Solid spruce top for dynamic sound
The Hartwood Artisan Orchestra Model features a solid Sitka spruce top, providing excellent clarity and dynamic range. Spruce is responsive to different playing styles, making this guitar perfect for musicians who want tonal versatility. Its bright top end pairs beautifully with the warmth of the solid mahogany back and sides, giving the guitar a balanced sound with a pronounced midrange. This combination makes the OM model an excellent choice for players who favour fingerpicking or nuanced strumming, as it delivers a focused, articulate tone that works well for solo performances or ensemble settings.
Orchestra model body for comfort and clarity
The Orchestra Model (OM) body shape is designed to offer a more focused and balanced sound compared to larger body types like dreadnoughts. With a slightly smaller and more comfortable body size, the OM shape provides excellent note definition and clarity, especially in the midrange. This makes it a popular choice for fingerstyle players and those who prefer a lighter touch. The OM shape also ensures a comfortable playing experience, particularly when seated, making it ideal for long practice sessions or intimate performances.
Stunning abalone binding for a premium look
The abalone binding on the Hartwood Artisan Orchestra Model enhances its visual appeal, adding a touch of luxury to its natural finish. The shimmering abalone runs along the edges of the body and rosette, catching the light and drawing attention to the guitar’s elegant design. Paired with maize-yellow ABS binding, the abalone accents create a striking contrast that highlights the guitar's craftsmanship and attention to detail. This beautiful feature complements the instrument’s refined tone, making it a standout choice both visually and sonically.
Gold open-gear tuners for precision tuning
Equipped with gold open-gear tuners, the Hartwood Artisan Orchestra Model ensures precise and stable tuning. These vintage-inspired tuners provide a smooth, reliable tuning experience while adding a classic aesthetic to the guitar. The gold finish complements the guitar’s overall design, while the open-gear mechanism offers efficient tuning adjustments. Whether you're performing live or practising at home, these tuners provide the stability and accuracy you need for a consistent playing experience.
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.
