The Novax AX-6 and AX-7 Semi-hollowbody Guitars

AX-7 with optional highly figured, bookmatched maple top

The Novax AX-6 or AX-7 is an arched-top semi-hollowbody guitar that combines traditional design aesthetic with modern styling. Created for the jazz musician, the AX-7 features the patented Novax Fanned-Fret system for rich, warm trebles and clear, focused basses with an extra-long bass scale length for our low-A 7 string that delivers a “tight” tone, and an extra short treble scale length for our high-A model. The AX-6 has our exclusive XR (Extended Range) neck as standard specification.

The standard model has a solid spruce top with a fully chambered mahogany back, a mahogany neck and ebony fretboard. [AX6: $3,500. AX7: $3,700.]

The AX-6 and AX-7 guitars are also available with a figured, bookmatched maple top which produces a brighter tone with more “edge” (see photo.) [Add $200.00]

The basic electronics package includes a Bartolini “soapbar” passive neck pickup which is specially voiced for a warm, clear jazz tone.

Options include a passive bridge pickup and 5-way rotary selector switch [add $200.00] which is voiced to complement the neck pickup or a piezo bridge pickup system with stereo preamp and independent volume control [add $525.00.]

This comfortable, well-balanced guitar will delight you with its responsive tone and natural playability.
