Artist AP59 Apricot Burst Electric Guitar w/ Bullbucker Pickups

The Artist AP59 is a premium guitar in a timeless single-cutaway shape. If you're looking for a great rock and blues guitar, this AP59 is perfect; fluid, fat tones with endless sustain.

It features an Apricot Burst finish over a two-piece 5A-grade flamed veneer, on a carved Maple top with a solid African Mahogany back. The body and Mahogany set neck has a single-ply cream binding, with a high-grade Eco-Rosewood fretboard, Trapezoid Mother of Pearl Inlays, 22 frets in a 24.75" scale length, and a comfortable C-shape radius. The deluxe hardware includes a lock-down-post Tune-O-Matic Bridge with brass saddles, aluminium Stop-Bar tailpiece and Chrome locking tuners.

The AP59AB features our very own Bullbucker humbucking pickups, which include coil-splitting capability to give you ultimate control over your tonal options! These are known for their smooth, 'flute-like' neck tones, and the bridge pickup can push an amp into that perfect breakup we all love.

We also use the best electronic parts and braided wiring, with 2 Volume push/pull knobs for coil splitting, 2 Tone Controls, 3 Way Toggle Switch, Japanese Split Brass Shaft 500K Pots, and 0.022uF 400V ceramic capacitors.

This comes strung from the factory with D'Addario EXL110 strings.

Very Impressed!

By: on 11 April 2024
Purchased this guitar online just before 7pm on Tuesday, guitar arrived Thursday morning just after 9am, that's got to be a record! just a day and a half (Impressed!). took it out of the box and let me tell you the pictures on the website does not do this guitar justice, a beautiful deep apricot colour and the stain on the back very classy(Impressed!). Picked it up and immediately noticed how light it is, compared it to a strat type guitar I have and it feels lighter, then I weighted it and it came in at 4kg, must be a light 4kg because it does not feel that heavy (Impressed!). Tuned up and plugged in and I think they must have used a chambered body on this one by mistake as it sounded resonant and the brass saddles really make it sustain, which is one of the reasons I chose this guitar, for the brass saddles, which imo is better than roller saddles in terms of sustain (Impressed!). I have a guitar 3 times the price of this one which I'm selling cause I did not bond with it, let tell you another thing, this guitar is the superior guitar imo, bonded with it immediately. I've previously owned two LP guitars from Artist Guitars, the LP59GT90 and the LP59CSB, both very nice guitars indeed, but I think the AP59 is a keeper...(Very Impressed!). Thanks Artist Guitars.
