Announcing a new model from Oakland Axe Factory: The "Falcon"! This specific guitar is the prototype for this new model, and based on this guitar a lot of changes and tweaks were made to really make a perfect comfortable instrument that will sound, feel, and look amazing. Please note that the guitar you see in this video is not representative of the final instrument, as the production model has gone through A LOT more development and tweaking!
YOU can get in on this, and get one of the production guitars really soon! We'll be doing an introductory run of guitars to launch this model, and we will be offering at a really nice discounted price made possible by doing a run.
We will be starting off with the 7 string model, which I am very excited about, so head over to Oakland Axe Factory's Facebook page and make sure you hit "like" so you have it stored and can see updates as they come rolling in:

-Hard ash body with flamed maple top
-Hard ash neck with wenge stripes and a maple centre
-Hipshot headless system
-DiMarzio pickups (D Activator and Ionizer)
-lightly flamed maple fretboard

-29" scale, 20" radius
