I was at Davis GMC trying out pedals & stuff yesterday when I came across this AXL Badwater 1216. It reminded me too much of my (Les Paul) BFG; a well built guitar with sufficient finish to get by, nothing more. So if you are not into this realm of product presentation, you'd think AXL is trying to pull a fast one from you. The pickups are EMG designed Alnico humbuckers which proved to be the strength of this instrument; the satin finished guitar sounded so sweet with its rather light body, there's much clarity to be heard too. You'd notice the cutaway there having a less acute scoop compared to the typical LP design- it's complementing the set-neck's upper access trimming, very similar to the PRS make. All the attraction for a mere $250; one of the best bargain guitar out there.

i've tried this "relic" before (the greyish one) not bad[water] too... but i have a 2nd thought not to acquire it back then...
i deem this a BFG-alike in terms of finishing, the tone is sweet too, much attributable to the lighter body.
Way finishes are available?
thi finish & black- you can call them to check if they have any others... :-)
