Great store, great service and prices
Excellent guitar store. Mainly deal in own brand, chinese-made guitars, basses and accessories. Also sell a variety of other music-related stuff, including those from reputable brands. Excellent selection of strings too.
Despite being china-made and very reasonably priced, own brand of instruments are nothing short of excellent. I'm a luthier by a hobby, both making and fixing electric guitars and i'm yet to get one from Artist that I would find not satisfactory. Often they are just straight great instruments. Apart from 3/4 and 1/2 size gui...Read more
tars i've dealt with every electric guitar and bass they sell (and own myself around 8 of them), all being really well made and sound great. QC is very stringent: i've seen few guitars of theirs purchased as 'factory seconds' and I couldn't find what's wrong apart from maybe tiny chip of paint somewhere hidden. Very untypical for chinese products, internal electrics and soldering are of pretty high standard. I've seen plenty of big brand names doing way worse (hello gibson!). Pots and tuners are a bit of hit/miss on cheaper ones, but higher price range is very solid. After-sale support is excellent, follow-ups from representative inquiring if any assistance is needed are norm, and generally you'll feel loved as a customer. Never had to return anything, but from what i gather returns are a breeze too. Shipping is fast, mostly free. I live in rural victoria and it takes a day or two to get fairly bulky items my way. Now, can they get better in terms of service? Probably not. It's great, seriously.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

the quality was amazing for such a low priced guitar
I got a used " grungemaster " at a pawnshop that was originally from this company
and the build quality I find is very good
the company seems very good and makes fabulous quality instruments
I'd buy their brand guitars more and suggest them to other musicians on a budget

Best online guitar gear store!
I'm a long-time Artist Guitars customer (over six years now), and I've bought many, many items from them, ranging from picks / capos / pedals / hard cases through to higher-end guitars and amps. Right now, I own six Artist guitars - a TC59 Telecaster, a VHYB5 5-string P-J Bass, a Spiritus7 7-String Electric, an OMS8FEQ Acoustic-Electric, an HG39303CEQ Classical, and an OS60EQ Parlour Acoustic-Electric, and I'd rate each of those as excellent. (You guitarists out there will recognise the symptoms of severe G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) :-)....Read more
Yes, they're all made in S.E. Asia, but then so are many "name brand" guitars costing two or three times what AG charge. Consistently, build quality has been first-rate, set-up on delivery has been good (only some minor action/intonation tweaking needed), and pre- and after-sales service has been superb. And no, I don't work for Artist Guitars - in fact, I've never even visited their store, as I live in provincial Queensland. These guys have managed to optimise price, quality, and service, and they deserve the high ratings they score. And on the rare occasions when I've encountered a problem, it has been sorted courteously, quickly, and to my complete satisfaction. If I could award them 6 stars out of 5, I would.1 comment

It would've been a 5 star review if not for their choice in Courier
You guys were fantastic to deal with and helping me sort out my delivery issues, seemed very nice and helpful. Unfortunately your choice in Couriers Please is a real let down as they have a very poor service and have failed to deliver the item requested by the date due to the drivers negligence.
Its because of Couriers Please that I wont be shopping with you guys again until you change courier services.

Incredible. Absolutely incredible!
I placed an order for my LP6G CIMMERIAN guitar on a Wednesday morning. That afternoon I had confirmation it had been dispatched. I received it Friday morning and it's UNBELIEVABLE. The quality is outstanding for the price! It's a beautiful guitar! I can't recommend Artist highly enough, and I intend to with family, friends and colleagues. It's my 1st purchase from Artist and definitely won't be my last! Great Aussie company. Thanks so much guys!!!

Artist " Grungemaster " Guitar... Great Value !!!
I retired from music gigs recently after some 55 years and I have had a lot of makes and models of guitars / basses over the year; Fender, Gibson, Schecter, you name it and over the past 12 months or so I sold the lot ( I had about 40 guitars and a dozen or so basses which left me with one acoustic... ) I thought I'd give the Artist " Grungemaster " with a hard case a try so I bought one online yesterday... it arrived this morning ( Fast delivery ) and I can tell you that it is a really good instrument for not a lot of money and sounds pretty d...Read more

Love it!
About a week ago i purchased the LP60 wasn't expecting much for the price, but its a beautiful looking guitar, and myself being a beginner it really doesn't matter, but i was pleasantly surprised, it sounds far better than most guitars i picked up at my local music store of around the same value..
It feels good, heavy and solid... looks, well almost too good to be played LOL, really enjoying it so far.
Service from Artist guitars is excellent, shipping was really fast, no complaints about packaging.
Actually, i'm about to make yet another purchase from the Artist Ebay store, either the AG45 or an STH, lol i'm hooked

I chose the courier option however I wish I had chosen the local post... It took ages to get to me...but when it did...yaya ..what a beautiful piece of craftmanship for the money...it is as awesome as it looks and plenty of room for pitch bending...it does have a bottom E buzz but no different to the Fender squire tele /strat range...more bang for your buck...really happy with this purchase...

