Our philosophy of
guitar manufacturing
The founder of Deviser Kei Yatsuzuka began working with guitar
manufacturers in the early 1970s. It was here he began his
ambitious goal of creating second to none quality acoustic
guitars to meet his own high standards. In 1977 Kei founded
the Headway factory in order to produce guitars of a quality that
could be compared to old legendary guitars made in the USA.
At the Headway factory we have followed the traditional way of
guitar manufacturing. This is represented by precise handcrafting
and our endeavor for the best method in every aspect of guitar
manufacturing.
Today we have moved our main production to the successor factory
Aska. Here we continue manufacturing Headway guitars, which
have been referred to as the worlds highest quality.

The new Philippine factor y

In 2007, we established a new factory in the Philippines to continue

craft the correct shape of guitar components. By using router bits

providing quality instruments at reasonable prices.In order to

of workers as the most important factor in building guitars.

The reason why we chose the Philippines as the place for our
new factory, is not only because it is close to Japan and easy
to communicate with each other, but also for the music-loving
character of the Philippine people.Since Western music has been
popular there for a long time, guitar culture is deeply rooted in the
Philippines. The employees gathering at our factory are not just
manual labourers, but working as luthiers who love instruments,
guitars, and music. That is why they can share the same ambitions
with us and spare no effort to improve the quality of guitar building.
