Small Yet Mighty Parlour Design
Draw inspiration from an old school slender parlour design. This version of the Hartwood Artiste features a narrow lower and upper bout. The slim design boosts your mid range, with a sweet toned guitar that packs a punch. This age old body shape pushes the sound of the Hartwood Artiste to the max with a deceptively loud solid tonewood construction. A joy to play, the parlour guitar is a lightweight offering that is great for travelling, gigging and busking.
Comfortable playing experience
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 your fingers. The fretboard hosts 18 pristinely polished frets, providing ample space for creative expression without compromising on comfort. Whether practicing for hours or performing on stage, the Artiste Parlour 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 retro oval machine heads, this guitar offers accurate and stable tuning action. Whether you're a beginner learning the ropes or a seasoned player performing live, the tuners ensure your guitar will remain in tune for extended periods, providing peace of mind and allowing you to concentrate on what truly matters - making music.
Equipped for warmth and balance
Fitted with D'Addario EXP-16 strings, this guitar offers a warm and balanced tone right out of the box. These coated strings provide longevity and consistent performance, making them ideal for both practice and performance. Enjoy a smooth playing experience with enhanced tonal quality.
