In order to celebrate our independence from guitars that do not inspire us, we roll out a two for one special edition of the Guitar of the Day Holiday Edition!!!

Who needs fireworks when you have Flaxwood? Tell me that these do not inspire you to wail out the first few bars of the Star Spangled banner, Hendrix style…….or maybe that is just me, but I am no longer allowed to do so at our local park due to some issue with setting things afire in a public park being a no no.

Any who, on to the show.

The Flaxwood Voima HSH-T in Tobaccoburst.

Humbucker muscle and single coil clarity

To bring you the best of two worlds, the Flaxwood Voima HSH-T in Tobaccoburst (voima = strength, vigour, fortitude, force) features two humbuckers and one single coil pickup, all Seymour Duncan. Like the Laine, the Voima also comes equipped with a blender pot, which gradually blends the neck pickup signal with that of the bridge pickup, giving you a virtually limitless sonic palette from which to find your sound.

  • Pre-set mic and pickup for optimum performance
  • Soundhole remote includes volume and mic trim controls

Finland drops the Hammer on Nashville!

Flaxwood brought two new models to Summer NAMM, the Flaxwood DZM-N Vasara and the Flaxwood 3S-T Haari Special. In an ever growing lineup of art and sound, Flaxwood is making sure that they are able to provide you the right tone, no matter your playing style.

The Flaxwood DZM-N Vasara, which translates into “Hammer” in English, features DiMarzio Crunchlab and FRED® pickups. The fat, crunchy, power chord goodness is topped off with a Gotoh Tune-O-Matic bridge for screaming harmonics and sustain for days. The Flaxwood DZM-N Vasara is on it’s way to the eager hands of readers of the heavy rock and metal persuasion. It is is available in Piki black gloss finish.

The Flaxwood 3S-T Haari Special provides the craftsmanship and tone we have come to know and love from Flaxwood but they have take it a step further by offer a unique pickup configuaration with a Seymour Duncan SP90 in the neck complemented with two Seymour Duncan SSL-6′s. This arrangements gives you that fat, strat like tone that can be dialed into a more soul full jazz vibe with a turn of the featured 5 way switch with unique wiring that allows for all three pickups to used multiple configurations. This is all wrapped in a Saraste tobaccoburst.

All I know about Lake Placid is A) there is a giant crocodile that lives in them waters there and B) it is one of the sweetest colors to grace the finish of an electric guitar. Our Guitar of the Day, an awesome guitar, stripped down to bare wood looks killer in this finish. And for our Lefty’s out there we want you to be able to experience the joy of owning an axe in Lake Placid Blue. Our Guitar of the Day is the G&L Legacy Lefty in Lake Placid Blue.

The G&L Legacy Lefty in Lake Placid Blue comes with a Rosewood fretboard and Tortoise pickguard.

Also includes Deluxe Tolex Case at no charge!

Click on over to see what I am talking about in regards to this Lake Placid, and by that I mean the sweetness, not the killer crocodile.
