High quality handcraft and workmanship
The heart of the Flaxwood process. Flaxwood Guitars are manufactured and assembled mostly by hand, with excruciating attention paid to every last detail. The luthiers and staff working at Flaxwood are musicians themselves who take great pride in their work and spare no effort to make good on the high standards we have set for our instruments.

Respecting tradition and embracing modern technology
From the outset, it was a question of principle for us that the long history of the guitar was something to be respected and studied carefully. It is impossible to reinvent tradition; however, it is possible to learn from and improve upon tradition to create something new. Flaxwood Guitars have combined what we feel are the best characteristics of known guitar-building materials, and created an innovative new tonewood that is unique to Flaxwood Guitars alone. In keeping with this pioneering spirit, the further study and development of modern technology will always be an integral part of designing new Flaxwood Guitars.

Green values
Finland is a country rich in forests, and timber and its related industries have been central to the everyday lives of its people since times immemorial. An innate respect for nature follows naturally. The Earth's forests are not an unlimited supply of raw material; looking to preserve rather than to deplete, we set out to create a natural and ecological alternative to rare tonewoods. With the creation of flaxwood, we feel we have fulfilled this goal.

Quality control
Each Flaxwood guitar is assembled and adjusted by experienced luthiers. Combined with flaxwood's characteristic stability as a material, this ensures that every Flaxwood is a high quality instrument. Each guitar is meticulously inspected and tested before it leaves our workshop to ensure consistent quality and playability.

Product development
In addition to our continuing research in the field of material technology and instrument building, we are committed to constantly developing and improving our line of guitars together with input from players of all levels the world over. Flaxwood Guitars is always interested in hearing your ideas on how to make our instruments meet the demands of you as musicians. Do not hesitate to contact us with any and all suggestions and ideas you may have.
