Artist AS1 Electric Guitar w/ HSS Pickups, Accessories & Amp

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 Arctic Monkeys or Cold Play, and then wants also to do a bit of Jimi Hendrix... basically, you're 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 AS1 electric guitar is a great way to be introduced into the world of rock, funk and blues as it is a beginner's 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.

It has a 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 luthiers 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:

  • AS1 Electric Guitar
  • Electronic Guitar Tuner
  • Strap
  • Bag
  • Lead
  • Picks

Some of this guitar's 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 (ceramic) mean you will get a much better sound than a "standard" pickup. The AS1 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 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.

We include a range of support materials from how to tune, how to read tab, basic chord shapes and more.

Artist GA10X 10 Watt Guitar Practice Amplifier with MP3 input

This is a great sounding 10 Watt guitar amp, perfect for practising at home or jamming with friends!

Features include selectable channels, clean and distortion with a 3-band EQ. The Clean channel provides a crystal clear sound for country and jazz tones, whilst the distortion channel provides everything from a light smooth break up for blues through to crushing Heavy Metal and Hardcore tones for those palm muted chunky rhythms and searing solos! This is the perfect amp for those just starting out on electric guitar and is a great platform to experiment with achieving different guitar tones, whether that be through pedals or simply your guitar controls, you can't go wrong with the GA10X.

It also has a headphone socket so you can play along without waking the neighbours, and MP3 input.

The Tech Features

Model: GA10X

Power: 10W RMS

Speaker Size: 6 inch

GA10X Front Panel Functions:

Input - This is the 1/4 inch guitar jack input.

Volume - Controls the volume level of both Clean and Overdrive channels.

Drive Select - This is a Channel Switch that selects between Clean Channel, or Overdrive Channel.

Gain - Controls the gain level for the OverDrive channel only. As the amount of gain increases so will the Overdrive/distortion level in your sound. Use moderate levels for Blues and light rock, and maximum gain for Hard Rock and Heavy Metal styles.

Treble - Controls the high frequency of the guitar tone, making your guitar sound brighter when increased.

Middle - Dictates the middle frequency of the amplifier. Turning this up will make your guitar sound fatter, ideal for Blues and Punk. Conversely reducing the amount of middle in your tone will result in a sharper and thinner guitar sound for the classic scooped Heavy Metal tone.

Bass - Controls the amount of low frequency or bottom end in your tone. The more you increase, the more punch you will add. If your sound sounds too muddy then decrease this control to Tighten your sound.

Mini Jack AUX input - 3.5mm input to plug in your favourite MP3 player

Mini Jack Headphone Jack - 3.5 mm input to plug your headphones in for silent practice

Power Switch - On / Off Switch for mains power to the amplifier.

Great Beginner Set

Bought this pack for clients at work and it's perfect. Exactly what was needed, no complaints. Delivery was a bit slow but that was due to the courier, not Artists guitars.

A great entry level product for beginners or even skilled players. The product seems to be well made and hasn't had any issues as of yet. My 15 year old brother picked this guitar for his first electric due to the great reviews.

Good Value

By: on 12 March 2023
It took a really long time to arrive, I chalk that up to being rural mostly but it still took longer than most shipping I get. Pretty good quality and good bang for your buck but the attention to detail is a bit lacking in some spots, the pick guard screws are a bit wonky and mine was actually missing one, everything else seems pretty good though

One very happy 10 year old!!!

By: on 1 December 2022
My grandson was turning 10 & has been learning guitar for around 12 months using an old acoustic I had learnt on over 55 years ago. I thought it was time for an upgrade. I thought his parents were going to purchase one through his teacher b u t they forgot. Just 3 days before his birthday I found your website and Ordered a guitar and accessories. I was surprised when it arrived then next morning. My grandson was delighted and doesn't put it down!! Now I need headphones and a stand for Christmas, thank you so much.
