  • Recently bought the Artist STMVG Seafoam green strat. Haven't quite put it through it's paces, just been a bit busy. But the fretting on this guitar is exceptionally comfortable, all the way up to the higher frets. The easy access heel joint is the game change, makes it comfortable if you have shortish/fat fingers, to reach the higher frets.

  • Hi, I'm from Malaysia.
    Are there any dealers in Malaysia that sell original "Artist" brand guitars made in Australia?

  • Why does your guitar look whiter than the other vintage white st-62 guitars , all the other reviews I've watched the guitar is like a yellow colour this is a nice light cream ?

  • Mine is awesome….however the sound was just too thin and bright (I know it's supposed to be) but it was a bit too much for me.
    Combination of alnico 5 magnets and 500k small pots was the culprit.
    The locking tuners were nice but struggled with tension on 10s so I first put 250k big pots in with a huge difference….but not enough.
    So went with alnico 2 custom pickups and orange drop caps.
    Still not happy lol so installed the anti treble bleed mod and slapped a set of grover tuners on…..I'm happy now.
    Actually it gives my actual strat a run for its money now.

  • Hello Mate. Thanks for your review. I saw on an other review they come with a big block trem, but then I read a review on the website of the same guitar that says the trem block is made of plastic. Can you confirm or deny this?

  • I bought a Artist tc59 with the Bullbucker pickups the sustain is unbelievable all it needed straight out the box was a frett polish and some decent locking tuners the ones it came with kept on cutting the strings for some reason I swapped them out for proper fender locking tuners it stays in tune incredibly well, and plays so well it's one of my favorite guitars I've ever owned ,it has a split coil option giving it a wide range of musical playability, great instrument,this guitar the artist st62 is definitely my next guitar ,great price at only 290 bucks Australian is a bargain plus great value for money I believe ,I will be swapping the machine heads again though.

  • I realise I have posted a previous comment re: Artist guitars BUT … the bride bought me this model for xmas last year ( 2020 ) .. used it last night ( Dec 2021 )for the first time for a live gig … .. I'm blown away … it was freekin' awesome … had just put on a new set of strings , detuned a half step to accommodated the band and the thing just rocked … stayed in tune better than my mates 335 , sounded unbelievable, felt great underfoot and didn't give me back pain ,,.. I'm am now a total devotee … just waiting now for the new stock of Apricus 6 and hopefully sometime in the near future , Artist will bring out a thinline tele with singles ( not bullbuckers ) … don't know how they do it but what ever they are doing .. DON'T STOP … ????????????????

  • Nice work, Brett. I’ve got a couple of Japanese 80s Strats and my Artist ST62 is the one I go for most of the time. Mine doesn’t sound as good as yours though. I think I need to spend thousands on amps/effects/modellers. Alternatively-I could learn to play better. Nah.

  • These Artist guitars look like Harley Bentons so much, I won't be surprised if they are from the same factory

  • I've noticed Artist guitars has nailed down the good value for money lately
    the " grungemaster " and now this
    really good sound for the money

    I own a buitenhuis guitar ( fantastic sound and rob really did a great job ) but this artist guitar when upgraded might come close

  • I've just saw the "The '54" video and I've found it really well done and very interesting. Brett, I think you're a nice guy indeed and I'd really like to come to Australia to meet you (and do a little jam, off course!) BUT… I live in Italy, such a long way to Australia… Let me just say that I like a lot your videos, they're always very interesting and I like the way you play guitar, keep on rocking, Brett!

    their 20w tweed amp is very handy too. better than a BJ3 in my mind.

  • Thanks for the review Brett and while you're in the middle of a tour!! Great gig at the Enmore by the way – loved it and as always your playing was impeccable! Here at Artists we are getting a lot of interest in the ST 62 and no doubt now that your review is up the enquiries will increase. I get so many people wandering into the showroom asking about the gear that you have reviewed and with good reason – always great playing from one of the natures gentlemen. Thanks again mate.
