Artist TC59 Electric Guitar with Bullbucker Pickups
The Artist TC 59 Electric guitar has certainly been a long time in the development phase but as the saying goes, "good things come to those who wait" and the TC59 is finally here and a "good thing" it certainly is!
Combining vintage styling with contemporary appointments, the TC59 is a worthy addition to the Artist Guitars brand offering everything that you could want in an electric guitar without the hefty price tag.
Sporting Artist's in-house designed and manufactured "Bull Bucker" humbucking pickups, the range of sound possibilities that can be achieved from the '59 whether it be jazz, blues, rock or country, is quite astounding. The "Bullbuckers" is a fantastic pickup in their own right and are starting to make some very positive noise amongst guitar players but when they are combined with the TC59's American Ash body and the vintage style maple neck you have an absolutely outstanding guitar package.
The modern bridge which allows for each string's intonation to be adjusted separately guarantees that you can set your guitar up to its optimal level - such a necessary and useful innovation.
To top it all off this wonderful little axe has locking machine heads which make sure that tuning is never far from perfect.
Check this little beauty out! It is well worth the effort - you won't be disappointed!!!

Nice Tele
By: James on 14 August 2020Great instrument, quick action, beautifully made, you can’t beat the price. It comes with locking tuners, I had to buy another one because I lent the first one to a friend and he doesn’t want to give it back. It is heavy but the sustain is good and it looks beautiful (For a Tele)

Very happy
By: Craig on 31 July 2020I had decided to pick up a guitar to learn, and came across the TC59 by Artist Guitars whilst looking at reviews on line. I have to say I am very happy with my guitar, which I bought with the Tweed case. I had not heard of Artist guitars before, but after reading and seeing reviews on them, and after looķing at other cheaper offers in music stores, I bought the TC59. I have to say I am not disappointed, and glad I found these. As some have said in reviews, these are not light, but I think this adds to the feel of a solid quality build. Build quality, features and sound, the TC59 is great value, and I think far better than some more expensive guitars I looked at. I also have to say the Team at Artist Guitars are very helpful, and offer amazing Customer Service.

A hunk of burning rhythm
By: Q on 27 July 2020Wow this thing is on fire. When I bought the TC59 I was so impressed I immediately told a good friend about it. When he bought one, he was equally impressed. Make no mistake, this is a gigging guitar with a feel and sound way ahead of instruments costing thousand of dollars more. The split coil pickups give you the solid humbucker fattness or the single coil cackle right there at the tips of your fingers. I have used this one at high gain levels a few times, and even at live sound levels, there is not even a hint of things getting out of control. In fact quite the opposite. You can feel it start to resonate in sympathy with the sound at high volumes, but it's always under your control to either let it go or pull it back. This guitar is punching way above it's price point, get one, you won't be disappointed.

TC59 Guitar
By: Trevor Moss on 15 July 2020While I don’t have much experience with a variety of guitars since I’ve only been learning for a few months I couldn’t resist when I stumbled across this TC 59 . Even forewarned about it being a hefty one I was still a bit surprised but then again I don’t know how it compares to other T style guitars. The ES 339 I am also learning on is probably at the other end of the spectrum. That said it seems to be excellent value with pleasant sounding pickups, solid controls, locking tuners and the intonation can be individually adjusted at the bridge. It arrived quickly in good condition and almost in tune. A quick once over and all was good plus the intonation was spot on for the standard strings. (I’ve since put a heavier set on just to see ) It doesn’t seem to get far out of tune between sessions and I now know why others prefer non gloss necks as I prefer this satin feel neck to the gloss one on my ES339 . All things considered a well priced buy in my humble opinion but if you’re a smaller person consider the weight beforehand. My scales have it at 5.1kg. Otherwise enjoy yourself whatever you choose.

An Incredible Quality Instrument!
By: Shane Peninton on 14 July 2020This is not a cheap, get what you pay for product! It is definitely a professional performing instrument! This guitar is a gift for the price. As soon as you pick it up to feel the fret board, you can tell it is built to extreme tolerances and it seethes of quality. Attention to detail and finish along with the sound production, is comparable to instruments many times more expensive. A pleasure to play!
