Information

The Londaxe is a very rare guitar made in mid 90's by Emex. The guitar was designed by Jerry Auerswald, who also designed custom guitars for Prince. The guitar appears to be a more abstract version of the Fender Telecaster.

Matthew Bellamy used the Londaxe during the Showbiz era, in yellow colour. A video of Matt using this guitar can be seen here.

Additional Information

The guitar was featured in the "Uno" music video. It was supposedly destroyed at the Astoria in London, in 2000 after Showbiz. Watch the clip here.

While the guitar was believed to be destroyed at the Astoria in 2000, it was discovered to be used 2 weeks later during the Sunburn mimed performance on Top of the Pops with heavy amounts of tape on the back covering a crack in the wood. It was recently discovered that the guitar was repaired and is now owned by Esparoba1 on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@Esparoba1) and the guitar can be seen in some of the Muse covers with the MiDi pickup still attached to the bridge.

Touring

The guitar was primarily used during the Showbiz era for gigging in 1999, before it was destroyed in early 2000.
