For all the.people commenting about the colour... This does look very orange on the video. The guitars are actually more Bronze than Gold, though the new batch of right-handed ones have been changed to a more gold looking colour. The lefties will still be from the older batch that do look nice, but are definitely a Bronze/Metallic Orange rather than gold.
I rather like that sort of burnt orange colour. There was a trend in cars with that colour not too long ago, which I didn't mind. Makes a nice change from just gold!
I always get a kick out of you saying stuff like "If you're a right handed player you can still get one of these" as if that was ever in question. And even if there was a guitar that only came in left handed, almost all of my guitars are right handed ones that I restrung left handed because actual left handed guitars are so hard to find so I wouldn't feel bad if they had to do something like that for once.
As a lefty in Canada, gettinga lefty gold top LP style with P90s is crazy expensive. I asked Artist about whether or not they are going to stock their American site with these. No luck thus far, but maybe in 2025. Gotta love affordable and superb guitars like this!
Sire Larry Carlton L7V might be an option? Available in Lefty Goldtop with p90s ,and looks "very" similar to this Artist? Always a chance you can find a deal or keep scouring the usual listings for one someone is moving on. Good luck, as a lefty it can be a battle sometimes. I'm lucky to have a couple of good brands, but also a budget Harley Benton DC-junior FAT. Great spec (single stacked P90)and plays wonderfully.
Stacked P90s are awesome! I have the HB DC Jr FAT with a stacked P90. The tones are immense! The punk/grunge tone when unstacked, is awesome! Great video Shane!
I like the orange. It's an attractive guitar. I like that the headstock is a nod to Gibson without it being a direct copy. So, no problems with U.S. customs. I've inquired with Artist before in regards to their amps. It's doable, but from what I've been able to gather, it's not cost effective. I'm not a fan of P90's, but I really like the sound of those ones in stacked mode. Cool video, Shane! I'll keep an eye on the used market and also look further into whether we can get 'em shipped to the U.S. for a decent price. Of course, I'm planning on taking a vacation to Australia, New Zealand and Japan in a couple of years. So hmmmm.....
Now that's a NICE axe! Good work on those pick ups too. Many don't get the sound right on the stacked P90 types & they just sound LIKE a normal (PAF style) hum bucker! These at least still have the sc body, just a bit thicker sounding! Nice job!
I was wondering when someone was going to do this. From this demo, I find they sound more like single coils than P90s though. I take that back, later in the demo, I’m definitely hearing P90s.
Artist guitars are great - I had a Strat Style for a while but let it go when I got a real Fender but back to stacked coils - my Vintage Les Paul Goldtop has a rather sharp tone so I am thinking of putting Epiphone P 90 units in it . Cheers Shane.
Great rocky jam track, Shane. Artist certainly appear to have "orangified" the gold tops on these. Your last one a few years back was a far bit closer to a conventional gold top. Mind you, this isn't necessarily a bad thing if you want something different. I came close to buying one back then, but now have too many guitars and am trying to slim the numbers down! Thanks. Speed knobs might make the coil taps easier to engage. I don't know of too many that offer fret nibs at this sort of price, for what that's worth.
Great review. Great guitar. On their website this guitar appears more “yellow” gold top than this video indeed it is ORANGE .. great colour, but it ain’t gold top
My newest Agile has a single stacked P90/P100. That guitar with that PUP has taught me more about getting varied tones out of my hands than anything else. The cool thing is that a lot of what I've found I can do with that guitar and PUP are now transferrable to my other guitars. Who knew something as simple as a different guitar PUP configuration would make such an impact? I'd been told Artist has lefty options I should check out but their USA site still shows nothing available. Bummer really.
Sounds good to me - looks fantastic 🙂I think I need one I don't have a P90 guitar yet and I just got a Peavey Stereo chorus 2x12 270w of Peavey Goodness it is like 2 bandits rigged like siamese twins - Jeepers - lots of fun - test it through that?
Will Artist ever put stacked P90's into another colour of LP or junior style LP? I really don't want another gold top but I'm interested in an Artist LP style guitar.
What would you say is the catch with these guitars? Seems too good to be true that for $300-600 one could get electric guitars that not only rival Epiphone or Squier, but the proper Fender or Gibson models as well. What are the biggest drawbacks to the Artist brand vs the others that you habe experienced? Are there any?
Availability. Limited volume, limited distribution. And scalpers seems to like buying them all up til stock is exhausted then reselling at higher prices. But if they're available in your country, and in-stock direct, there aren't many big drawbacks.
To all the ones commenting that it looks orange... Could it be colour correction? Cuz if you look carefully, Shane hinself looks kinda more pinkish/reddish than usual. But maybe I'm wrong.
I own a a Gibson Les Paul Junior Special 2001, it came with P-100s. They never got the love although they had a great P90 noiseless sound. Still have it and love it! Ever old is new again!
Looks the same as LP model from Eko. Same color, pickups and cutaway. Those are different wood. There is another brand wich looks the same too. Must be made in the same factory.
Hi Shane do you know if they sell those guitars in Canada! I watch few of your videos about those guitars and from what I heard they are great for there value. Has usual great video again, if feel free to contact me or get in touch thanks. Gino

