AXL Introduces The Badwater 1216 Electric Guitar

April 02, 2009

Capitalizing on the successful and critically acclaimed Badwater series, AXL releases the all-new Badwater 1216 electric guitar for players who want the individuality of a distressed Badwater finish on a single cutaway humbucker guitar.

AXL Badwater guitars offer players unique finishes and aged components in an exceptionally well-designed and playable package. The Badwater 1216 expands the line by adding a dual-humbucker guitar with a set neck.

The Badwater 1216 (AL-820) is built with a set mahogany neck, 2 EMG-designed Alnico humbuckers and a classic-style single cutaway design. The guitar's rosewood fretboard helps deliver a warm, thick tone. The scale length is a traditional 24 3/4" for vintage punch. The 1216 will be available in all five popular Badwater finishes, crackle blue, crackle black, crackle brown, antique white and antique brown. Each 1216 guitar body has been distressed individually by the AXL workshop, so no two are alike. The 1216 comes with carefully distressed pickguard, tone and volume knobs, and anodized tuning machines, bridge assembly and strap buttons for a unique look and vintage feel.

The Badwater 1216 single cutaway offers players a guitar that is as individual as their playing style. The Badwater 1216 has a list price of $299.99, and will be available in time for Summer 2009.

The Badwater 1216 is the newest addition to the popular AXL Badwater Series guitars. AXL Guitars is also the builder of the Wavepoint, Jacknife and Marquee Series electric guitars and basses.

List: $299.99/ available Summer 2009
