Good review, be helpful if you played the same thing when showing splitting the coils…..
thanks for a bit of cream, its not heard very often!
Cheers Bob love ya work.
Got the Artist tele. It's a wonderful guitar. ????????.
so this guitar has no clear sounds…what a pity…
Cant go wrong in those shorts!!
Artist should do a Epiphone Casino Natural Ala beatles P90s , would buy one in a heart beat.
A year later and Artist have still not addressed the poor fretboard and fretwork with the manufacturer. I just got the Black58 and had to spend rather more than ten minutes fixing up the rough fingerboard and scratchy frets. This makes for a poor OOTB experience.
Otherwise, a nice budget 335 style guitar which feels and sounds great.
I have a cherry red one i love it.

I see you still haven't got out of your pajama pants Bob ????????.
Yes they're fantastic guitars for the price – I've got the Cherry58 and the Tobacco burst 10th Anniversary. Both kick arse.
And they say 335's were made for jazz (with evil Ted Nugent laugh, begins to crank the amplifier to full with wonderful feedback).
Thanks Bob, so glad you didn't say it was awesome out of the box, and that it did require some work, if it plays as good as it looks, $400! I'm in 🙂
I bought one of the Chuck Berry style 355 clones for $350 shipped with a bag.. A wonderful guitar, sounds and plays great. Only gripe is after about 3 months of use, didn't stay in tune. Had it set-up again, I'll see how it goes, but I am on the verge of using it in a live situation.
During the review, Bob claimed one or more setting as being “clean” which it was clearly not. Whilst I’m sure that a proper clean sound might be obtainable, I don’t understand why distortion on all settings demonstrated needs to be the nor.
Mind you, if this guitar is not capable of distortion free output, it’s certainly not for me.
Nicely played!
I still know Crossroads too. Great version by Clapton.
Good review! I'm looking to buy a Cherry58! Greetings from Hollywood California!
Are the Bull buckers voiced the same as in their other guitars? I already have a LP style artist guitar, with Bull buckers. Didn't want the same pick up sound in a different guitar
Nice looking guitar. A white pick guard would make it look even better.
Thanks for the nice review. Tuning tends to be the biggest issue for me with budget guitars, so locking tuners are the biggest selling point for me.
Late 60's at the peak, before the 70's burst of Hard Rock. Cream going strong. Wonderful Sound.
An excellent review, Bob. I enjoy your techy, almost nerdy, attention to detail.
The noise that I am hearing….electronic hum…. from guitar or amp???
Thanks for the great Review Bob !!! With such a wide tonal range due to the Coil Splitting of the 'base' Bullbucker created sound abilities it has, what would you say those ranges/tones are like if you compared other specific guitars to those. I mean like, can it be a Stratocaster, or a Telecaster, or a Les Paul….. at least very much like any of those – or close enough to. Or what specific difference (in body wood/construction tone creation etc) makes it NOT able to be like any of those in any close manner. From what I see (hear?) it seems it could mimic any of those to some good degree(?).
Great review and playing by Bob Spencer ???? I’m a little confused by the info conveyed here compared to the website. Bob says it’s a plastic nut, the website says bone. Someone’s asked about the weight, Artist has responded with “2.5 to 3kgs”, the website says “3.5 to 4kgs”.
And what does “preamp” refer to in this video’s title?
Cheers ✌️
Do you ship these to the states?
I have the seventh Anniversary, which has had many compliments. This sounds really great, what amp is used, please?
Can I ask how heavy is it? I find a lot of these cheaper guitars are like bricks. Being semi hollow i'm assuming it's not, but would be keen to know its actual weight. Great review and playing btw.
I am about to pull the trigger on the 'ARTIST BLACKCHERRY GLOSS BLACK HOLLOW BODY ELECTRIC GUITAR' with bigsbyish Trem
Thanks for sharing… great review Bob…I am 78 yrs old & remember the 'old ' days when I played a Maton as my first electric guitar, so gear has come along way since the early 60s… keep up the good work… cheers ????
????????????????
Just bought one of these as my first electric guitar. I’m loving it so far. Thanks.
Don't worry about the copy Bob – the demo said it all. I'm sure Artist would know what to send me if I stump up the cash!
