WTB Musicman - Axis/Luke/Cutlass/??

dave5150

Went to Guitarguitar in Camden today to try some PRS and in the end my favourite guitar there was a secondhand Axis. Unfortunately it was a bit overly dinged and overly priced.

It's gotten me hankering for a Musicman, though...

Mainly looking for an Axis Super Sport (no Floyd which is sacrilege on an EVH guitar, and with 5150 in my username, but I spent years breaking stings live with a Floyd and I just don't fancy it any more!). Also a Luke but not the L1 with a Floyd. 
Would consider a Cutlass, preferably HSS.

Potentially open so something else but I'm looking at maybe up to the £1800 mark - could maybe go a bit higher for the right guitar but not that much higher so don't go sending me pics of your sexy BFRs. Not sure on prices these days so maybe that won't get me much but only one way to find out!

Live in north Oxfordshire and work in London - would prefer cash in person to save on Paypal fees to keep my guitar funds higher!
I do drive so could meet halfway to somewhere if that works out.

Thanks!
David

I think Guitar Village have a rather beautiful Silhouette SSS around that price.

I'd be a little wary of this listing tbh. 0% feedback on the guy smacks of a scammer and when prices are too good to be true, they generally are.

All the best with the hunt for a Music Man though, they are amazing guitars!

Yeah 0% is always a worry!
Thanks for sharing @razorbill think I'd missed that one as I searched and had it sorted by price so didn't go that far down!

Necro-bump to see what is out there...! Money waiting for something good (not that good, though. Probably not looking at BFR.
Main post updated a bit as budget slightly higher and guitar preference has changed a bit...

Do you like the Silhouette? @chenzman has a real nice one at a sensible price on here that I think is still for sale. He is London ish based. All ebmm guitars are superbly built. I still have 3. Did have 7 lol

If you do like a Silo @chenzman is great to deal with he bought 2 ebmms off me (not the silo though)

Not a big fan of the shape of the silo but thanks for the response @bazxkr ;
