Like their previous offerings, the Falcon is available in open selection where you can put together your preferred pickups and hardware to build your own personalized electric guitar.

With it’s headless design, this electric guitar is as efficient and practical as it gets without sacrificing playability and tone. Compared to regular electric guitars, the Falcon will look stripped down, but this is only true of the wood mass, weight and size because the company aims to provide the same functionality, playability and tone.

According to the company, “The goal behind the Falcon was to make a guitar that pushes the boundaries, yet feels familiar and comfortable…”

To achieve this, Oakland Axe Factory decided to use a sleek shallow C-profile neck, and paired with a deep contoured body. To ensure comfort, the top of the body is carved while the back has rounded edges. The body shape is designed to avoid any hard edges, especially in places where the guitar comes into contact with your forearm or your body. Even the belly cut is designed to hug your chest, along with aesthetic considerations. The result is a body shape that’s as comfortable and convenient as possible.

The neck’s shallow C-profile and 20″ fretboard radius is meant to provide familiar and comfortable playability. The scale length varies depending on the configuration, 6-string is 25″, 7-string is 26.5″ and 8-string is 28″.

Oakland Axe Factory designed the falcon to have a comfortable body, easy upper fret access and weight balance, while having a compact size. This is to make them easy to carry around and store, ideal for active musicians that are always on the move.