Very friendly staffs
I love visiting music stores and Artist Guitars' staffs at St. Peters are very accommodating. They even recommend me the right gauge of strings for my electric guitar. The Elixir strings that they've had recommended was so good to the feels and just right for my sweaty hands because of its coated feature. Great customer service guys!

Best value for money beginner guitar
The product was so good that this is the first review I've ever done for anything. Bought the 3/4 Classical guitar value pack for my daughter and the guitar was outstanding not to mention it came with gig bag, picks and extra strings. I had previously bought a 3/4 Yamaha for my son 2 years ago and just the guitar itself cost almost double what I paid for this guitar, add all the accessories and its more than double and the Artist guitar is a better product. The inbuilt tuner is just fantastic and makes tuning very easy for the kids. Also got the guitar 2 days after ordering and was informed all the way or its progress and arrival. I'll definitely be back to get another for my youngest.

Best quality for small amount of money EVER
I have bought a few things from artist guitars (diy guitar kit, strap, guitar and bass strings, capo, etc) and all of their stuff is just so good quality. My diy guitar kit was only $99 because it was marked down in a sale, and Everything was made correctly, like the screw holes are in the correct place, the neck fits perfectly, and once it was put together, it played, looked and sounded amazing. If this is what you get for $99 here imagine how good the 400 guitars they sell would be. I will buy from them again soon
Also they have free fast shipping to anywhere in Australia! I recommend artist guitars to everyone

Great Instruments at Great Prices
I have been playing guitar and bass for over 40 years - some of those years as a busy professional. When I started out entry level instruments were pretty crummy; guitars that had an action you could walk under, and sounded just as bad. To get anything near the quality of the Artist guitars and basses meant outlaying for an American made instrument and was very costly.
Now that I only play professionally occasionally I don't need a lot of expensive kit laying around. I bought an Artist PJ-Jazz hybrid bass and got an instrument that in my you...Read more
th would have cost over $1000. This bass came in dire need of a setup. That is to be expected; most instruments need setting up to A: getting them to a point of general play-ability, and B: getting them set up to the individual's requirements. My bass came with the action set very low, and as the bridge adjustment was at its highest and there was no neck relief it meant a truss rod adjustment was in order. This is a simple job but beginners should get a teacher or music store to show them how it is done. Fortunately I have done this dozens of times. I also prefer flatwound strings so I scrapped the factory set. These I put aside; one of my students may make use of them. When I came to put the new strings on I found that one of the machine heads had not been drilled to receive the string. A quick email to Artist and 3 days later I had a new machine head in my hands. Installed and I was ready to play. Very good after sales service.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Amazing value!
Found just what I was looking for online shopping for a musical instrument. I’m blown away by the playing quality of my purchase and the price was better than what I have previously paid elsewhere. Perfect for muso pros and beginners.

Amaziing people with products that never disappoint you
Artist guitar should really put "bang for the buck" as their tagline. Buying a first instrument can be daunting. You spend hours figuring out if 100$ will be worth it. For me, if I ever have to make such decision, I will never hesitate to make an instant choice for what artist guitar has to present. Not only do they sell best products for the money we invest, but their customer service is just too good.
If i even have to recommend anyone here in Australia to buy a musical instrument, Artist guitar will always be at no. 1 of my list.

The LP60 is a great guitar for $249.00
Purchased online in December 2018. The overall presentation and build quality of this guitar just surpassed every realistic expectation that I had of a guitar at this price point. It is simply flawless in it's finish. Shipped and arrived in 3 days - packaging was good enough to protect the guitar from responsible freight handlers, but could do with bubble-wrap-airbag packing between outer box and guitar bag. Anyway it arrived in mint condition and the package had clearly been well respected during shipping (well done Aus Post Express).

Good evening my name is Allan a Thomas and I am a music therapist and perform in age care homes. I was wondering if you would consider donating me one of your factory second electric guitar and or your 20 watt tweed tone valve amp? I have already purchased one of your TC59s and love it I try and put on a good show and try to recreate a fantasy sound for the residents I perform for. I am wiling to put up a banner at various places I perform at to advertise your in real products. Thanks Allan Thomas [email protected]
