As an addition to buying your new guitar, we are proud to offer you a series of online lessons designed specifically for beginning guitar students. This series of lessons is designed and presented by our inhouse guitar teacher John Holland. John has over 35 years of teaching experience from beginner to advanced and absolutely believes that the basic fundamentals of this great instrument form an extremely useful base for all practising guitarists.
This is what this lesson pack is all about - the stuff that nobody really tells you at the start of your guitar playing journey. Issues like holding the guitar, using a plectrum and some simple exercises to start you off. So whether you're 7 or 70, take some time to check out the lesson pack and most importantly - be patient and have fun!
Here are the reasons why:
We use sustainable timbers on all of our beginner to intermediate guitars. The neck and bridge of the CL12 are constructed from a composite rosewood timber substitute known as eco-rosewood.
The guitar has been set-up at the factory for optimum beginner playing level. We call this Practical string action. String action is the height of the string to the fretboard. This is very important because a guitar with a high action is hard to play, while a guitar with too low an action will buzz unnecessarily and sound bad. Artist Guitars are set up at the factory for the optimum level for a beginner.
A Truss Rod that allows you to correct for the effects of weather on the guitar help keep the neck straight and the action height the neck can be adjusted. You will struggle to find a guitar at this low price with a truss rod.
Comes included with a Bag to protect your guitar, Strap and Built-In Tuner - A tuner for a beginner is vital. A guitar needs to be tuned every time you play. This tuner is extremely simple to use and because it's built into the guitar, you'll never lose it.
Recommended by some of Australia's top guitar teachers.
We include a range of Support Materials including how to tune, how to read tab, basic chord shapes and much more.
Our price is always Lower Than a Retail Store (often by 30-40%) we keep our prices low by only selling our own range of guitars direct from the factory. Our business is built on offering a great value guitar at a great price.

Great beginner's guitar for kids
By: Paul on 7 September 2019I've been playing guitars for 30+ years and I bought this guitar for my 6yr old son. The nylon strings and 1/2 size (as recommended) are perfect! The built-in tuner is very handy too. He's already learned his first riff! I highly recommend this guitar for young beginners. Delivery was next-day (Sydney Metro) and delivered on time.

Great Product and great service
By: Muyo on 9 November 2018I was shopping for a good quality guitar, but cheaper at the same time and I almost bought from Amazon. After a quick Google search, I stumbled upon this website and a gentleman by the name of Jason was on hand for a chat. I asked him all sorts of questions and I was impressed by his knowledge, professionalism and patience. I immediately concluded he was not just trying to get me to buy from them as he never pushed me or anything. Man I'm glad I bought from these guys. I was very impressed at the fast shipping; the quality of the products and the professionalism of the packaging... very very good. The day later I came back on the website to check for how to afix the strap and what the purpose of the Allen key was. I was attended to by a gentleman by the name of Welvin. He was very good and helpful and it happens that they are brothers with Jason. If you are shopping for a guitar, look no further than these guys. I will highly recommend them to family and friends. 5 starts for sure! (Product, quality, price, service)

I just experienced first hand why Artist Guitars h
By: Robert Hales on 28 August 2018I used to live in the UK where my best friend was a luthier - he repaired and set up all manner of stringed instruments (from the average joe's muck about guitar to the highly valuable classical instruments of major orchestra players - to the finely tuned instruments of highly regarded session musicians) - he also custom built electrical instruments by request. Despite being a South African living in London - he recommended I should try and get an Artist Guitars guitar - as I was wanting to start learning; and having set one up for another player - he was a fan of how they were made (and their price point). Unintentionally, I ignored his advice and ended up with a cheap brand of plastic fret boarded guitar (for very little money mind) that came in a hard case that had been won by a non-guitar interested friend at a raffle. I then moved to Australia and tried to get properly into learning the guitar - two separate friends - one a bass player in a well known Darwin band - the other my Melbourne guitar teacher - both recommended I got an Artist Guitars guitar. Again I failed to take the advice. Two and a half years ago (now with 2 kids) I moved to New Zealand and wanted to have a guitar around that my kids could muck round on and become familiar with. I looked online and found some really really good guides on what to look for what not to waste your time with etc etc. It was only then that I realised I was reading the advice of Artist Guitars. This time however, I followed the advice of the wiser heads that was before my eyes - I bought a half size nylon stringed classical - and whats more - I bought the Artist Guitars one. I am not a knower of all things guitar, but I do know that the guitar that I bought from Artist Guitars (1/2 size nylon string classical) that came with a carry case, spare strings and a built in tuner - is a wonderful felling and sounding instrument and my kids now have to fight me for who gets to play with it first. As far as customer experience goes, I genuinely couldn't be happier. The guitar came well packaged, was delivered at no cost and only a day after I ordered it - I am wholeheartedly impressed with the service, the product and the price point - just wish I had taken the advice to buy Artist earlier.
