Here for sale we have an AXL Guitars Badwater Eldorado in Black Crackle finish. Made in China in 2008, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising an Alder body, Maple neck and 21 Medium Jumbo fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is equipped with Distressed hardware including 6-Saddle string-thru-body bridge and a set of Distressed tuning machines. The pickups are a pair of EMG designed AXL Alnico single-coils, these are wired to a 3-way selector, master volume and a master tone. The Maple neck plays very well, with the 'C' profile feeling comfortable and articulate in the hand and providing a smooth glossy surface that is easy to navigate. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant to the touch, and with its 16" radius, offers a flat and consistent playing experience right the way up the register. This is enhanced by the Medium Jumbo frets which assist with bending and vibrato techniques. The familiar lines of the body feel great in the arms, and the traditional control layout means that you can really focus on your playing. The EMG designed AXL Alnico single-coils provide a rich variety of tonal opportunities. The neck position is warm and round, and offers crystal clarity with clean sounds. The bridge position is bright and snappy, with plenty of the bite required for rock lead tones, offering a harmonically saturated distortion that easily cuts through the mix. The simple control layout offers comprehensive control of your sound without being intrusive to the playing experience.
