Artist LP60 Cherry Sunburst Electric Guitar with Accessories
This Electric Guitar is used for various styles of music, most notably all the styles of Rock, Blues and Metal. All our Artist LP guitars have a Set Neck for superior sustain and tone, unlike a lot of similar priced guitars on the market that usually have a bolt-on neck.
Note: the 'Set Neck' design on any guitar type always gives superior SUSTAIN and TONE over a 'Bolt-on Neck' design... (This is why Metal heads the world over play only set neck guitars).
This is a full size guitar perfect for Adults, recommended for Children over the age of 12 (or younger if your child is strong and taller than 1.2m)
It includes all accessories you need to get started:
- LP60 Electric Guitar
- Electronic Guitar Tuner
- Strap
- Bag
- Lead
- Picks
Some of its Great Features:
It has a mahogany neck with an eco-rosewood fret board, a 2 way truss rod (which means you can adjust the neck up or down)
The body is made of mahogany body, for that warm sound you'll love, and it has a maple tiger stripe veneer for good looks. To top it off we've added the classic-look cream pick guard.
Two Wilkinson humbuckers for a great classic rock and metal tones!
It has a Tune-O-Matic style fixed bridge (common in most LP guitars) & die-cast machine heads that will help you stay in tune longer and make your tuning easier.
A free guitar lesson (check out our website for times and locations - sorry not all locations are currently covered - contact us if your area is not covered).
We include a range of support materials from how to tune, how to read tab, basic chord shapes and more.
You also get the highly developed G4 Guitar Method.

How do Artist do it for the money?
By: Anne-Marie Kennedy on 4 October 2018As the owner of a genuine Gibson Les Paul I needed a back up which I could put better pickups and tuners on. I am amazed at the quality of finish and playability of this guitar which I paid <10% of what I paid for my Gibson. It is definitely not at Gibson level. That would be ridiculous. I have owned many expensive Fenders, Gibsons, Duesenberg, Taylors, Matons and other guitars over the years and play professionally and really don't feel like I am slumming it at all as far as playability look and feel of the guitar. The action was a little high out of the box but the luthier where I have taken the guitar to have tweaked made very favourable comments about the neck and frets and also re the finish. Was also amazed at the price. The standard pickups would be fine for a beginner / intermediate bedroom player. I have replaced with Filtertrons for a bit of a twist in tone. They cost as much as the guitar!! All up though for less than $500 I have a guitar that sounds a plays very well. Thanks Artist Guitars.

Exceeded Expectations
By: Jacqueline on 18 January 2018I decided to head into the warehouse/ showroom to have a look at the Artist range of guitars to get a feel for their products before buying. The sales staff were excellent! He went above and beyond my expectations, not only was he extremely knowledgable about their products and guitars in general but he listened and enquired about my playing style, type of music I was playing and sound to recommend the best guitar for me. I walked out with an LP60 and I could not be happier with my purchase. The sound, feel and finish of the guitar is great. It even impressed a fellow musician, who owns a Gibson Les Paul! These guitars are definitely value for money and I have been recommending them to everyone I know. Definitely recommend giving these guitars a go, you will be pleasantly suprised!

Great LP Style guitar!
By: Nathan on 1 June 2017This is a great guitar! The pickups are fantastic! Surprisingly hot and they drive really well! The sound out of this guitar is right up there with far more expensive equivalents! The body, while a little thinner than a regular LP, felt strong and well built. With guitars at this price I expect the electrics to be loose and other features to be weak but this was definitely not the case. Smooth and strong feeling knobs, easily adjustable bridge, good switch and quality tuners. Rather than a slim neck this is a thicker "50s" style neck which is my preference, especially on an LP type guitar. The guitar also looks awesome! This is definitely the best LP style guitar I've played in this price range!
