Economical Badwater Lefty 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.

The headstock is normal and has also been distressed, allowing this electric guitar an antique, utilized appearance.

The player can easily craft their unique sounds with this particular left hand masterpiece.
