The catalog is built around a rotating set of named models rather than numbered series, including the La Bruja, La Flaca, El Brujo, Cardinal, Bruiser, Cherry Bomb, Classic Creep, Gordo, J. Doe, Jimmy, Levitation, Mendiola, Reverberation, The Urge, Tom Cat, and Woodsoul, along with bass versions such as the La Flaca Bass and Classic Creep Bass. Designs tend to lean on retro and garage-rock aesthetics, with unconventional body shapes, vintage-style pickups, and finishes that draw from 1960s European and Japanese guitar design.

PureSalem has built its reputation largely through word of mouth in indie, psych, and garage rock circles. The company's artist roster has included players from bands such as Slowdive, The Flaming Lips, The Dandy Warhols, Deerhoof, Black Mountain, Dead Meadow, Buffalo Tom, Sasami, and Froth.

PureSalem has 16 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 32 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Folk, World, & Country, and Pop. Notable users include Erik Paulson, Billy Gibbons, and Joey Walker.
