Sterling AX50QM Axis - Lava Burst

Axis ST-AX50QM

This Axis model delivers the perfect mix of modern performance and classic vibe. It features a roasted maple neck and fingerboard for a smooth, fast feel, paired with a striking quilted maple veneer top and matching headstock that really pops under stage lights.

The SBMM-designed double-locking tremolo keeps tuning rock-solid, even with heavy dives and expressive bends. Dual alnico humbuckers provide a full, punchy tone that works equally well for rhythm or lead. Controls are simple and intuitive—just a single volume knob and a 3-way toggle for quick pickup changes.

If you’re after a versatile, reliable instrument with standout looks, this Axis is an excellent choice.

This item is a "B-Stock Guitar" directly from the manufacturer. It is NEW Stock that has never been owned. Pictures are of the actual guitar you will receive.

A "B-Stock Guitar" is a guitar that won't have structural or playability issues but could possibly have some particular minor cosmetic flaw which can keep it from passing the rigorous inspection process put in place by the guitar manufacturer. These guitars do not come with manufacture warranty.

we will have our licensed tech go over the guitar and set it up for you. I personally did not see the blemish on this one when I looked over it. However, just because I did not notice it does not mean there is not a small cosmetic flaw somewhere. Wherever it is, it is small in nature. (see pictures)
