What brand are your guitars?

Why can't I find Artist guitars in retail shops?

You can't buy an Artist Guitar in store because we choose not to sell to other retailers. We have a totally different business model and have chosen to market and sell our products online. This means our costs are down, and we can pass those savings on, directly to you. All our musical equipment is designed for players of all levels, from beginners to seasoned musicians. We make sure that our products are built to a high quality.
