Add to Compare2015 Artinger Convertible, All-Koa
Pop the top and ride, ride, ride. Here’s a sweet piece of lutherie from the one and only Matt Artinger—the 2015 double Convertible bedecked with Flamed Koa hollow body and Artinger Electric City pickups. The twin F holes are both “convertible” with their removable covers, coil tap for single coil crunch at the touch of a knob, and a tight, tight Flamed Mahogany neck to boot.
The tone of these Electric City humbuckers is fat, juicy, and rich. It’s so much fun to play with this powerhouse! More than dynamic enough to fit right in for Jazz, Blues, Rock, you name it. Additionally, Matt inlaid a series of vines along the fretboard and headplate for a final touch of beauty and elegance on this Artinger Convertible.Other keywords: cedar creek, electric guitar, hollowbody, hollow-body, gotoh

Add to Compare2015 Artinger Venetian Hollow Mahogany/European Spruce Electric City Artinger Pickup
We’ve got another gorgeous offering from the workshop of Matt Artinger–a 2015 Venetian Hollow in European Spruce and Mahogany! Between those choice woods and an all-East-Indian-Rosewood neck, this electric guitar is dressed to the nines with an Electric City Artinger humbucker pickup and gold Waverly tuners.
A smoking Jazz machine with the single pickup, this semi-hollow is much lighter than a typical Jazz box, and is easy on the left hand with an oil-finished neck profile and slinky low action. The voice has a gorgeously clear bottom end, with a middle register that has an articulate punch that’s excellent for fingerstyle arrangements and present, crisp trebles. And when we cranked the amp to 11, all that clarity and drive was still there, ready for some Jazzy action!

Add to Compare2022 Åstrand Å-SJ-C, Madagascar Rosewood/Swiss Alpine Moonspruce
Subtle beauty. Slinky setup, maximum clarity, aesthetics that showcase the quality of the materials, and the builder’s eye for curve and line. This 2022 Åstrand Å-SJ-C is a feat. Madagascar Rosewood body with Swiss Alpine Moonspruce top plus cutaway, satin neck, EVO frets, cosmo black Gotoh 510 tuners, wrapped in a Visesnut case. We would put this up against pretty much anything else at the shop; a fearsome instrument for the modern fingerstylist’s arsenal.

Add to Compare2017 Åstrand Å-OM, Madagascar Rosewood/European Moonspruce
Ted Åstrand grants us the resonant gift with this 2017 Å-OM. Madagascar Rosewood back and sides paired with a European Alpine Moonspruce top, 25 inch scale, and slotted headstock; “Scissor Bird” fretboard inlay and Koa bindings to tie it all together. The 14-fret neck is rubbed down to a feather-smooth velvety finish, and the C profile has a faint peak that almost minutely hints at a V. Nickel Waverly tuners offset the Rosewood headstock veneer, and the fiery-dark grain of the Rosewood bridge similarly sets off the creamy expanse of the Moon Spruce top.
This Å-OM has a lively voice which errs on the side of dry articulation over enveloping overtones. The upper register cuts well, pairs nicely with the crunchy mids. The bass response is light and energetic rather than dark, which isn’t to say the overall tone suffers from an atrophied bass. Rather, the voice is exceedingly well-balanced, with even response across all the registers and great note separation. The shorter scale and matte-finished neck make for a comfortable playing experience, and boasting a fighting weight of 4lbs 1oz this Åstrand feels quick and agile in your hands.
