Best Answer

The ax refers to the motion of smashing the guitar on stage by holding it from the headstock area. Perhaps first immortalized by Jimi Hendrix's historic performance at the Monterrey Pop Festival in 1967. Not unlike an ax, one is holding the guitar from the lighter end while swinging down. The common wood and metal construction of the two helps reinforce the reference.
