Badwater Quality Guitars

A few years ago, I read an article about the Fender EVH Frankenstein Stratocaster left handed electric guitar. I thought it was a big joke, but MAN was I wrong. That strat was designed to look as rough as Eddie’s stage axe right down to the wobbly volume knob. The price tag? A whopping $25000 and only a handful made so they are collectors items now.

I thought to myself that it would be cool if you could buy a new guitar that looked and played as if it had been in use for years. When I ran across the AXL Badwater left hand electric guitar, I looked to the sky and mouthed “thank you” to the guitar gods above.

I had by no means heard of AXL instruments until that time and I ended up being happy at what I discovered. To start with, AXL an amazing comprehensive distinctive line of left handed electric guitars for the enthusiast. The SRO series is based on Fender’s dual cutaway, however I went for a sharper Jacksonish shape. What I want to say is the fact that it looks authentically good with people today.

The Finished Materials

About three finishes of Badwater lefty electric guitars are available: crackle brown, beautiful brown and off-white. Each of these electric guitars is lovely and offer distressed alder bodies as well as antiqued hardware. The guitar neck certainly is a low profile “C” shape for easier access (for novices) and made from Rock Maple overlaid using Rosewood or Maple fret boards. Dot inlays accent the conventional fret areas.

Engineering Hardware

The Alder body is a particular section of the product with the neck of the guitar bolted on the 16th fret. The headstock is standard and has additionally been distressed, allowing this electric guitar with a being used look. Even the AXL company logo is printed on the wood so the theme is retained intact.

About three pickups were installed on each and every piece of equipment; one humbucker and a couple solitary coil EMGs. This particular guitar axe has a five-way pickup selector switch as well as a master volume and two tone controls. A player can certainly build their own tone with this guitar.

The nut is plastic and the Badwater left hand electric guitar SRO is built on a 25 ½” scale. The overall length of the left handed electric guitar is 39 inches.

But how does it play?

With the distressed, weathered materials put into the Badwater left hand electric guitar SRO, the playability is superb. Play it clean for a jazz or chicken pickin’ country genre, then overdrive the axe for rock and metal styling. Those controls and pickup selector mean you can play anything you want and sound any way you want.

The tone from the SRO Badwater guitar is one thing to be adored and respected. AXL has achieved a level of artisanship which is difficult to upstage.

Price tag and benefits

The buying price of this particular left handed electric guitar is exactly what pulled me out at US$199 full price anyplace. You may also discover this Badwater left hand electric guitar for less than US$179 in some places. Because of the characteristics, whistles as well as bells, the worthiness is amazing people. Top quality, tone, fantastic appearance and a more comfortable feel make these guitars the main one you should have a look at in person.
