Elegance meets performance
The Hartwood Artiste orchestra model (OM) electro-acoustic guitar combines contemporary design with high-performance parts and electronics. Constructed with a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany body, the Artiste OM not only sounds the part, but looks the part too. With a natural gloss finish, complemented by a unique binding, you can be sure that this guitar will stand out on any stage. Whether you're performing at a gig or practicing at home, the Artiste's appearance and sound quality are unmatched.
At the headstock, six reliable diecast tuners provide accurate and stable tuning and two in-built strap buttons on the body allow you to play in whatever position is most comfortable for you. Whatever the occasion, the Artiste OM will be by your side!
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 Artiste's amplification options have you covered.
Comfortable 'Orchestra Model' shape
Designed with player comfort in mind, orchestra model guitars have a smaller body shape, making them popular amongst younger artists, travelling musicians and smaller players. The Artiste OM also features an armrest, C-shaped mahogany neck and smooth purpleheart fretboard, offering an unparalleled playing experience that caters to both beginners and seasoned players alike.
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.
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.