It's a awesome guitar ! Really sweet instrument. 😊 Blues On....💙

You'd be surprised how many people ask in the comments if they can get it in a righty! haha
That is not a gold top….more like a carrot top
It looks metallic orange to me too. I thought it was cool though.
🤣 Yep!
Creamsicle
I was thinking pumpkin top, but carrot top works too 😂
Duracell copper top
Great vid Shane! The stacked P90’s sound really good! Love the color!!! 🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸
I got a P90 SG those sound pretty convincing for humbuckers.
I've got one of these and I love it. My brother saw it and bought one too. LOL
Pretty guitar and damn it sounds fine. LOVE P90s.

I bought the LP59 TRB DELUXE from Artist Guitar's. Ive had it for just under a year now with no complaints.
Great sounding and affordable.
Nice!!! I like the color and the P90s rock!!!🎸 🎸🎸🎸😎🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Watching these video's give me gas. 🤣😂🤣
@ 😂😂🤣
Killer Intro!!!!! You are getting better!!!

Excellent Jam @ the begining!
This Guitar sounds awesome- Might be a good for a good Budget guitar
I must have bought and sold ten LP style guitars over the past few years. Just can't bond with them for long.
I own 6 Artist Guitars , including there top priced acoustic , all are awesome .. Great review thanks..
I got one co of your review, last year . Incredible guitar
Now that's a NICE axe! Good work on those pick ups too. Many don't get the sound right on the stacked P90 types & they just sound LIKE a normal (PAF style) hum bucker! These at least still have the sc body, just a bit thicker sounding!
Nice job!
Duracell, copper top over black
I have a single stacked dog ear P-90 in my Di Pinto Jr style guitar. All the great P-90 tones without the feedback.
I was wondering when someone was going to do this. From this demo, I find they sound more like single coils than P90s though. I take that back, later in the demo, I’m definitely hearing P90s.
That guitar looks more orange top than gold top!

Cool pickup design. Apparently I need a new guitar now.
Another great video! Thanks Shane

Is there any way to find these in Canada or US?
Sounds good to me - looks fantastic 🙂I think I need one I don't have a P90 guitar yet and I just got a
Peavey Stereo chorus 2x12 270w of Peavey Goodness
it is like 2 bandits rigged like siamese twins - Jeepers - lots of fun - test it through that?
Great jam track.
Always a pleasure to see a lovely LP being played in the “proper” direction….lefties!!!!!
Does it look gold in person?
It looks decidedly orange in the video.
Will Artist ever put stacked P90's into another colour of LP or junior style LP? I really don't want another gold top but I'm interested in an Artist LP style guitar.
I see them here and there, but I am asking "why?" 😊

Thank you @paulcooksstuff!
To all the ones commenting that it looks orange... Could it be colour correction? Cuz if you look carefully, Shane hinself looks kinda more pinkish/reddish than usual. But maybe I'm wrong.
Looks very orange? 🍊
Annoying Orange!
Is this a rerelease of this video? Didn't you review this artist gold top with stacked p90's like 3 years ago?
Dangelico Bob Wei
Aren't stacked P90s called P100s?
I own a a Gibson Les Paul Junior Special 2001, it came with P-100s. They never got the love although they had a great P90 noiseless sound. Still have it and love it! Ever old is new again!
I wish Artist Guitars utilized JJ'S pickups in some of their guitars. That would be the Cats Ass. ¡¥¡
👍🏻👍🏻
Shane's latency is gold top..
That just sounds freakin’ awesome, stacked & not
Bthat headstock looks like a fazley, probably the same factory
Please import them in the USA 🇺🇸
Looks the same as LP model from Eko. Same color, pickups and cutaway. Those are different wood. There is another brand wich looks the same too.
Must be made in the same factory.
Weir
It's nice - but i've sworn off Chinese-made guitars.
Hi Shane do you know if they sell those guitars in Canada! I watch few of your videos about those guitars and from what I heard they are great for there value. Has usual great video again, if feel free to contact me or get in touch thanks. Gino
