The Artifact Difference
Every Artifact Electric guitar is built with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring unmatched tone, playability, and longevity.
Premium Tonewoods: Thermally modified and carefully chosen for optimum resonance and coupling.
Patent Pending Necks and Hardware: Radical new designs that feel at once modern and familiar; optimizing and elevating the traditional bolt-on guitar.

Premium Fretwork: Perfect intonation, effortless playability, and unmatched beauty.
All Artifacts are built with premium components for reliability and sonic excellence. Each instrument is finished in gently patinaed classic colors, making it as much a piece of art as an essential tool for decerning musicians.
