Artist ST62 Vintage White Electric Guitar
This is the latest in Artist's signature model guitars. It boasts a modern tremolo - slot in slot out arm rather than the vintage screw-in design. This is an extremely nice guitar to play with great appointments all around. It features a comfortable '62 style neck with the Artist ST style headstock. This is also the first guitar in the Artist line up to feature the Artist "Wrangler" series single coil pickups featuring Alnico 5 magnets which were designed to replicate that great vintage tone so important to the "ST" style of guitar. Add to this the locking machine heads and medium jumbo frets and you have a great all around axe.
The body is constructed using Solid Poplar with a canadian maple neck and eco-rosewood fretboard.

Fantastic Strat for the money!
By: Rob McCarthy on 31 January 2020I love this beast. I've had it for around 6 months. It's finish is equal to the best guitar I've ever played including some costing thousands. The playability is great. It only required minimal setup and the tone is spot on. The alnico staggered pole pickups have that real Strat 'chime' and switch positions 2 abd 4 have that 'quack'. My favourite position for must stuff is the neck pick up. The eco-rosewood fingerboard and frets are so smooth. It's a joy to play! Even has locking tuners. Not perfect but they hold tune well. I wouldn't be surprised if this was as good or better than any of the Squire brand Strats. Keep it up Artist!

what a guitar
By: Tom Adair on 8 January 2020I have seven guitars all strats and teles 2 of these are artist guitars and the others are very expensive either original fenders , G&L American strats or very nice partcasters, these Artist guitars were brought to my attention on YouTube by the likes of the great guitarist Brett Kingman and others, most comments were about what great value for money they were, to me it either a great guitar or its not. Both my Artist guitars are great guitars so well set up and with good quality fittings and I love them,don't take my word for this watch Brett's channel and listen with headphones or good speakers, or better still go in and try them if there are any left. Thank you Artist guitars, PS no I don't work for them or even know anyone in the shop, in fact I am not even in the same State, regards Tom Adair.

Nice guitar but it will need to go to luthier
By: Robert on 30 December 2019This is so close to being a great guitar but falls just short. The good bits: the neck and body are beautifully shaped, the paint is perfect, the satin finish on the neck feels great, the pickups sound good, the frets were nicely polished. The not so good bits: one of the frets has a notch in it which I feel when I bend, the end of the tremolo arm kicks up at a weird angle (by design), it came with a really high action and a medium action is the best I can get (lots of fret buzz with lower action) . The bad bit: the nut is cut poorly (really high on strings 2-6 and really low on high E) which affects the playability and tuning stability in a big way. This is all fixable by a luthier and given the price of the guitar I shouldn't complain too much but I have bought other guitars for similar money and haven't had these problems (to be fair the other guitars had problems this one doesn't have but they were things I could fix myself).

Great guitar for the price
By: Kev on 17 July 2019This is one hell of a guitar for the price tag. Feature-wise, it does not differ a huge amount from my deluxe strat. It is decent weight but not too heavy, pickups sound great, comfortable neck with the fretboard well finished.

Great strat
By: Roger Black on 8 July 2019This is one very nice guitar. As good as any Strat but without the high price. Thanks John for your help. Very nice comfortable neck. Plays like butter. Great tones and clarity when needed. Can be used for guitar twang, funk, blues, fusion, jazz. Whatever you want will work with this. Not too heavy just a good weight. Lovely low action. The Antique White stands out on stage against my black or electric blue clothes. Sounds and looks great. Get yourself one, you will love it.
