- $179 well spent! Heavy son of gun but I have a plan for that. Stays in tune and sound every bit as good as my real tele when split. As a humbucker guitar it absolutely BARKS!
Great work mate! My only complaint with these was the weight but otherwise, they sound and feel great. Nice video :)
Thanks Shane, being a stand up player I couldn’t deal with the weight either. Ended up selling it for what I paid... passed on the good deal. My buddy at work just got one, really nice feeling guitar. Artist now offers a thin-line but I don’t really have room for more stuff. Love your channel - you’ve never made a disparaging remark about anyone and I really respect that. Cheers!
@@oldguyjammin9732 when you and Shane cross swords / paths that's something else. Shane is my favourite Leftie.
@@thatpodcastchap - yep, that was a nice moment :-) I've always liked him, super nice and a never a mean word. I'll check out those Holland Guitars - thanks!!
Love seeing your comments on other posts Shane. I agree, most Artist guitars seem very well built but definitely heavier than the guitar they 'copy'. Great review old guy 😊
I have one. Beautiful guitar. Australian company and design and manufactured in Indonesia. Only thing I can fault (and it’s not really a fault) is its incredibly heavy weight. But all in all I think that for 170 American dollars it’s better than most guitars I’ve ever played. Artist are a very impressive company. I’m lucky that their Sydney shop is only a ten minute drive from me so I picked it up right away. Love it.
Chinese
Picked up the same guitar from cash converters. Beautiful guitar, better than Fender. ❤️🎸.
Very Cool, Thankyou. Awesome Demo/Review, and awesome playing. I have now had my Artist Guitars TC59 for 3 years also, since choosing this guitar as my re-entry to Electric Guitar after years of only playing acoustic for years. WOW, was so Impressed with everything about dealing with Artist Guitars. The Build Quality, Finish and Playability was all outstanding and exceeded my expectations big time. I now own a few Artist Guitars and all are the same exceptional quality and just a pleasure to play and Customer Service has been outstanding. All the best. Cheers.
I got one of these in August 2021 and I've played it almost every day since, it's a great guitar
Read the reviews and was curious how they felt. Couldn’t believe it but two nights ago someone I know pulled one out to play. Damn impressive guitar. The neck is beautiful with rolled edges and perfect thickness for what I like. We passed it around and we were all impressed with the quality. Unfortunately I don’t need another guitar or I’d grab one.
Hi there,, What is the neck size? Modern thin C, V or U neck, chunky? Or a shredders neck super thin. Any information appreciated Tony
@@anteburazin69 it's a C neck. I think a 14 radius. It is not glazed and It is a bolt on neck.
String through body, 4+ kilogrammes and total weight...!
It's not quite a satin finish on the back of neck , but close enough
@@tonymeman9041 Tks man 👍👍
Cool. It's not far to ship from Australia to New Zealand, and because of the neck spray I will call it a Trumpocaster.
Liz Windsor - lmao, wish I had thought of Trumpocaster :) Super fun guitar, ENJOY!
I've got one beautiful guitar I actually ordered another one like that natural finish for my friend ....well done
thanks mate! Great guitars and how nice of you!!! Wanna be friends!?!? ;-)
You've definately Trumped with that one there , dude.. lol
I like mine alot, feels like usa std to hold, but a bit heavier..
Flawless construction , plays balanced , needs better tone pots, great dynamics.. a tele snap is all in the fingers..
The neck?? Is it modern day slim C ? Or does it have some meat to it?? V or D neck? Any information appreciated guys. Looking for the thick type neck, nothing thin .
I’d call it a D - it’s heavy though, if you’re a ‘sit down player’ no worries.
I've bought one too. Very impressed
yep, great guitar
@@oldguyjammin9732 I'm not too worried about the weight, I might also get the new TC93 the new one with the Alnico single coil in the bridge. However you should check out Fazeley Guitars by BAX in Holland they have some fantastic Teles with maple necks, Graphtech nut, Coyote are string thru the others through bridge. They just released one with a P90 in the neck and it's on my to buy list.
Tbe weight doesnt bother me much, i am used to lespauls n fender basses, the light Ash is southern states usa , the heavier ash is usually northern us or canadian, this tele must have northern ash like alot of 70s fenders, this tele has a canadian maple neck ..
Heck I have so many guitars including 2 Artists 335 s - they are amazing for the price. Now this on special arghh
its heavy!
Have you had a chance to try the Fender tel affinity ? if yes, is Fender noticeably better ?
Mat R - I have not tried the Fender Affinity. Imo there are much better instruments out there for the money. Artist, Wolf, Harley Benton, Schecter, Vintage... take your pick :)
@@oldguyjammin9732 i meant the Affinity Squire sorry ! slightly more expensive than this artist one:)
I'm new to your channel.. Thanks For Sharing 🎸 🎶
Well Welcome Aboard!! You're welcome...
Just got one it’s pretty good
Mine is due to arrive early next week. I think I'll name it Donald.
You mean of course “THE Donald” - that’s pretty funny, but I think they fixed the ‘too orange’ issue... guess we’ll see next week. Super fun guitar \m/
Great sound, nice feels playing with it....my main complaint is the TC59 was the weight....like tons over your soulder..
