About this Artist STHL Black Left Handed Electric Guitar + Humbucker
This Left Handed Electric Guitar is perfect for fast playing rock, metal, punk, hardcore, blues, fusion/ funk and contemporary. This guitar is designed to do it all.
If you're someone who wants to play a bit of metal like Pantera, Van Halen or Metallica, but then wants to play rock like Nickelback or Cold Play, and then wants also to do a bit of Jimi Hendrix... basically, you looking for a guitar that can do a bit of everything, then this electric guitar is the right choice for you.
This guitar gives you a clean sound as well as much distortion as you can handle from your amp or effect pedals without any extra unwanted noise and squeals.
The STH electric guitar is a great way to be introduced into the world of rock, funk and blues as it is a beginners copy of a classic guitar that has done countless albums, tours and made many a guitar icon.
The contoured body provides great comfort in playing which has made this type of guitar a favourite with many players since the 1950s
It has tremolo bridge that is not floating, or lock tuning like a Floyd Rose, but rather it is designed for a small amount of vibrato so locking nuts are not necessary. Great Quality and Wilkinson Pickups make this guitar a step above the rest. This is a real musical instrument, not a toy, designed by our local luthier's and players. We also sell these as a package with an amplifier if you need.
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:
- STH Electric Guitar, Left Handed
- Electronic Guitar Tuner
- Strap
- Bag
- Lead
- Picks
Some of its great features
It has an eco-rosewood fingerboard and maple neck, a 2 way truss rod (which means you can adjust the neck up or down)
Wilkinson pickups mean you will get a much better sound than a "standard" pickup. The STH comes with a Humbucker and 2 single coil pickups. This gives you more versatility in the styles you can play. Humbucker pickups allow you to produce better distorted tones.
It has a classic strat style bridge (so you can do classic style tremolo and string bends) & 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.

Review for an STHL purchased at discount, advertis
By: John ZD351 on 11 February 2021All I wanted was a LH S Type body to put the neck and various bits from a RH guitar I have. Couldn't find a reasonably priced body. I was considering whether to buy one of those $150 kits or the $199 Artist STHL purely to harvest the body for my project. Then I see Artist listing a half priced STHL noted as "Customer returned due to wiring issue - guitar requires repair before use with an amp" - - - - - - - - - - Perfect. What do I care about the wiring? I've found my body donor. I place my order on the Friday before the Australia Day holiday and received it in Melbourne on the following Thursday, exactly as predicted. it came with the gig bag and all accessories listed in the ad. - - - - - - - - - - After I checked out the guitar for about 15 minutes, I was not too happy. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the guitar. I found no wiring issue. I got sound on all 5 switch positions. Volume and Tone controls worked as they should. Neck profile was a very comfortable slightly more filled out modern C shape. Fret ends were neat and well dressed. Action and intonation set well. Guitar was a good weight, not too heavy or overly light. Days later, I pick it and it's keeping its tune. - - - - - - - - - - Yep, not happy. I can't strip this guitar out. It's too good to be cannibalised. My righty neck is bodyless again and I've got myself ANOTHER black LH S Type. Thanks a lot Artist! Call me when you have one with a snapped neck. I'm too much of a softy, and can't take a perfectly good guitar out to the slaughterhouse. I should have known after my other Artist Guitars purchases, that this would end up too good for what I wanted. If I was buying this at full price with the intention of keeping and using it I would have been very happy with my purchase.

An absolute pleasure to deal with
By: TERRY on 9 February 2021This is my second purchase from Artist and they are an absolute pleasure to deal with, nothing is asking to much from this company May not be the " brand " name of other guitars but they certinally are not the price either and Artist guitars play exceptionally well regardless of your experience. You wont regret the experience of buying an Artist guitar.

Best Value For Money
By: Darren S on 9 April 2020Artist STHL Black Left Handed Electric Guitar + Humbucker is the best value for money out there. I was amazed at the quality of this guitar for the price. The neck is really comfortable to play and the Wilkinson pickups have a great sound, especially when playing the neck and middle pickups together, they have a beautiful chimey sound you would expect to get from a more expensive guitar. Great work Artist Guitars, thank you.

Artist STHL Black Left Handed Electric Guitar + Hu
By: Allan Carpenter on 14 February 2019I received my brand new Artist STHL guitar much sooner than expected. The guitar is beautifully finished and can’t be faulted. One wonders why the “NAME” products should be so much more expensive. Thank you Artist Guitars ❤️

Left handed electric guitar
By: Luke on 9 February 2019I brought the STHL left handed guitar overall I’m impressed the the neck is smooth postage was really quick tuners and pickups are great the only complaint I have is there is so much fret buzz due to so many of the frets being uneven it’s also causing the strings to go out of tune every time I play a chord so it’s going to take a lot of work and money to level and crown the frets everything else is great I’m giving 3 stars purely for the money I’m going to have to spend to get the frets done otherwise it would have been 5

Low On Price, Not On Quality.
By: Troy Gardiner on 20 October 2018Was looking for a budget priced guitar to modify, and these are perfect for that job. Being left handed leaves me with a small choice in guitars, but even before any changes were made, this played like a dream, and made with just as much care as a right handed guitar, no hanging frets, neck fits perfectly in the pocket, springs and trem claw are nice and tight and easily adjustable with some patience. I may have changed the pickup configuration to suit my needs, but at the given price, I could just as easily buy another to have the HSS. Only issue, the output jack was not connecting to the lead 100%, but that was a quick fix and it's fine now.

Low Price High Quality
By: Les on 9 February 2018I bought this as a guitar to learn on before I bought a big name brand, I find I don't need to spend a thousand plus on a guitar, this is putting out a really good sound, I have changed 1 thing on it, I got some locking machine heads just to be sure though it didn't need them, would I recommend this to someone, yep, beginner or playing for you-tube, a small pub this mixed with the NUX Frontline 30 does the job, no need to break the bank to get a good quality sound.

Best Customer Service + Value For Money + Great Ex
By: Karan on 7 February 2016I received the best service from Artist Guitars. I ordered the guitar at night and it came the very next day. Also, I am a beginner wanted to buy a cheap guitar for a beginner and did not wanted to spend much. They are the only music store that offers great guitars at these rates. especially for a left handed person. On top I used Afterpay, it is so convenient. Also I did not buy the amp + guitar which I should have, but I bought it later and they gave me a discount. Their staff very friendly. Also, the guitar is good for the price, I love the HSS combo gives a range of sound. I am a customer for life. I would recommend anyone to buy from Artist Guitars.
