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 moreamn good through my little Fender amp... Artist Guitars Company Number 1... I have previously bought things from Artist Guitars and always excellent service and prompt delivery... Bob Hely. Pimpama. Qld.Affordable quality and the gear is worth it.
Ian helped me with my concerns and personally stepped in to resolve it for me.
Saved a long time customer . thank you Ian
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
Thanks, actually ordered the AG45 the day i posted the review, and STH last week.. been playing the AG45 non stop since it arrived, Loving its tone, its literally the perfect guitar for a beginner suc...
Read moreh as myself, feels good, thin neck, action was set perfect, looking forward to playing with the STH when it arrives in a couple days. As for my next NEXT axe, that Gnosis 6 is looking pretty sweet!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...
Thanks for the review Sarah! There should be no string buzz on our guitars so if you're having issues with this please give us a call or reply to the invoice we emailed you. We'll gladly troubleshoot your problem.

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!
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.
I an artist guitar package and i got absolutely love it. Their online store is very honest as you get exactly what you see.
Oh I have fallen in love with my guitar and my wife gets jealous of her.
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

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 moreth 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.Find out how Artist Guitars compares to other Music / DVD Shops

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.
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.

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).

Great products and customer service!
I have bought many items from Artist Guitars over the last 4 years from Hard Cases, Electric Guitars LP’s and Strats, Acoustic’s, Amps and Mics. All of their products are well priced and of a very high standard. My latest purchase was an 8 string electric guitar.
I have tried to learn playing the guitar a number of times and thought I would give it a go again. Not wanting to spend to much in case I lost interest again I started looking on Gum Tree and surfing the net where I happened to find Artist Guitars. They had a factory 2nd Beginner Acoustic Guitar Pack on sale for $80. I was a bit hesitant at first to order one thinking there must be something wrong with the guitar for this price. After having looked at all the good reviews on their site I ordered one and was not disappointed when I received it. I received it within a week as promised and was well packaged. You would never think the guitar was a 2nd. I would not hesitate to recommend Artist Guitars to friends and family.
My third and most recent purchase from Artist Guitars was a Drum Stool. It arrived on time and well packaged. This was the motor cycle seat model. It was very easy to assemble and I was really impressed with the quality of the product. The components were really solid and well made. I purchased a similar item from a competitor a few weeks ago and had to return it due to its poor quality. For the money, this stool represents outstanding value. The seat padding is very firm. I would have liked it a little softer, but my research suggests that th...
Read moreey all tend to be firm. I had a couple of questions about the item before purchase and the staff at Artist Guitars were most helpful and fast to respond. They even offer a "free returns" policy up to 100 days after purchase, so really I could not go wrong. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.Ordered an Artist LSPSCEQ Small Body Guitar! Arrived when promised. Amazed at the quality of the product and the sound
I bought an Artist Tenor Guitar, it is an excellent instrument well made with good quality woods and tuning pegs.
I have recorded with it and also used it in my stage show.
My collection of guitars include Martins, Gibson and Taylor acoustics this little guitar holds its own!
5 stars!!
I ordered some effect pedals and I wanted to return one and the company was very fast with its delivery. I was impressed. I'm looking at getting a guitar and with the great service I received, I am confident that will be a great buy as well.

Artist Guitars provides fantastic after sales service. Returning goods is easy and replacements are delivered very promptly with delivery status emails. Their on-line chat service is most helpful, friendly and efficient. Good quality products at great prices and helpful staff - Artist Guitars are a pleasure to shop with.

I have just purchases two LP59 guitars, one was a factory second.
The service was excellent and the delivery was 2 days ahead of schedule and I had emails detailing my delivery status all the way. The guitars are both of very good quality. I own other expensive guitars and can honestly say that these play and sound as good as any other name brand guitar. I give them 10/10 for bringing good value for money.

Artist Guitars has been one of the consistently best online Australian shops.
I’ve bought many things over the years from Artist. They’ve all been good and the shipping is quick and free which simplifies things. Their value for money is excellent as is their pre-sales help on chat/phone. I’ve yet to need to return or claim under warranty yet, but going on their general attitude and other reviews, I have trust in their ethics. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ARTIST GUITARS!!!!
If only other online Oz shops were as ethical and had as good a service (I’m looking at you MyDeal.com - dodgey as hell)
Really happy with this foam hard case, and the excellent service from Artist Guitars. Fully tracked delivery, and very quick. I will shop here again!

I was looking for a Bass Guitar to play in my church band. Have never played a bass guitar before. The pop up helper on the website was very patient and explained the differences between the guitars and helped me understand the technology. The guitar I ordered was part of a pack and was good value (having compared it with others online). Had a really fast delivery (only took a couple of days).It looks great, sounds great and feels great. A positive experience all round. Would definitely recommend this company to a friend.
