Artist Gnosis6FR Blue Cloud Electric Guitar w/ Floyd Rose

The first Artist guitar to feature a Floyd Rose tremolo system! The GNOSIS6FR is a variant of our popular GNOSIS6 Model.

The GNOSIS6FR is an even more adaptable, multifaceted and functional modern instrument than the GNOSIS6. It has modern appointments to suit everyone from beginners to the most dextrous shredders.
This style of electric guitar is loved by Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Guitarists and has become a classic icon of that genre. 

Our Artist GNOSIS6FR (pronounced 'know-sis-6') is a versatile 6-String with an all Maple Neck, Poplar Body with Quilted Maple Veneer, Eco-Rosewood Fretboard, 24 frets with 'DOT'-shaped plastic inlays, and a set neck. It has a carved neck heel for easy high-neck access and is complete with a licensed Floyd Rose Tremolo. It is designed to achieve ultimate sustain and it delivers! This guitar plays fast with a speedy neck, and maintains tight low-end frequencies so it's great for thick warm tones, and heavy drop-tuned chugging alike.
It also has a special combination of two Medium-High output Humbuckers. This means that you can switch from fluid Neck Pickup solo runs and warm clean sounds to the more crunchy rhythms and shred guitar solos on the impressive Bridge Pickup.

I purchased one of the blue beauties 3 months ago and I couldnt recommend Artist any more highly I did so much research to find the best affordable electric guitar.

Beautiful

By: on 29 October 2024
The beauty of this guitar is apparent while still unboxing it and only gets better once it is out on full display. The finish is truly amazing and has depth to it that I was not expecting. It just pulls your eyes to it even when sitting in the corner of the room. The action on my guitar was set to a nice height and the intonation seems good. Although I haven't measured it, I played various notes together which sounded fine. The neck feels really good. Frets are nicely trimmed and I love the medium-jumbo size. I'm finding I can use a lighter touch on the strings which has been interesting. While the neck profile definitely feels like a Les Paul, it is at least a thin LP neck and I'd say a nice compromise if you aren't used to them. The pickups have a lot of brightness to offer yet it doesn't get in your face. I can open up the tone control while on the neck pickup and get nice bright tones. Back it off a touch and head into blues, a little more and we are into jazz. If we do the same on the bridge pickup we do find a little too much brightness, but we expect that and a little adjustment of the tone knob brings it completely under control. Using both pickups also gives us great tones. Even with an overly bright bridge, mix it with the neck pickup and it blends together beautifully. These pickups are matched well and provide a good sound across the major styles. Though it does go too dark, I'm not going to hold that against it. Overall, I think this is a really good guitar. It sounds good. It feels good. It looks good.

Great guitar

By: on 22 March 2024
Bought it primarily for a heavy rock sound with the double humbuckers and the Floyd Rose Special. After a quick string change/tune/set up, it’s sounding great! Using it for recording, so shouldn’t need to deal with the rough & tumble gig-life. Well-made, super affordable and great-sounding!

Outstanding. Intonated out of the box, strecthed the strings and away we go. Havent had to fiddle with the Floyd yet, will save that for next string gauge change. Artist are top of the pack when it comes to affordable instruments. This particular guitar stand up well against my shecter - for a 3rd of the price. I have 3 artist guitars now (GnosisFR, Black 58 and Nylon acoustic)

Moderately ok

By: on 14 September 2023
For the current price of $369 it’s great. The guitar was in tune nearly!out of the box. Tweed case is alright too! Didn’t require too much set up minus tuning but this is to be expected with this style guitar. The bridge pickup is very bright and punchy. Only Con is the Tone Knob is a bit stiff and needs attention but otherwise I’m very happy with this!

Previous review stands on this just changing the rating. I think Artist really nailed it with this piece & for that I give 5 stars.

1st initial thoughts after unboxing this beauty WOW!!! Finish is amazing & at this price point cannot fault it looks AMAZING!!! Setup out of the box is great guitar sounds amazing!!! You will find it hard to find anyone who will be able to fault this taken the price point into account it is surely a keeper. I was umming & arrrhing on this buy for sometime but glad I bit the bullet & decided to purchase. I am collecting ST/SST style guitars ATM as most likely will only add one more LP style & a few SG ones. This is a worthy addition to my collection & my third Artist guitar. I am happy with all of them & will sure to add more in the future :)

I have searched long time for the Floyd Rose guitar that will look good and will not break the bank. What I have found is incredible !!! Well done Artist. With this guitar you bought my loyalty and my next purchase. I will not hesitate to order from you again. Set up was easy and straight forward (following YouTube tutorial) I was done in less than one hour. Thank you for making great and affordable instruments.

