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. Case sold separately.
