Artist CHERRY58 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar
This classic style guitar has existed in many forms since it was first released in 1958. Since then it has been coveted by some of the greatest Rock 'n Roll, Blues, and Jazz guitarists that the world has ever known. Legendary names like BB King, Freddie King, John McLaughlin, Larry Carlton, Jorma Kaukonen, Eric Clapton, and Elvin Bishop are among the multitude of players who have loved the diverse tones that this type of instrument offers. Now it's your turn!
The Artist Cherry58 offers a perfect entry-level guitar for those wishing to begin their journey into the world of blues and Jazz. With the typical set-neck, this guitar is truly a "blues machine". Like the body, the neck is constructed of maple on an eco-friendly Eco-Rosewood fretboard. This wood is a fine substitute for rosewood which is now considered a highly endangered species and as a result is rarely if ever used in general guitar building these days. The 22 frets show off the 'Dot' shaped plastic inlays and the comfortable "C" shape neck, tune-o-Matic bridge and stop-bar tailpiece means you have a guitar that will not only feel great under your fingers but one that will sustain forever.
The Cherry58 sports chrome-covered VLPA Humbuckers with Alnico V magnets, giving you warm throaty tones on the neck pickup or the biting clean sounds of the bridge pickup. When you set your toggle switch in between neck and bridge pickup you get that wonderful almost out of phase sound, making this an extremely versatile guitar that will be very responsive under your fingers. You will be able to put a stamp on all those great blues solos and wail like the greats or you could darken the tone to suit the "cool" of any dingy little jazz club.
The Cherry58 awaits. Are you ready to take it on?
Here are the reasons why this guitar is great:
It has a Low String Action (all our guitars are set-up at the factory for the optimum beginner playing level). String action is the measurement from the top of the 12th fret to the bottom of the string. This is very important because a guitar with a high action is hard to play, a guitar with too low an action will buzz and sound bad. Artist Guitars are set up at the factory for the optimum level for a beginner.
Die-cast Machine Heads - This means your guitar will tune quicker, be more stable, and stay in tune longer.
We include a range of Support Materials including how to tune, how to read tab, basic chord shapes, and much more.
Our price is always Lower Than a Retail Store (often by 30-40%) we keep our prices low by only selling our own range of guitars direct from the factory. Our business is built on offering a great value guitar at a great price.

Write a reviewCherry 58 TRD semi hollow guitar
Great guitar, delivery was very quick this time, one day as opposed to 13 days for my previous guitar purchase, very happy with the guitar, I don’t think it’s as good as the Telecaster style one that I bought last time, that one is something special but it’s a nice fun guitar, only thing I am not enamoured of is the dinky little volume and tone dials, they just feel too small and a bit toyish, if that’s a word. But overall it’s very good for the price.

Thank you so much for your feedback and review of the guitar. We truly appreciate it.
Well done, Artist
Sydney to Adelaide in 2 days and beautifully packaged. My wife and daughter gasped when I opened the guitar case, the cherry is gorgeous. Quick tune up and away I went, lovely sounding pickups, the guitar is nicely balanced and the neck is comfortable in the hand. A first time buyer with Artist and I'm suitably impressed. Thank you for the awesome customer service, great prices, and care for the quality in your products...this is a rare thing nowadays. Well done, Artist.

Great Guitar
Artist advertised that stocks were due 10 May. Ordered mine on 6 May, and mine arrived on 12 May (today). Outstanding service. I read somewhere that the pictures don't do the guitar justice and that was 100% correct. It is a beautiful looking guitar and although I haven't gone over it with a magnifying glass, out of the box, I cant flaw it. But the best part is the playability and the sound. The neck is a bit wider than I'm used to but I have sausage fingers so I'm finding it different but not uncomfortable. I've only played it clean through my Fender Reverb so far but I am so impressed. Overall a great package. I just wish I'd bought a case with it. Maybe next month. Thank you Artist.

The perfect Blues Guitar
When I started my electric guitar journey I was sure that I had to buy a semi hollow. Coming from acoustic this was a must for me. And the video from Brett Kingsman just sold me on the CHERRY58. This guitar absolutely rocks. Well, it actually really rock'n rolls and blues's and jazz's. First I was a little bit in doubt if I wouldn't miss out as I chose the model without coil splitting, roller bridge and locking tuners. But as I couldn't get all that with the cherry colour I just decided to go that way. And I'm glad I did. This guitar kills it when it comes to Blues - especially the heavier stuff from back in the days. I had to work a bit on the action and set up on this one. I wasn't used to this as all other Artist guitars came perfectly set up so far. But it was nothing complicated and all easily done. I switched to a heavier string gauge as well as I thought this more suiting for a guitar that I want to play Blues with. And it was a good decision. The humbuckers make a great sound and I'm actually not missing the coil splitting on this one. This is a fantastic guitar for a very good price. Well done again, Artist!

Value for money
Purchase as a factory second, I was nervous about the quality that I would recieve. On arrival I struggled to find and marks or blemishes. Was ready to play straight out of the box. Great sound and feel.
