Artist PSM200 Handbuilt Parlour Acoustic/Electric Sunburst 2025
Artist PSM200, made in China 2025, sunburst. Artist Gutiars is a major new guitar retailer based in Western Sydney. They've been getting their own brand of guitars made by specialist factories in China for many years now, and the general response has been very positive. This model represents a tilt towards a more premium offering, and honestly it's crazy-good for the cashola. The PSM200 model guitars are sold out new and were hand made by a team of five in China. You get deluxe all solid tonewoods: sitka spruce, African mahogany, and ebony, all bound in flame maple. The pickup is classy too. The body is similar in shape to a Martin 0 parlour, with a classy slotted headstock and a handy 14th fret join. The tone is great: heaps of natural sustain and volume, clear as day up high, earthy and open through the mids and fast and full down low. We've had USA-made guitars through that don't sound this good. We've only got one, friends.
