Artist guitars ST62- A beautiful strat

By: Anup on 17 August 2020

This is an amazing guitar for the price. Really well built, very comfortable to play and sounds really nice. For the price, you really cannot fault it. Will be visiting Artist guitars again.

A beautiful instrument

By: Bel on 15 August 2020

I am so impressed with my recent purchase of the Artist ST62 electric guitar. It came out of the box in mint condition, with a lead and a few picks put in to sweeten the deal! The guitar itself is a quality instrument. Only wish I had purchased one years ago! The action on the fretboard is fantastic and the feel of the neck is so smooth. The sound is perfect and even better through the Joyo vintage overdrive effects pedal that I got at the same time. I love the fact that Artist guitars is an Australian company.

Very happy with this guitar

By: Isaac on 24 July 2020

I was surprised by the build of this guitar. It's a brilliant guitar and quite versatile too. Warm and woody or clear and glassy sounds are easily found.

A great guitar!

By: Phillip Rowe on 24 July 2020

My opinion on this guitar is, a fine instrument, overall! The finish is excellent, the neck is straight and smooth to play, the frets are finished very smoothly (no fret sprout!) the weight feels good, and the action is fine, before I even look at it. I'm already playing it as is, and I'm fairly fussy about string action, height, etc. The tremolo arm has a small grub screw that has to be loosened, to allow the arm to slide in, and I had never had this on my other trem systems, so I didn'y know about it! (Perhaps I should've looked harder!) Artist Guitars gave me the right advice and help with this matter, and it's working like a charm! So, all in all :- great finish, smooth action, I can get good tones from this excellent instrument, plus it has locking tuners, and also, a good size metal block in the trem system, which adds to the sound and sustain! What else would you want from a guitar? I am suitably impressed with the fact that they can supply this guitar for their affordable price, and still maintain the quality that we all want! This is my sixth Artist Guitar, apart from other accessories, and I have to say that I've never been disappointed with any purchases! Thank you, Artist Guitars for great instruments and great service!

Good guitar but......

By: Gerry on 10 June 2020

This guitar is great but....it does not include the trem arm even though it has a trem system and their official videos all show one. When I quized their Customer service they only go off their website. The customer service definitely have no idea on their products. Would have been a five star but the after sale support brought it down.

Fantastic Strat for the money!

By: Rob McCarthy on 31 January 2020

I 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 2020

I 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 2019

This 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 2019

This 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.
