Artifact Electrical Instrument Co.
Heirlooms
from the future.
Original electric instruments.
Built in the USA.
The shape
of things to come.
Early electrical design had a confidence we’re drawn to. A new machine could change everyday life and still be an object worth admiring. That belief in useful, beautiful things informs every Artifact.
Bauhaus clarity and the precision of machined parts inform the design. The guitar’s straight cutaway recalls Selmer-Maccaferri instruments; Art Deco appears in the smaller architectural details. These influences become something you can play, maintain, and pass on.
Where the idea comes from ↗Guitars and reverberation.
Inside the joint.
Under the strings.
The Bolt-Through neck is part of the Standard Series. Our AE-CS1 bridge is in development for later builds; the first batch uses Mastery or ABM hardware. Take a closer look at how both designs work.
