(Needles to say that Finland does not normally get any "extra points" from the Swedish)

UK Guitars website have tested the Flaxwood Rautia

"As a guitarist would you choose the Rautia over a similarly designed PRS or a top of the range Parker? If you're looking for a truly innovative guitar that will set you apart from the traditional crowd of PRS, Gibson, Fenders - then yes!  The guitar carries enough tonal range through its on board tone controls and pick-up selector switch to leave you to concentrate on playing rather than twiddling the amp's bass, mid and treble settings. All in all, it's a fun guitar to play both from it's tremendously comfortable and light body through to its unique feel and range." 

Total Guitar magazine have reviewed the Flaxwood RZZ in the November 2004 issue  

”We're impressed. Someone has put a lot of thought, and no doubt a few late nights, into design of this unique guitar. The feel and the sound of the RZZ makes a strong case for composite guitars. The guitar is flawlessly put together and we had lot of fun with those P90 pickups. However we would suggest that fans of heavier sounds should look at the company's other guitars that are fitted with Humbuckers. Just make sure you that you try at least one"

Guitarist magazine introduced the Flaxwood RZZ on the middle page in the Summer 2004 issue

Flaxwood RZZ  "Best Gear First".

Finland's biggest music magazine Riffi tested Flaxwood guitars in the nr7/2004 issue

"Structure, material, design, playability and tone; the Flaxwood has all the characteristics that a quality guitar should have. With good reason we can wish Flaxwood Guitars good luck on their way to the World's guitar markets"
