was on musicradar forum,and someone was asking about them.i must admit,that i hadn’t heard of them before.so after a bit of googling,i came across this beauty (£185.00.that cannot be right surely 😯 http://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/products/axl_badwater_1216_electric_guitar_distressed_white.asp i was currently saving for a squier classic vibe tele (to get in january).would i be mad to go for one of these instead? i really like it (it looks badass/individual 😀 what do you think? 🙂

I have one of their basses. It’s a clone of a Precision Bass. It’s pretty good for the money

This help?

They seem to get mixed reviews but most say for the money you can do a lot worse

Looks like Les Paul copy, so it’s going to sound very different to the Tele.

It’s very pretty.

And the basic rule is every penny spent on “finish” wasn’t spent on wood, electrics or time to build up to precision in the factory.

Think of the level of guitar your thinking of as being “apollo” level. Yuo might lose less, and find it easier, spending at least Carerra, if not Trek/Marin/Orange HT level.

A nice instrument, is like a bike in so many ways. Pride of ownership, functionality and ease of use, ect ect.

I would look for late 80’s to mid 9-‘s Japanese Fender Tele, as you were after a Tele originally, and the Jap ones were well built but cheaper. I got myself a Mexican Strat recently, and it does feel really DFS compared to my Gibson SG I already had.