An amazing guitar at very low cost!

By: on 22 December 2022
I've been trying to buy a Artist GNOSIS6FR Blue Cloud 24 fret Guitar for the past 10 months after hearing good things about them, but they were always out of stock. The main reason I bought this guitar was because I really need a 24 fret guitar for some of my lead solos. So as soon as the new stock arrived recently I ordered mine immediately, Artist guitars shipped it out very quickly and it finally arrived today after being held up in the past office for the past 3 days. The delivery driver who I know personally knew this guitar was at the post office and delivered another parcel to me yesterday but not this guitar which really annoyed me and I lodged a complaint this morning I've waited far too long to get one of these guitars.. Out of the box is all did was install some new strap locks and fit a new guitar strap, stretched in the strings and tuned it up and that was pretty much it. Over the coming weeks I will most likely make some fine tuning and set up adjustments, but overall I am very impressed by the build quality and how it came out of the box. I love the colour and finish of this guitar. Absolutely perfect for a rock chick like me. I play and sing a wide variety of country rock, cajun rock, rockabilly, blues rock, funk rock, pop rock oz rock and hard rock covers. I no longer use valve amps since I got my BOSS GT-8 multi-effects processor and run direct into my PA system. My favourite amp sound or simulator is a Marshall JCM-800 amp. So I played this guitar really hard for about 3 hours and it is still in tune and this is what I really love about Floyd Rose Tremolos when you know how to set them up and tune a guitar with them. I have just turned 60 and I have been playing guitar now for about 50 years since the age of 10 and have played professionally in many bands and hope others find my feedback helpful. I have a large collection of acoustic and electric guitars and have owned and played everything from vintage Gibson Les Paul/SG Guitars to Fender Telecaster and Stratocaster guitars. My favourite guitar has been my 80s model Fender Strat custom that looks very similar to a SRV custom that has a hot rodded HSS pickup configuration and a Floyd Rose Tremolo. But I also own other Fender Strats and ST copies with standard tremolos with various pick up configurations. But they are all 22 fret guitars and nothing compares to, and delivers the type of sound quality and sustain that I get from this guitar which is simply superb and makes this baby really sing! Although the neck feels a little bit chunkier than what I am use to with my Fender Strats, I love the neck because I really think the single piece neck through the body design that really gives it so much sustain and what really makes a real difference with this guitar. I really am blown away at how great this guitar sounds and it is going to make it really hard for me to want to go back and play my Fender Strats. This guitar has impressed me so much that I will eventually invest in some of Artist guitars other signature models including their 8 string model. Well done Artist Guitars, you won me!

Thank you so much for the detailed and great review of the guitar. We appreciate it.

Can you modify this and sell them?

By: on 31 August 2022
Just wondering. I would love to buy this guitar when available, But only if you can sell these with the Neck and VGold Floyd rose from the SS87 DELUXE thats due to ship November 2022. Can you do this?

Artist Guitars Response
Hi Dorian. I am sorry to say that we do not customize the guitars in our listing and they are only available as is.

Worth the wait!

By: on 7 February 2022
I have had my eye on this guitar since late 2020. I finally decided to bite the bullet after seeing my friend Pete Northcote jamming on this guitar on YouTube. This is my first Floyd Rose guitar so I made sure I had watched a heap of YouTube videos on setting it up correctly from the onset. On taking it out of its packaging I took my time to set it up, around 30 minutes and got it sounding really nice. It hasn’t gone out of tune at all In the first 3 days of some serious playing. Very very impressed by this guitar. Love the colour. All my other guitars are black so this is a bright one for my collection as it deserves to stand out. I love the beautiful light and thin body and the neck is lovely. This is my first Artist Guitar but I already have an Artist bass. I’m already am looking to grab another electric guitar by Artist. Top job. I already love this guitar!!!

