Artist AS1 Electric Guitar w/ HSS Pickups & Accessories

If you're someone who wants to play a bit of metal like Pantera, Van Halen or Metallica, but then wants to play rock like Arctic Monkeys or Cold Play, and then wants also to do a bit of Jimi Hendrix... basically, you're looking for a guitar that can do a bit of everything, then this electric guitar is the right choice for you.

This guitar gives you a clean sound as well as much distortion as you can handle from your amp or effect pedals without any extra unwanted noise and squeals.

The AS1 electric guitar is a great way to be introduced into the world of rock, funk and blues as it is a beginner's copy of a classic guitar that has done countless albums, tours and made many a guitar icon. The contoured body provides great comfort in playing which has made this type of guitar a favourite with many players.

It has a tremolo bridge that is not floating or lock tuning like a Floyd Rose, but rather it is designed for a small amount of vibrato so locking nuts are not necessary. Great Quality parts and Wilkinson Pickups make this guitar a step above the rest. We also sell these as a package with an amplifier if you need.

This is a full-size guitar perfect for Adults, recommended for children over the age of 12 (or younger if your child is strong and taller than 1.2m)

It includes all accessories you need to get started:

  • AS1 Electric Guitar
  • Electronic Guitar Tuner
  • Strap
  • Bag
  • Lead
  • Picks

Some of this guitar's great features

Blue Tick It has an Eco-rosewood fingerboard and maple neck, a 2-way truss rod (which means you can adjust the neck up or down)

Blue Tick Wilkinson pickups (ceramic) mean you will get a much better sound than a standard pickup. The STH comes with a Humbucker and 2 single-coil pickups. This gives you more versatility in the styles you can play. Humbucker pickups allow you to produce better distorted tones.

Blue Tick It has a classic bridge (so you can do classic style tremolo and string bends) & die-cast machine heads that will help you stay in tune longer and make your tuning easier.

Blue TickWe include a range of support materials from how to tune, how to read tab, basic chord shapes and more.

I haven't played guitar in a very long time so trying to pick it up again from scratch. This guitar and kit is a great starter set up. The guitar did not need any set up and even the intonation seems to be good. I amd enjoying picking ot up again on this guitar.

Artist Guitars made it really easy to choose the guitar I needed. The online purchase process was seamless, their communication was prompt and regular, and they provided me with tracking details so I could track my delivery. It took less than a week for my entire order to arrive. The online beginner guitar lessons are super easy and very helpful to get started and give you confidence. I'm delighted with my guitar, amp and the service from Guitar Artists.
