Artist AT69 Thinline Sunburst Electric Guitar w/ P90 Pickups

You asked and we delivered! We're stoked to introduce the brand-new Artist AT69 Thinline to the range for 2024. Featuring a set of medium-output P90 pickups, this classy-looking semi-hollow delivers breathy blues tones that break up brilliantly when paired with a cranked tube amplifier. The C-shaped roasted maple neck, bone nut, locking tuners, and modern-style six-saddle bridge ensure the AT69 performs just as superbly as it sounds, staying perfectly in tune as you bend your heart out!

The semi-hollow construction of the AT69's mahogany body makes it a lighter alternative to a solid body. Single master and tone knobs make the AT69 elegantly simple to dial in - just strap it on, turn up your amp, and get out of the way... the AT69 will do the rest.

Easily on par with, and in some ways above my main

Hi all - I just wanted to write a quick review here to say that this guitar is simply incredible period, not just at this price point. I bought this guitar because I love the playing style of Japanese neo soul guitarist Toshiki Soejima who plays a Bruno TN-295 (hand-built Japanese guitar going for about $8,000 used, as at Sep 2024) which also has Telecaster Thinline body shape with neck and bridge P90 pickups. Not wanting to splash that hard on a guitar, I took a chance on this bad boy at $349 after seeing a single YouTube review from an non-sponsored purchaser (thank you Patrick Hernandez!). In the video he praised the fit an finish to no end and wow, he was on the money. The fret work and tolerances are immaculate, right up there another Japanese built guitar I have (cost $2000), and way better set up out of the box than my Player series MIM telecaster ($1800), which was delivered with a neck so far out of pocket the low E was actually off the fretboard. The neck at first felt kinda chunky to me, and the native string choice of 10s I also found a bit odd but after a setup I really took to it. The clean tones when paired with Fender Blackface and Tweed amp models are sweet and thick, and when paired with a BD-2 it was thick and clear overdrive tones. Back to the neck again - I'm bending whole bends on the 17th, 19th frets with no chokes, and no dead spots anywhere else. Just a bullet straight neck and lovely fresh, well crowned frets. There were a few odd things ofc, like one strap button wasn't dead straight, and I can tell the order of assembly based on some of the plastic shavings around the protective plastics, lol, but those are little things and overall I just can't get enough of this axe. Right up there with my other all-time favourites, for a mere $349. Thank you Artist.

1st of all, Artist Guitars provide excellent E-customer service and tracking of orders. Now for the guitar.... It came nicely packaged, strings / frets protected & set up to a great standard, straight out of the box. No blemishes on body or neck, frets nicely polished. Guitar looks great, all of the controls and tuners feel solid and work precisely. Neck profile, frets and satin finish are 10/10 Tones from the P90 pickups are clear & vocal with plenty of tweakability via the volume and tone pots. I would say the pickups really steal the show, along with the neck feel and frets. Having played a couple of hundred guitars and owned a good 50 at one point in the last 10 years, I can safely say this has AT69 has been the biggest most pleasant surprise. You don't have to do a thing to start playing, what is a stellar guitar. It beats the shit out of any sub-$2000 Fender for feel and gives you magic P90 tones that are truly inspiring with a good amp tone to back it up. My only gripe is the weight... the website quotes 3.3-3.5kg.... I would say this guitar is about 4kg. Great for sustain, but the only thing I could possibly complain about is the weight. I do like Strats and Teles to be in the low 3kg range. Just buy one, an absolute no brainer decision. Won't be my last Artist Guitar I'm sure

Nice Guitar

By: on 3 July 2024
Very nice feel and very solid. There were some stains at the F-hole. Also, the screw at the pickguard, near the input jack, is not tightened. I have to do it myself. QC missed it even though there is a sticker with "QC passed". With some minor flaws, guitar that works well and sounded very nice. Delivery was very fast as well.