Artist GNOSIS6FR Blue Cloud Electric Guitar Review

By: on 28 January 2021
[ ARRIVAL ] The guitar arrived on the expected date and came with an extra lead and picks. the guitar comes pretty well set up tho the action was a bit high for me. The guitar comes with all the alen keys you need and the whammy bar comes in a bag, not on the guitar, so there is no damage to the bridge or strings while shipping. The tuners had a bit of grime on them but it rubbed off easy. [ LOOKS (good) ] I took it out the packaging and it looked way better to me than the image shown on the website. The colour looks much better in person. The cloud pattern runs horizontal across the body rather than angled like in the image shown. The black hardware goes great with the blue cloud body. there is no string tree unlike shown in the image shown and there wouldnt need to be one since the neck is already angled. The guitar has a gloss finish on the front and the back and on the neck which is said to make the neck sticky but i havent found it to slow down my playing in any way. [ LOOKS (bad) ] I could see a bit of unpainted wood around the cover of the electronic cavity on the back. I think the guitar would look better with a pure white binding rather than an off white creamy colour. The binding on the neck is chiped on both sides under the locking nut [ PLAYING ] There where no sharp fret ends and the guitar shape gives easy accses to all 24 frets. I find that after a bit of playing my finger tips were black. This aparently happens alot with brand new guitars and even happens with brands like Ibanez. People say it's to do with somthing they put on the strings to make them last longer, others say it,s the fretboard dye but i personally think its the frets since i rubbed my finger along a fret and got a black streak. weird stuff but this problem usually gose away. the whammy bar made a ting sound when depressed beyond a certain point and i checked the springs to make sure they werent catching on anything which they were not so to stop the tinging i put a bit of foam under the springs and it seems to have fixed the problem. Im not going to say much about tone because i cant really tell tbh i just keep the tone knob on 10 but the guitar sounds great to me and the neck through design gives it long lasting sustain. Some people say that Floyd Rose Specials arent the best at holding tuning but iv only had to tune it once and it hasent gone out of tune ever since. Overall this guitar is great and is my go-to guitar for fast playing. Im not sure if the image has some differences to the actual guitar maybe because they have tweeked the design a bit after its release. i hope not becuase than this review wouldnt be as helpfull.

Dude......

By: on 18 January 2021
I’ll take a Pepsi challenge on any Ibanez/schec / Jackson with a locking trem on this beast. Dude for the price it’s a steal. The color looks rad - the quality is top notch- has a human made it vibe. I played it thru Bias Fx2 and it ATE up the Pantera/Metallica presets! My new djent machine. Thanks Artist . After friends saw it they will definitely be checking out your store. Stoked

Good!

By: on 16 January 2021
After waiting for it's released, this guitar is very good!.. colour is little different from the photo, but it's grown on me.. floyd rose work well, but it need slight set up .. still play well from the box.. solid black headstock will look good on this , but the blue look OK... Thanks A/G's

Great Guitar

By: on 14 January 2021
Mine arrived today. Guitar looks great, it feels and looks well made. Played very nicely out of the box. No blemishes. Two things, which are quite minor. The colour is definitely not blue. It’s is more of a sea green/ aqua would be my best description. It’s still a nice colour but I was actually looking for something like the picture which is definitely a darker blue. Also when I peeled of the protective plastic cover on the backplate it did lift some of the black colour off. Again not a bit deal and I’m not gonna mark down the guitar for that. I definitely think a new photo needs to go up that is more indicative of the colour as I would likely have not purchased this colour as I was really after a more striking blue. Cosmetic stuff at best but these are very nice guitars at a great price

Blue!!

looks absolutely stunning and I'm saving up for one, from my experiences with artist I look forward to it because they never seem to disappoint

Looks fantastic, looking forward to it!

Artist guitars is such a good brand, I own 2 of their guitars and I'm saving up for this one, I'm mainly writing the review to bump the ratings up because some dickhead rated 0 stars because they didn't like the look.

looking good

By: on 24 September 2020
From looking at the visual given above this guitar looks amazing. I think the black hardware goes great with the blue cloud body and i think the black headstock is cool. I can't quiet decide myself weather a black or blue headstock looks better but both work well. I've preordered and cant wait to get my own. I love that Artist guitars decided to make a floyd rose guitar and the only thing i can think of to make this the perfect guitar is a kill switch and more high output pickups. but for only $299 its great just the way it is right now.

A better version

By: on 16 September 2020
This guitar would be better design if comes with gold hardware and split coil switch to give more warm rock strat clean tone. It would awesome.
