I bought the AT92 , same thing only half a tree heavier and to be honest I wasn't impressed with the difference in the split...sent it back and swapped it for an AT91V2 with the Twangler single coils. Both guitars even though the quality was kicking above their price I did find after swapping them that the necks were totally different even though the specs were the same on their site. The AT92 was chunky as and the frets felt like super jumbo where the 91V2 was thinner and the frets not as high and so much easier for me to play. Living way out in the country I can't just rock up to the shop without a 5hr drive but I can say the folks at Artist sure have the best customer service and satisfaction policy attitude that I have ever dealt with...The best in Australia by far.

I just got the pedal and found the same issue, thanks for the hints. The other thing that bothers me, though, is that the wet signal seems to be a couple ms behind the dry signal, creating a distorted signal almost like a chorus, killing any semblance of a clean tone.

How’s the guitar holding up?

Amazing, saved my butt for todays gig! Thank you so very much sir!

Damn mate thanks so much for this. I did exactly what u did. Thought it was faulty or maybe i needed a DI box or something. Yours is only vid that explains this properly! Top man!!

Thank you!

Thanks for the no nonsense review and tasty playing. No split coil humbucker can quite nail a true Fender type single coil sound because of it's design. The coil itself can be wound to be very similar, but humbuckers use bar magnets underneath the coil whereas a Tele single coil has rod magnets through the centre of the coil and that makes for a snappier twang that bar magnets won't deliver. So like you say, it's best not to expect a true Tele sound and just accept it for what it is. I have a TC59, which is exactly the same except it has a solid body. It's a great modding platform. I put a humbucker size Charlie Christian in the neck and a humbucker size p90 in the bridge, also swapped the heavy dead sounding bridge for a 3 saddle chopped Tele bridge and did some fret levelling. It's a great sounding guitar now. I'm tempted to get the thinline version and swap everything over just for a lighter guitar. The TC59 weighs as much as a heavy Les Paul.

Hi mate! so I bought this oc-5 yesterday So I tried it last night but when I press the switch for some reasons it cuts down my guitar level and turns my high ends up on the guitar. Plus the bass flickers, it doesn’t resonate

Thanks for the video. I first bought the OC-5 a year ago but returned it, frustrated that it didn’t work well with my Taylor with piezo pickups. After a year and hearing how so many love it, I though I try it again, only to still get a lot of warbling. Your video made all the difference! Thanks!

I've got TC-59. The only appreciable difference is the weight. The TC-59 weighs a shite-ton. lol I take it to blues jams w/a Vox G2 3w busking amp and just stick an SM57 in front of it through the mains. The first time I showed up everybody thought it was a joke...until we kicked into the first song. The G2 held its own for stage volume. I use a Boss TU-2, Beringher Vintage distortion(the green one) and that's it. It's a killer rig. I keep the amp on the twin setting. Tone at 12 o'clock, gain at 1 and the volume buried. I like a simple rig. Artist electrics are the best affordables in the world barr none.

My Artist guitar was super scratchy in the frets. 2000 grit paper then polish with a rag I wanted one simple to travel and the weight

Great review & you played it clean, so we can hear the actual true tone of it. Most reviewers play flashy stuff with all sorts of effects which sound just like any electric guitar available. I agree with you that it does not quite sound like a twangy Tele nor a Les Paul, but for most players, it is not too bad & really looks the business. I have the TC59 & put a hot bridge single coil in to give a great Tele sound which mates well with the very good Artist neck humbucker. Your review was much better than most on the tube. Cheers.

Looking like my next is to be an Artist.

churrrrr - always goiod to see another guitar channel lol keep it up

I wish other guitar reviewers did what you do. It makes it easy to judge the merits of the guitar and the downsides. This was an honest and no BS review from an actual muso, and that makes ALL the difference. Thanks mate and keep up the good work.

Thank you, but no review/demo of the Bigsby!

great review ...playing the exact licks really helps not get distracted

Great review! The pickup split sound is not unlike the Fralin unbuckers.

good review considering one of these when back in stock

A mate of mine was at a NAMM show twenty years ago and said lookout the Chinese are coming. What he saw all these Chinese with cameras and laptops and tape measures all over guitars . It has come to Australia in the name of Artist Guitars. They are clones of Fenders and Gibsons etc. They are exceptional value and are so close to the real thing the mind boggles. All the reviews are spot on as i have purchased several guitars and a tweed amp and all are fabulous. I have a John Lennon Casino i purchased 15 year ago . Made buy Epiphone and made in China a great guitar. China is going to decimate the guitar industry as fender has cut staff and can't compete and musicians are realizing they don't have to spend thousands of dollars. Great for us .

keep on making vids mate. nice strats btw from a dude in hastings .

þrðmð§m ☺️

Great review… I’m convinced, and will be buying one today! Thank you.

Very Cool. Thankyou. I have been thinking of getting one of these, have the Artist Guitars TC59 and Grungemaster and Love them. Such amazing Guitars. Cheers

Thanks man! Looking into getting equipment to record and this was helpful .. appreciate it. Subbed !

For a beginner, how would you compare this to an LP? For someone who’s looking for their first dual humbucker, is this a good option compared to an LP? Particularly Artist’s own LP60/LP59.

Just subbed :)!! Do not waste your time - P-R-O-M-O-S-M !

A very in depth story... so many interesting facts.

I bought one of these last year and could not be more impressed with the value and I echo your well chosen comments. Not too heavy on the shoulder also. My guitar had some slight roughness inside the F hole which was easy to sort out. Overall, for versatility, playability and value, these guitars are one of the bargains of the last few years. They should make a lot of higher end and higher priced guitar makers look over their shoulders. I am not a brand snob and take things on merit. Wouldn't"t it be interesting to do a blindfolded review comparing the established names in a bang for buck scenario. Good luck with your new Channel.

Keep it up! 🤠

Great review. When your channel takes off, remember that I was your second subscriber.
