Crackle Brown/White Off White Brown, Back Off White, Back Crackle Brown/White, Back Brown, Body Closeup

The Badwater Eldorado Electric Guitar has a light-weight single-cutaway alder body, bolt-on maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard. The Eldorado has a comfortable "C" neck profile. A string-thru-body design adds tone and sustain. This unusual guitar is equipped with EMG-designed pickups for hard rocking tones and clean delivery. All hardware is antiqued and anodized including in-line mini tuners, master volume and tone controls, and a six-saddle bridge.

With a distressed body and antiqued hardware, AXL Badwater Series guitars look and feel of ancient artifacts. Even the headstock and backplate have vintage distressing. No area was spared from the destruction. The Badwater Series has received Guitar World's December 2007 Gold Award for Overall Value.

The crackle brown/white finish has a reptilian texture throughout its body. The off-white finish has a rusted, phantom-like appearance. The brown finish model has the look of a museum-quality guitar stored away for decades. The crackle blue finish looks like it was pulled deep from the ocean floor. The crackle black finish evokes the texture of a guitar blackened and burned by lightning.

The Axl Badwater Eldorado Electric Guitar is absolutly worth buying if you are new to guitars or already have a hundred guitars. If you are new, this is a great guitar to learn on. If you are an exsperienced guitarist it will only be worth it if you already have a solid guitar. It is beautiful but i personally could not play it more than 20 minute before i quickly became disapointed and went back to my relativly inexspensive Ibanez RG5EX1(great buy). Buy this guitar if you want some pretty furniture or a cheap guitar to learn but if you want a functional musical instrument look else where. In review perfect for collecting or learning but if you want something quality look else where. Have a nice day and buy this guitar if it is appropriate. (quick note: This guitar probably needs to stay in standard tuning. This guitar is worthless in drop D.)
