The body was small and Strat-typed with a trem or fixed bridge. The body pattern was changed to slot-type from 2000 to 2001 and after 2007. The necks on the first run were manufactured by Musikraft, Inc., owned by Gulab Gidwani, from 1994 to 1996. Warmoth necks were used starting 2001, and later necks were made by Delaney Guitars since 2007. Rosewood or maple wood were used for the 22 fret necks. Some other specs are Kent Armstrong pickups, Kahler tremolo, Gotoh bridge, and Sperzel graduating, locking and tuning keys.[5] In 2001, the holes were changed to body slots, and the body used thicker coating and brighter colors.[6] The Abel Axe with holes and Kahler trem weighs approximately Шаблон:Convert and measures Шаблон:Convert, and the Abel Axe with holes and the fixed bridge also weighs approximately Шаблон:Convert (instead of a routed cavity for a trem, the unmilled metal remains and keeps the weight the same as if there were a trem); the body itself weighs Шаблон:Convert.The heel flange has the thickness of about Шаблон:Convert.
