Constructed with a solid koa top and body finished with a natural gloss, the Artiste OM not only sounds the part, but looks the part too. Whether you're performing at a gig or practicing at home, the Artiste's appearance and sound quality are unmatched.
Scaled down 'travel' shape
Travel guitars have a smaller body shape, making them popular amongst younger artists, travelling musicians and smaller players. The artiste travel guitar features a C-shaped mahogany neck and smooth purpleheart fretboard, offering an unparalleled playing experience that caters to both beginners and seasoned players alike. Plus, with the two in-built strap buttons, you can be ready to take the stage at any moment!
Designed for durability
Understanding the rigors that instruments often endure, the Hartwood Artiste is built to last. It features scrolled X-shape Engelmann spruce bracing, enhancing its structural integrity and resilience against bumps and knocks. This thoughtful construction ensures that the guitar not only maintains its beautiful sound over time but also stands up to the demands of regular play, making it a reliable companion for your musical journey.
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.
