries

[ read a full story of the Hollywood Strip here ]

We would have saved for it. We would have begged for it, borrowed and spent our girlfriends hard earned cash for it.

A crazed youth bent on having that big break. On any given night he could be found hanging around one of the Hollywood clubs that now hold legendary status. He would probably be passing out band flyers to all the girls roaming The Strip. His only guitar would be a guitar thats every shape and contour would forever symbolize the de·bauch·er·y of 1980s Metal. This is who we were.

At the tail end of the prolific punk scene was to begin this historic and epic time of the L.A. Glam Metal Era. In 1986-to-1991 rockers filled the streets on a very short stretch of sidewalk between the Whisky-A-Go-Go and Gazzarri's. The Sunset Strip was colonized by metal bands coming from all parts of the USA looking for that big break and creating a vibrant scene for hard rock music. It was in these four or five years that The Sunset Strip in Hollywood California had the whole worlds attention.

Everyone was sure the mystique of Hollywood Glam Metal music and its appeal would live on and live on. A philosopher once said “All good things must come to an end” ...and end it did. The day the Seattle scene took over seems now to be obvious. Some even seek to persuade that the excesses and extremes of the LA Glam Metal genre should have ended a decade before.

All said, the word AUTHENTIC is not strong enough. Back in the day we had rock star swagger, looked the part, and had the chops to go with it. Running through our veins was a dream. That dream which was attainable... "to make it big" 

Then, a young rocker could only afford himself only one real guitar. That guitar would mirror an AXN™ Sunset Strip™ Guitar.
