Pristine tone from premium woods
The Hartwood Artiste electro-acoustic dreadnought is designed to deliver a sound that's both powerful and nuanced. With a full-sized dreadnought body made of premium mahogany and topped with solid Sitka spruce, the Artiste combines premium tonewoods for a rich, resonant tone with bright, clear highs, ensuring that every note stands out, whether strummed or picked. The guitar's construction promotes a balanced tone that's ideal for a wide range of musical styles, making it a versatile choice for musicians of all levels.
Versatile amplification options
The integration of a Fishman Presys pre-amp elevates the guitar's versatility, allowing you to seamlessly switch between unplugged and amplified performances. With controls for tone, volume, and phase, plus an in-built LED tuner, artists have everything they need to ensure their sound is always pitch-perfect. Whether you're busking in the streets or taking the stage, the Sonata's amplification options have you covered.
Playability and comfort
With a focus on playability, the Hartwood Artiste features a mahogany neck and a purpleheart fretboard. This pairing not only enhances the guitar's overall tone but also offers a smooth, comfortable playing surface for fingers. The fretboard hosts 20 pristinely polished frets, providing ample space for creative expression without compromising on comfort. Whether practicing for hours or performing on stage, the Artiste Dreadnought ensures a comfortable playing experience.
Tuning stability and reliability
Keeping your guitar in tune should be the least of your worries, and with the Hartwood Artiste, it is. Equipped with six reliable diecast tuners, this guitar offers accurate and stable tuning, so you can focus more on playing and less on tuning. Whether you're a beginner learning the ropes or a seasoned player performing live, these tuners ensure your guitar stays in tune, providing peace of mind and allowing you to concentrate on what truly matters - making music.
Aesthetic appeal
The Artiste Dreadnought doesn't just sound good; it looks the part, too. Finished with ivory binding and boasting the distinctive Hartwood headstock shape, this guitar has a truly classic aesthetic that will appeal to traditionalists and modern players alike. The satin finish not only protects the guitar but also highlights the natural beauty of the tonewoods, ensuring that it will turn heads for its sound and its looks, making it a proud addition to any guitarist's collection.
