NEWS: New AXL Badwater colours
Here’s the press release about the new colours:
AXL Releases Two New Badwater Colors
Capitalizing on the successful Badwater Series of electric guitars, the new Badwater colors, Dark Grey and Dark Red add a further individualized element of unique vintage style to the award-winning Badwater guitars.
The Dark Grey and Dark Red (AS-820-DGY/DRD) Badwater guitars are assembled from the same quality components found in the entire Badwater series of guitars. The double-cutaway Alder body is hand-distressed for a vintage look and worn-in feel. The rock maple neck is finished with a satin stain for ease and comfort, and the rosewood fretboard helps give the guitar a warm and articulate tone. The new Badwaters come standard with excellent-sounding EMG-Designed pickups — two single coils and a humbucker — for a full complement of different tones, selectable by the aged 5-way selector switch. The rest of the hardware is carefully aged to give the guitars a classic vibe, and the headstock has the AXL badge burned directly into the wood.
The all-new Badwater colors add additional depth to a unique and innovative line of guitars that offer guitarists the look and feel of vintage instruments without the exorbitant price tag. With a list price of $239.99, Badwater guitars are a great-sounding alternative to pricier vintage-style instruments.
List: $239.99. Available Now.

Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), Blunt, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Bandcamp or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
