Solid koa top for rich, evolving tone
The Hartwood Artisan Grand Auditorium features a solid koa top, which delivers a rich, resonant sound that deepens with age. Koa's tonal characteristics combine the warmth of mahogany with the bright sparkle of maple, creating a balanced and versatile tone that suits a wide range of playing styles. Whether you’re fingerpicking or strumming, the guitar's projection and dynamic range will stand out. Koa also offers a striking appearance with its unique grain patterns and natural lustre, making this guitar as beautiful as it sounds.
Comfortable Grand Auditorium body with cutaway
Designed with a Grand Auditorium body shape, this guitar offers a balanced sound with excellent projection. The cutaway design allows easy access to the upper frets, making it perfect for both lead work and complex chords. The size and shape of the body make it comfortable to hold and play, while still delivering the volume and presence needed for performance. This versatility makes the Hartwood Artisan a great choice for musicians who want an all-rounder guitar that excels in multiple playing styles.
Premium materials for superior playability
The combination of a mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, and bone nut and saddle provides a smooth and reliable playing experience. The neck’s hybrid C/D profile strikes a balance between comfort and control, accommodating various hand sizes and playing techniques. Bone components enhance the guitar's sustain and tonal clarity, making each note sound clean and distinct, while the rosewood fretboard adds a familiar, responsive feel.
Reliable gold die-cast tuners
Equipped with gold die-cast machine heads, the Hartwood Artisan ensures smooth, precise tuning every time you pick it up. These tuners are built for durability and consistency, so you can play with confidence knowing your guitar will stay in tune for longer periods. The gold finish also adds a touch of elegance, complementing the guitar’s overall aesthetic and premium feel.
D'Addario strings for vibrant tone
Equipped with D'Addario EXP-16 strings, the Artiste Plus offers enhanced tone and longevity straight out of the box. These coated strings are known for their bright, consistent tone and durability, giving you a guitar that sounds great from the first strum and stays in tune for longer periods of play.
