Artist Brownburst58 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar w/ Humbucker Pickups

This classic style guitar has existed in many forms since it was first released in 1958. Since then it has been coveted by some of the greatest Rock 'n Roll, Blues, and Jazz guitarists that the world has ever known. Legendary names like BB King, Freddie King, John McLaughlin, Larry Carlton, Jorma Kaukonen, Eric Clapton, and Elvin Bishop are among the multitude of players who have loved the diverse tones that this type of instrument offers. Now it's your turn!

The Artist BROWNBURST58  offers a perfect entry-level guitar for those wishing to begin their journey into the world of blues and Jazz. With the typical set-neck, this guitar is truly a "blues machine". Like the body, the neck is constructed of maple on an Eco-Rosewood fretboard. This wood is a fine substitute for rosewood which is now considered a highly endangered species and as a result is rarely if ever used in general guitar building these days. The 22 frets show off the 'Dot' shaped plastic inlays and the comfortable "C" shape neck, tune-o-Matic bridge and stop-bar tailpiece means you have a guitar that will not only feel great under your fingers but one that will sustain forever.

The BROWNBURST58 sports chrome-covered VLPA Humbuckers with Alnico V magnets, giving you warm throaty tones on the neck pickup or the biting clean sounds of the bridge pickup. When you set your toggle switch in between neck and bridge pickup you get that wonderful almost out of phase sound, making this an extremely versatile guitar that will be very responsive under your fingers. You will be able to put a stamp on all those great blues solos and wail like the greats or you could darken the tone to suit the "cool" of any dingy little jazz club.

I have wanted a 335 style guitar for some time to add to my collection of guitars. When I saw the price and reviews and watched the youtube videos I decided to take the plunge given the low price. What did I have to lose. Nothing, as it turned out. The guitars appearance and finish was beautiful. It needed a setup to suit my playing preferences and I love the sound and the versatility of this guitar. The Brownburst58 has turned out to be a great addition to my collection that has been growing for over 40 years. This guitar is a no risk purchase that is now regularly used and suits a wide variety of genres. The pickups are not the overwound harsh things you get in some cheap guitars and are around the 8k mark and have a much more pleasant tone allowing then to match well with mild overdrive as well as providing a sparkling clean tone that doesn’t attack your ears like an ice pick.

Brownburst 58

My 58 arrived in perfect condition. This guitar is way beyond my expectations, it is faultless. Fret ends are perfect, nut is cut correctly, action is low with zero fret buzz, no need for any truss road adjustments, neck is correctly set. Was prepared to do a setup but basically was not needed. that's a first for me. At this price point the 58 is seriously good. Great guitar and highly recommended, thanks Guys.

I just received the Brownburst 58 Semi Hollow Guitar (the last one in stock) just like the 3 previous Artist Guitars I purchased this one is faultless really classy looking instrument with the brown hard case the neck feels good plays great very similar to my Epiphone Sheraton Pro 2 the build is fantastic no marks anywhere I would recommend this guitar or the Cherry Model if you are in the market for a 335 style guitar about half the price of a Epiphone 335 but I still love my Epiphone Sheraton I won't be sending the Brownburst back. Thanks Artist for another great guitar..
