Vintage versatility
The Hartwood Charger is your gateway to iconic tones. Its chrome-covered humbuckers deliver creamy warmth and powerful character, embodying the vintage sound guitarists crave. The HH configuration is paired with a three-way switch, allowing you to individually audition each pickup or combine them for a fuller sound.
For added versatility, the tone control features a push-pull coil tap, giving you access to brighter single-coil style sounds when required. From classic rock riffs to blues leads and intricate indie lines, the Charger adapts effortlessly to your style.
Liquid smooth feel
The Charger is built for players who demand comfort and playability. The satin-finished roasted maple neck provides a smooth, fast-playing feel that avoids the stickiness often associated with gloss finishes. Its ergonomic C-shaped profile sits naturally in the hand, allowing you to move confidently across the fretboard.
Medium-jumbo frets make chord transitions effortless while providing precise control for expressive lead playing. Whether you're exploring intricate melodies or powering through rhythm parts, the Charger feels responsive and inspiring in every position.
Enhanced hardware
The Charger is equipped with premium hardware designed for reliability and performance. A Tune-O-Matic bridge paired with a stoptail ensures solid intonation and sustain, while locking tuners keep strings firmly in place and make string changes quick and straightforward.
At the nut, GraphTech NuBone enhances tuning stability and tonal consistency, helping the guitar stay reliable throughout long rehearsals and demanding performances.
Make a statement
A guitar this distinctive deserves to turn heads. The Jet Black finish is complemented by pearloid block inlays, bold binding, and chrome hardware, giving the Charger a stylish vintage-inspired look with modern flair. The offset body shape adds a confident stage presence while the Hartwood headstock logo ties the design together.
Hard case included
This bundle includes the Hartwood Charger Series Electric Guitar Hard Case, designed specifically to accommodate Hartwood Charger guitars and similar offset models. The rugged rectangular construction provides dependable protection during storage and transport.
Finished in durable green tolex with white piping and an embroidered Hartwood logo, the case delivers classic styling alongside practical durability. Inside, plush black lining helps protect the guitar from scratches while 5mm padding across the base provides additional cushioning.
An integrated accessories compartment beneath the neck support allows you to store essentials such as strings, tuners, capos, and plectrums, while lockable catches and included keys offer added peace of mind when travelling.
