USED Artex Guitar Works / Handcrafted ST Type [11]

A high-end model from the Japanese handmade brand “Artex,” combining carefully selected wood with a unique design.
This instrument features a striking natural finish that showcases its exquisite wood grain.

The body features a flamed maple top and a mahogany back, delivering both rich mid-to-low frequencies and a crisp, well-defined attack. Furthermore, the combination with a bird’s-eye maple neck lends a sense of luxury not only to the sound but also to the instrument’s appearance.
Equipped with three original passive pickups, it delivers a natural sound with excellent responsiveness. In addition to master volume and tone controls, it features active controls powered by an original circuit, allowing for a wide range of sound shaping.

Attention to detail is evident in elements such as the wooden pickguard and gold hardware, and the finish allows you to fully appreciate the high precision and meticulous craftsmanship unique to Japanese handmade instruments. It is rarely seen on the market today, and its rarity is one of its key attractions.
