Artistry Caprice

An updated version of the original Martin Taylor Artistry.


Overall body dimensions remain the same, 382mm lower bout (15”) x 500mm (19.7”) long, as does the 632mm scale length and 44mm nut width.
With an increased body depth of 6mm to 76mm overall, an updated headstock and cutaway design, plus a new pickguard, bridge and tailpiece, the result is a contemporary classic, equally suited to playing fingerstyle or with a pick.
