Product Highlight:

By using the guidelines setup by the Forest Stewardship Council we have developed the “eco-Axe” - An electric guitar built from “Smartwood” for the body, recycled steel for the bridge components and a graphite neck for sustainability. Along with other guitars built using environmentally friendly techniques or materials, the Eco Axe is our totally eco-Friendly Model. Guitars have an incredible feel, they have endless sustain and are low impact on the environment. This adds an increased value to you, the guitarist.
