The Artist EB2 Black Full Sized Electric Guitar
The Artist EB2 might be our entry-level budget guitar but it definitely offers a little more than the price would suggest. It is a full-size electric guitar that is based on our popular STH series. If there is a word that would describe the EB2 it would be simplicity.
Not only is it a guitar that maintains simplicity in design and build quality but also in its electronics. Sporting a single humbucker in the bridge position and controlled by a single volume knob the EB2 is not only a cool little lead machine but it can also cover more mellow tones when required. Add to this a very comfortable modern ""C"" shape neck and you have a great entry level guitar at a budget price.
Something else that is worth mentioning is the fact that the body is routed for a HSS Strat 3-way pickup system which may be useful moving forward if you are looking to hotrod your EB2 post-purchase.
There are no accessories included with this guitar.

Write a reviewEB2 Artist Guitar
For context I'm 66 and trying to learn guitar. I was drawn to this EB2 budget model for the simplicity of one pickup and volume knob so I could concentrate on practice rather than knob twiddling. The guitar arrived promptly and I'm really happy with the look, finish and feel and importantly how it sounds. To me it's an ideal guitar for beginners and a great price. I looked at Artist Guitars after seeing positive reviews of some of their other models on youtube by Shane on the "intheblues" channel.

Artist EB2 single pickup electric guitar
This is a fantastic guitar, i usually play short-scale guitars but I love the neck, perfect for my hand. The pickup is powerful and works well with my budget effects. The big suprise is tune it down to C with the fitted strings and instant baritone guitar! Amazing guitar for the price and no setting up at all, just play.

Thank you for your review of the guitar. We are stoked to hear that you are enjoying it.
Why didn’t I buy this sooner?
Unashamedly I say this:I love Artist guitars because you do get value instruments for an affordable price and this eb2 single pickup guitar is no exception.Got it from the bargain bin after months of ummming and ahhhing.Out of the box it’s playable.The hum bucker pickup puts out amazing hi-gain tone and I couldn’t believe this was a budget guitar well ahead of my squier bullet strat.The Neck just feels right no sharp edges and no fret sprout that I could notice.The tremolo arm works well but I only use to accent notes not to dive bomb so it’s perfect for that.I honestly wouldn’t change anything on this guitar it’s great as is.If you are considering getting this then yes yes yes it’s very worthwhile for modding or stock.Just get it!Of course thanks once again to the brilliant team at Artist guitars for this quality product.

Great guitar
Was looking for a cheap single pickup guitar. Don't know how I missed this browsing the Artist website but as soon as I saw it I bought it. And I am glad I did. Arrived the next day. Pretty much playable out of the box. Strings have worn in and I've been playing it nonstop. I suppose I could do a setup but honestly not that far off how I like it. Neck is great, intonation is great. Once the strings worn in holds tune well. Finish is good. I really can't fault it. May put a bullbucker and a push/pull pot to coil split one day but happy as is for now. The whole point I got it was for simplicity! I really hope Artist bring out a range of single pickup p90 style guitars with wrap around bridges. Double cutaways and single cutaway shapes. I'd buy them in a second.

Great Mod Platform
Having been an artist guitars customer for a veeeeery long time I decided to finally try one of these little beauties as a Mod Platform. Here we go: For what I paid, I knew I was going to strip it all down anyhow... BUT... I will say.... regardless of what you put in to this...the guitar itself is super comfortable to play. The neck is a touch girthier (yes, girthier) than the ST62 and it is a treat. The paintjob under the pickguard wasnt 100% (some sawdust got into the clearcoat from the factory) but it doesnt bother me....and it looks like 2 of the grub screws on the trem saddles were threaded (either during build or by the person who had it before me (I picked it up in the bargain bin)) - Replaced the saddles, swapped out all the electronics, dressed the frets and gave it a full overhaul.... it plays like a dream now. As for the original bucker and electronics? theyre going straight into another build ill be knocking together for a student. $129. Cant go wrong either way...keep it stock or mod it. 5 stars from me :)
