Dax&Co. Ironhorse 2022 Black/Steel Etched Striped guitar W/ Hardshell Case & COA!

Here at Dax&Co. Guitars, we set out to create a guitar that is not only new and exciting, but with a familiar feel almost as if it’s been around forever.

Introducing the 2022 Dax&Co. Ironhorse guitar. Years in the making...it's finally here! Forget everything you think you know about tone woods and finishes, this guitar will blow you away with both playability and tone.

What is it exactly? Anyone who follows us knows that Dax has been working on these designs for years and he finally found the magic formula that he was looking for. 

The bodies are made of all solid wood. A single loaded steel pickguard is mounted to the top of the guitar, not recessed, with everything integrated, even the bridge! The guard covers almost the entire top of the guitar.

The body is solid wood in the center which helps control feedback and allows for a string through design. The sides are hollow under the guard with only two "f" sound holes in the steel to help control resonance and feedback, much like an old jazz guitar or Thinline.

The geometrical patterns on the steel pickguards are hand etched using low voltage electrical current while being submerged in salt water, then different patina's are applied for different colors and effects...all under a clearcoat to prevent corrosion.

YOU WILL LOVE THIS NECK! Ask anyone who plays one of Dax's guitars and they will tell you the neck work is second to none! This is no exception. One of the most comfortable necks you will play. It feels like a vintage neck that's been worn in over time. The fretboard edges have been hand rolled, the finish left off of the back of the neck and the grain sealed for ULTRA fast playing and no "drag". The soft "v" profile just feels right.

TONE TO DIE FOR! Each Ironhorse guitar is loaded with Rio Grande pickups, simply the best pickups being produced in the USA today! We've tried all of the top brands but it wasn't until Dax installed the Rio Grande pickups that the magic happened. These pickups, when  installed into the resonant steel, produce warm complex tones with harmonic overtones. They have an edge to them for sizzling leads and controllable feedback, while still retaining brightness, amazing note articulation and string clarity. It’s pure magic and a sound all its own.

The decorative steel plate mounted to the top of the headstock not only looks cool, but eliminates the need for string ferrules since the holes keep the tuner shafts in perfect alignment. The staggered height Gotoh tuners eliminate the need for string trees and put even string tension over the nut and hold prefect tune and pitch.

The guitars are extremely well balanced and weigh only between 6-8lbs. on average.

Serial # 7 (how cool is that!)

This guitar comes with a deluxe embossed black tolex hardshell case with orange interior, a signed and numbered Dax&Co. COA, and some cool case candy (strap and cord colors may vary from photo)

Thanks for looking and Happy Jamming!
