Retro-inspired design with modern comforts

Inspired by early offset guitar shapes, the Hartwood Drifter has a standout silhouette with player-first thinking behind it. The basswood body is contoured front and back to sit comfortably whether you're stood up or seated, while the deep cutaways give easy access right up to the 22nd fret. A high-gloss sunburst finish and black pickguard complete the classic look, giving the Drifter a timeless feel with all the benefits of modern playability.

Easy-playing neck with modern feel

The Hartwood Drifter is built with a modern C profile neck, designed for smooth, comfortable play across a wide range of styles. The shape is familiar and easy to navigate, offering support for rhythm and lead parts alike. A satin finish on the roasted maple keeps the feel fast and friction-free, making it ideal for long sessions. Combined with a 16” radius laurel fretboard and 22 medium frets, the Drifter provides a sleek playing surface that's easy to bend, glide and chord on.

Custom P90 pickups

A pair of P90 pickups gives the Drifter its bright, punchy tone with plenty of midrange character. These pickups sit between traditional single coils and humbuckers, making them ideal for players who want clarity with extra bite. They respond well to dynamics and gain, delivering smooth cleans and gritty drive tones alike. The three-way switch gives fast access to neck, bridge or combined sounds and the simple two-knob control layout keeps sound shaping intuitive.

Reliable, expressive hardware

The Drifter features a vintage-style six-screw tremolo system that allows for smooth, expressive pitch control. Whether adding subtle vibrato to chords or diving into more extreme bends, the tremolo responds consistently and feels natural under the hand. The screw-in arm provides a secure connection, while the setup offers the familiar feel of classic designs with the stability players expect today.

Two string trees on the headstock improve break angle and tuning consistency, especially during heavy tremolo use. Tuning is further supported by chrome die-cast tuners and a synthetic bone nut, helping the Drifter hold pitch and enhance sustain. These components work together to deliver a reliable, expressive playing experience on stage and in the studio.
