While slightly related to the Marquee Capricorn in design, the AXL Badwater Capricorn is a relic guitar that has its own unique features and sound.  It's design mixes some classic relic elements with a more modern appearance to create a guitar that is both attractive to those looking for a different kind of new guitar and those who want a vintage or replica style model.

This unique relic guitar from AXL features an offset, distressed solid alder body with a maple neck.  The body is done in a double cutaway style.  The fretboard is made from rosewood.  The Badwater Capricorn uses two EMG-designed single coil Alnico pickups.  The instrument also uses independent volume controls for each of the pickups so players can easily decide if they want warm and fat tones or want to sound more aggressive and crispy.  The pickguard is an interesting antiqued two-piece affair that looks more classic but features a modern edge to it.  Likewise, the bridge is done in a vintage style, and when combined with the elephant ear tuners, you’ve got a guitar that crosses the line between relic and modern.  The AXL Badwater Capricorn can be purchased from any authorized AXL retailer, and if there isn’t one in your area, the guitar can be ordered and shipped.
