The name Grungemaster does not do this Guitar Just

By: Alexander on 27 June 2022

I have been trying my new GM two tone burst. I bought it in the hope that I could use it as a cheap gigging guitar. Light, easy to play and sounds good. So that I don't have to take my expensive American Fender to gigs. Can I say that it has delivered on that in spades. I now have the dilemma that I have this Fender sitting here which is worth on the used market, ten times the price that I paid for the "Grungemaster" (sorry but I cringe when I have to say Grungemaster). In terms of playability, build quality and sound, there is not a huge difference in it in comparison to the Fender for the type of music that I play, which is mainly clean to mildly overdriven. The GM is a great piece of kit as a gigging guitar and I would recommend it to anyone, but I do have a couple of things that I would change if I had the means. 1. For crying out loud, find a better name for it. 2. A higher quality set of Tuners would put the icing on the cake. This is my second Artist guitar (I have the burst 10th anniversary 335 which is even more spectacular) and I couldn't be happier.

Grungemaster is a bargain.

By: Leonard on 22 January 2022

Got this Grungemaster as a customer return for $207 delivered to WA. It was unmarked, in new condition and in original packaging on arrival. Very high quality finish. Extremely nice neck with a near perfect fret job. I just did not expect this at this price point. Upon arrival I restrung and setup the Grungemaster. I was blown away at how great this guitar sounds and how easy it is to play. Most new guitars under $1500 usually need fret level and crown after purchase so as to get a nice lowish action, without any string buzz but not this one. Some of the frets were a little scratchy but not bad enough to warrant a polish. They have smoothed out after a small amount of play time. The P90 pickups are amazing in this guitar. The electrics have the small pots, a good quality tone cap (Polyester Greencap) and high quality rectangular three way switch like the ones the Japanese guitars have been using for years. This is the first Artist Guitar I have purchased. I bought this guitar for the P90 experience. I can see myself playing this guitar more than some of my other guitars that cost 9 or 10 times the price. This guitar weighs in at 3.75kg so certainly not a heavy weight. Even at the full price this thing is a steal. If you are considering the purchase of a Grungemaster then just do it. Its intrinsic value is definitely more than the asking price in my opinion. Just be sure to restring it as the factory strings are junk, but hey, you expect that at the price point anyway. Well done Artist Guitars and thank you for a great product along with the great customer service.

Grungemaster!

By: Chris on 21 January 2022

This is the 4th artist guitar I have purchased and the 2nd grungemaster. These guitars are pure quality and ideal for anyone at any level of skill. I reach for an artist before any of the big brand guitars. Keep up the excellent work

Surprisingly awesome guitar!

By: Matt on 4 January 2022

Been looking at this for a few months and in the meantime have been trying out many other instruments around the $1200 mark and just not feeling it! Finally got the Grunge Master as a holiday project with the view to use it as a modding platform. I was expecting to replace pickups, all the electronics, the tuners and the bridge. Also expected to have to do a proper shielding job on the cavities and have to seriously level the frets and re-crown. The only thing I have had to do was file down 1 fret and cut the nut slots properly. (Lowering bridge doesn't count as modding!) I've been playing it constantly since Christmas day and love it. The pickups are not cheap sounding and have a lovely range of tones from jazzy to dirty. They even provide hum cancelling in the middle position which wasn't mentioned in any review or description. Even my Casino didn't do this and the hum drove me nuts. Half an hours work (fun work) has left me with the most playable guitar I own. Finally, the video reviews on your website are accurate and provide a realistic reflection of how the guitar actually sounds. Thanks!

Amazing customer service.

My Grungemaster arrived super quick, but the box was all beaten up and there was a small ding on the headstock. The Sales Rep gave me a 10% discount and sent the photos to the courier. This all happened at around 9pm too. The Grungemaster is so much fun to play and sounds so alive. And since it's so cheap, I don't mind my 4 year old having a strum and a hit. So glad I took a punt on it.

We're sorry to hear about the slight damage on the headstock during transit but we're happy to know that the team was able to sort this out for you asap. Cheers

This baby really lives up to its name. Great playability straight out of the box with superb build quality and just oozes class. The P90 style pickups on this beauty make it sound like a strat on steroids. Fantastic tone and sustain, excellent note definition/ clarity, comfortable weight and feel. The neck is great and whether its plugged into my Plexi, DSL100, JCM800. Vox Mini Superbeetle or Peavey Classic 30 this guitar sounds amazing. I highly recommend Artist /guitars to anyone I know. I own 12 of their guitars.

Absolutely one of the best put-together instruments I've played, for a very affordable price. Wide range of tones from the twin p90s, and it would be very easy for a beginner to pick up and play, with no setup needed out of the box besides tuning. It also arrived ahead of the estimated date I was given. This is my 4th guitar from Artist and I always recommend them if someone mentions an interest in picking up the instrument.
