AXL Badwater SRO Electric Guitar, Brown Review
I just picked up one of these Guitars the other day on a hunch. And so far for the cost (Under 200.00 shipped to my front door) I am really blown away. So for all you folks who want to try the relic style with out spending big bucks - This Guitar might be your ticket.
I was truly impressed with this guitar right out of the box. It has a narrow neck but the frets feel great - no sharp edges to deal with.
From what I have seen every Axl Badwater has its own personel relicing - No two are exactly alike.
The EMG Designed Pickups really shine! Two singles and a Humbucker in the bridge - and these guys are super Quiet. And to me very Strat sounding. 5 way switch,1 vol and two tone.
This guitar is alder and very light with alot of acoustic tone.
The guitar is reliced very well - it appears well used and looks like it has been lying in someones closet for the last thirty years.
Though allot of folks are comparing these to a Strat to me its quite diffrent- other than the double cutaway. The body is really closer to a Duo or Mustang with its narrow waist.
All the hardware has a antiqued bronze finish that looks really good and unique. Everything on this guitar looks old with the eception of the 3 EMG's.
Now keep in mind I have based my review on the affordability of this great little guitar. and the unique coolness.
These days I spend allot of time seeking out low cost winners. And this is surely one of them. I have a spent a lot of money on high end guitars but no longer.
The badwater - If your into Heavy Relic guitars they are well worth a look!
