The AXL USA Bulldog packs a lot of punch into an unbelieveably affordable high-end package. We've started with a solid mahogany slab body and one piece set neck, and outfitted it with top-shelf components like a Lindy Fralin dog-ear P90, TonePros locking wraparound bridge, CTS pots, Orange Drop Capacitor and TonePros Kluson vintage-style tuners. Our secret weapon is the "BITE" switch, a push-pull pot that bypasses the tone potentiometer to give a biting mainline sound, increasing the treble response for shimmer and snarl.

For true custom shop performance, we assemble every Bulldog by hand in our Hayward, CA workshop, from pressing the frets to wiring the electronics. The AXL USA Bulldog is a true rock machine that delivers a powerful bark AND a powerful bite.

AXL is your complete source for original electric guitars and basses. All of our products are designed in the U. S. by a dedicated team of world class artists and engineers. Our AXL USA line is assembled by hand in our workshop in Hayward, CA. Each instrument goes through rigorous field-testing by our R&D department as well as testing from professional musicians throughout the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area. We make sure the final product provides the best possible tone and playability before it gets to your hands.

Our U. S. design team also oversees the production of the award-winning AXL USA electric guitars. These custom-shop style, hand-assembled instruments have earned high marks from players and the media. The SRO Classic was awarded Summer NAMM 2011's Best-in-Show honors, the SRO Artist was awarded Guitar World Magazine's Gold Award for performance, and the AXL USA Bulldog received a Premier Gear award from Premier Guitar.
