Product Description
Artist Delta2EQ Solid Wood OM Style Acoustic Guitar with EQ
The Artist Delta2EQ is one of the highest quality acoustic guitars we sell. This guitar offers big-time quality at a very decent price not only as a seriously great blues box but also as that brilliant all-rounder that will earn kudos in any playing situation, no matter what the requirement may be.
Built of solid timbers throughout beginning with a closely grained solid Sitka spruce top which is complemented by beautifully figured solid Mahogany back and sides this guitar is definitely a class above. Ebony has been the timber of choice for both fretboard and bridge, which not only looks good but feels great under the fingers. To top this off is the use of a lovely walnut laminate on the headstock and stunning purfling around the top and the back. A bone nut and compensated bone saddle and nicely geared open-backed vintage machine heads only add to this impressive instrument.
The attention to detail on the Delta2 is ultimately confirmed by the guitars' internal structure, which sees scalloped ""X"" bracing employed allowing the top to ""move"" in natural synergy with a player's attack.
While the Delta2 retains many of the traditional characteristics of Artist's popular ""OM"" series it should not be confused with these great instruments. This guitar is a very different beast. It lies somewhere between an ""OM"" and the more bluesy ""OOO"" guitars but the Delta1 has a noticeably deeper body than either of these two guitars measuring 4 inches at the upper bout and 4x9/16 inches at the lower bout. This deeper body profile allows for the guitar's sonic characteristics to really shine through.
Even when this guitar is electrified there has been greater attention to detail applied with the nicely compact ""Fishman Ink"" preamp system being utilised. The preamp employs a very small footprint on the guitar's side while the 9-volt battery is housed in a similarly small separate compartment near the tail strap button- a very efficient and complementary unit.
This is a truly great guitar - the best yet in the Artist Guitars acoustic range and at a bargain price when you consider the level of quality on offer. Why not check it out?

Write a reviewQuality allrounder at a fantastic price.
I've had this guitar for a couple of months now and before I start my review, I would like to point out I purchased it as a customer return. As I already own 2 solid wood Artist acoustics, (OM & Dreadnought) I bought this guitar as an all rounder to play in different tunings. As usual for Artist Guitars, the guitar was presented beautifully with just a slight lowering of the action to suit my preference the only setup needed. Build quality, action, finish and comfort of playing are all first class. I will say that initially, I thought the tone and sustain wasn't quite as good as my other two acoustics, ($500 & $200 dearer) but as I said, I bought the Delta2EQ as a customer return. After about 6 weeks, I finally got around to replacing the strings (which were looking a little tired) with my personal favourites and viola! What a difference. It now compares favorably against my other two acoustics in sound, tone and sustain and suits my intended purpose perfectly. On a side note, some advice to anyone considering purchasing a customer return or factory second from Artist Guitars. As I mentioned, I purchased this guitar as a customer return. It was described as having scratches on the side of the neck at the 12th fret and an imperfect logo. Overall condition was described as average to poor. Photos were provided. In reality, the scratches are unnoticeable and the imperfect logo is minutely off centre. Couldn't find any other faults. I have had the same situation with a factory second Uke which supposedly had cosmetic imperfections, which I am yet to find. So anyone considering buying a customer return or factory second, feel confident that you are getting a very pessimistic description from Artist guitars at a very decent saving. Overall, I thoroughly recommend this guitar, especially at the price.

Thank you very much for the detailed and honest review. We are glad to hear that you are now enjoying the guitar.
A lovely instrument
I have had my Delta2EQ for almost a week, and I love it! The solid Sitka and Mahogony are already sounding good, and I only expect them to sound even better over time. The small and deep body makes for warm, round sound, and the neck is a joy to play. The action is ever so slightly high, and the intonation is very good. Well done Artist guitars.

The perfect finger style guitar
The Artist Delta2EQ gives you more guitar than the asking price could possibly hint. It’s easily the best acoustic guitar I’ve played (bearing in mind tone/frequency range, comfort/size, quality of build, jaw-dropping beauty and the fact that I am a finger style player who appreciates a 44.5mm nut). I can confidently say that the Delta2EQ is the the last acoustic guitar I will ever need to buy - and is probably the first guitar (out of my 10 electrics and acoustics) that I’d choose to save if I could only save one from a fire. The design, build quality, attention to detail and sheer magic are hard to quantify. As to the customer service from Artist… I can’t speak of it highly enough. Today wasn’t a good day - it was a day of magic.

An absolute winner.
This instrument is incredible value for money. Fit and finish are first rate, sounds fantastic and is as playable as it is pretty. Feels like a guitar twice it’s price tag. Well done Artist Guitars! I’ll certainly be back for more!
