AXN™ TRANSITIONS TO GENERATION 2 SUSTAIN BLOCKS

  • ALL AXN™ Sustain Blocks are Manufactured IN THE USA from domestic USA metals. 

  • ALL AXN™ Sustain Blocks are machined at a California USA aerospace machine shop by American machinists and craftsman.

  • AXN Generation 2 Blocks find refinements in steel and machining

  • AXN Sustain blocks are used exclusively on all AXN GUITARS

Truth be told, the name brand aftermarket blocks you’ve heard of are made in China. Don't waste your time with any other brand. Get an AXN™ sustain block. All other aftermarket sustain blocks are rubbish manufactured from very poor quality asian metals that ruin your Floyds tone with false promises.

Our AXN™ Sustain Blocks are 100% manufactured in the USA from prime American metals. AXN™ Sustain Blocks are the only sustain blocks for Floyd Rose that are machined to exact tolerances by American craftsman.

We adapted that early 1980s big blocks design to new Floyd Rose product. We now offer virtually the same block and the same steel alloys as those used in the Floyd Rose big block prototypes from the early 1980s. We manufactured ours to fit your modern and vintage Floyd Rose Tremolos. The original 1980 sustain block specifications were lost or compromised over the years. We believe those details were to costly to continue including when the Original Floyd Rose original tremolos were outsourced to Germany in 1983 to high production amounts.

USA CRAFTSMAN MACHINING AXN SUSTAIN BLOCKS IN CALIFORNIA USA

To achieve superior results AXN™ chose a specific metal alloy. We worked with friends in the tool steel and aerospace industry using known methods to sample and test vintage alloys. Other than AXN™ no company has done the proper metallurgical testing to arrive at the perfect blend of art and science. True results come from spectrometer, digital microscope and hardness testers.

To produce a precise sustain block using a consistent metal and machine it by hand in the USA costs us much, much, more. Yet, we know by testing that the performance and tone is well worth the cost and only achieved through commercially proven methods.

We are proud of the time spent to create this truly superior product. We have satisfied our own discerning taste for precision guitar components that make real advancements in tone. We hope you will have the opportunity to experience the Ultimate Floyd Rose Experience with our AXN Sustain blocks.

AXN Guitars Hold High Resale Value in Second Hand Sales

Hello friends Johnny here. Recently questions have come across my email about two really cool and awesome AXN Guitars that have shown up in the online used market. We must add that both AXNs were re-sold as used guitars by private owners second hand and held respectively high resale values. This confirms the viability of the brand AXN as an investment.

FYI… AXN guitars is not affiliated in anyway with the sellers on these auction sites. We were made aware by friends and followers via email about the used listings.

I will always be proactive in regards to questions. For kind courteous people with good intentions I will answer near-to-any inquiry. Hopefully this blog post will clear up questions all of you have about the authenticity of these AXNs an their resale values. So lets see what showed on Ebay USA just yesterday in March 2021…

AXNs SOLD AT AUCTION

A 2018 AXN Model 2 Sunset Strip BumbleBee sold on Ebay.uk three weeks ago for just under 3k and this modified AXN ‘83 Standard Prototype sold on an Ebay auction yesterday just under 2K .

THE ORIGINAL GUITAR SOLD BY AXN

This one that sold used on Ebay . Both used auctions were authentic AXNs we sold to private owners. Both the guitars have valid AXN serial numbers visible.

SECONDHAND CONDITION

The banana head AXN = Strait away the used AXN ‘83 Standard was modified after we sold it. Firstly, scalloped fretboards is NOT something we offer at all. Scalloped fretboards has NEVER been available any AXN Guitar. The guitar is quite different than how it left our shop. Also looking at the photos there seems to be a switch-aroo to the Floyd Rose tremolo system since it left our shop in 2019. As it seems even with these substantial modifications the used AXN held its value well.

I hope this info helps all of you with questions. Thank you for making us aware of the used auctions for our guitars. I’m happy to see our guitars are popular! Don’t hesitate to reach out to me anytime in email.

Best Wishes to all, Johnny AXN Guitars