Exactly!
@@oldguyjammin9732 I believe that the latest ones are lighter.❤️🎸.
i keep on loving your videos ... greetings from the fictional entity called " the netherlands"
Bartholomeus Clever - Gracias Netherlandian! Thanks for hearts \m/
I checked the notification thing for Artist when they came back in and was never notified!! Oh well!! You Rock Dude!!
Timidater - I wasn’t notified either, was just up really early one morning on account of the migraines I get once in a while, like 1:30 or 2 AM and BAM!! Scored one, lol.
@@oldguyjammin9732 Awesome!!!!!
Usually they are good for notifications... I have received all mine...
I bought the ts15h head from watching your videos and it hums quite a bit. Is yours dead silent? Maybe I got a bad one? Thanks in advance! Love your vids!
Brian Olias - hey Brian, yep mine is dead quiet and I’m using pedals through the front as well as a couple through the fx loop. Does it hum even with the guitar cord pulled out of the front jack and nothing in the fx loop, just the speaker hooked up? Humming is also a bit different than ‘bad tube’ sounds. A bad tube can sound like popcorn or even distant whirl winds. Try plugging it into a different wall plug and/or turn surrounding lights and fans on and off while its humming too. I’ve even canceled hums before by using a different power cord...?
Hopefully you can make an easy exchange if you don’t find the cause. Thanks for the support!
Oldguyjammin . I’ll try those things. I got it used from gc. Thank you very much OGJ!
Nice...just ordered one!!
How does it hold up a year later? Are you an accomplished player or somewhere in from new and intermediate? Asking, because this would affect the way the guitar holds up. Is it a regular guitar for you to play?
Thinking of getting one on Monday
@@tonymeman9041 *How does it hold up a year later? @Really good. *Are you an accomplished player or somewhere in from new and intermediate? @40 yrs playing. I'm not Clapton!! Multi instrumentalists....mainly acoustic, but record electric rhythm and lead lines. *Asking, because this would affect the way the guitar holds up. @I look after my gear....don't thrash it onstage or in studio.... this gat feel well made and has a lot off options. Thinking of selling my Fender as I am scaling down.... but would keep the Artist as it is not alot of $$ invested for a great return. *Is it a regular guitar for you to play? @on average 1 x week.... for 1 hour. On stage 1 x month for 30 mins (switvh guitars at gigs). Video link to it being used. th-cam.com/video/_iByZa8ii0A/w-d-xo.html
@@Soccernz007 thanks!
I'm big on low $$ for good return. I bought a silver sparkle ibanez art120 for that same reason. Good playing for low $!
Your mention on the artist tc59 is a help for me, thanks again!
@@Soccernz007 I ended up buying one! I am quite impressed. $200 AUD nearly mint condition second hand . Love it!
Nice review dude 😎
Thanks man \m/
These have Bullbucker pickups, rather than Ballbucker ones (".)
Cool, thanks for clarifying!
Great Tele for the money 👍
Nice Job - keep it up!
TONES at 7:30 \m/
BULL Bucker.
Hey mate, great choice. I live near Artist Guitars here in Sydney and they've taken really good care of me and a couple of my students who use the Artist Grungemaster and a few other items bought through Artist. Most of my cables, many pedals, and one guitar (Affinity Tele) have all come from Artist.
I'm seriously considering heading down there after this Corona craziness is somewhat abated and picking up the Artist Tweedtone 20W combo to replace one of my other combos and this Tele to replace my Schecter Tele Deluxe "Fastback Special 2" which plays great, but the pups are horribly mismatched. Could easily sell the Schecter and my Blues Junior, grab the Artist guitar & amp, and pocket the $ difference.
I may not be a Trump supporter (I would have voted for him over Clinton tho), but I too love what he's done for your country - he's made a *serious* working-class leftist movement a really existing thing in the US of A. Sanders may be out, but the left is (hopefully) back on track after decades of kowtowing to capital and big business ;)
Is that the new OCD V2 or an older version? Sounds great.
EDIT: looks like the OCD Ge but my eyesight is terrible. That looks blue to me tho! Cool pedal.
Looks like Trump 😂😂😂
So glad you weren’t offended, lol
Probably do well to keep your opinions to yourself and just stick to the subject at hand!
ruby kaufman - I live in America dude where we are allowed to have personal ideas/opinions and even share them publicly. Not sure what I said to upset you so but “people gettin’ all pissed at everything” seems to be the norm these days so you’re in good company... don’t feel too bad.
@@oldguyjammin9732 I am no more a Dude then you are a guitar player, so don't quit your daytime job old man!
Ben Carpenter - good to hear \m/
@Ben Carpenter No ben ...i HATE trumps fascist guts .....you cant holla "freedom ," to say what you want ....without it cutting both ways .....No ....we dont love trump in oz ..
Michael Seymour ^ yup We don’t necessarily hate him per se but he’s a laughing stock here, I can’t think of many Australians who take him seriously. Even conservative Australians find him stupid and funny.
