The Artist AP97 is a top-of-the-line guitar in a timeless single-cutaway shape, with premium features and finish, and a chambered body. If you're looking for a great rock and blues guitar, this AP97 is perfect; fluid, fat tones with endless sustain.
It features a Honey Burst finish over a two-piece 5A-grade tiger veneer, on a carved Maple top with a solid African Mahogany back. The body of this guitar has been chambered, so there are hidden cavities cut into the Mahogany, beneath the Maple top. This significantly reduces the weight of this guitar, a style known for being quite heavy, and increases the sustain and resonance of the wood.
The Mahogany set neck has a single-ply cream binding, with a high-grade Eco-Rosewood fretboard, Trapezoid Mother of Pearl Inlays, 22 frets in a 24.75"" scale length, and a comfortable C-shape radius. The deluxe hardware includes a lock-down-post Tune-O-Matic Bridge with brass saddles, aluminium Stop-Bar tailpiece and Chrome locking tuners.
The AP97 features our very own Bullbucker humbucking pickups, which include coil-splitting capability to give you ultimate control over your tonal options! These are known for their smooth, 'flute-like' neck tones, and the bridge pickup can push an amp into that perfect breakup we all love.
We also use the best electronic parts and braided wiring, with 2 Volume push/pull knobs for coil splitting, 2 Tone Controls, 3 Way Toggle Switch, Japanese Split Brass Shaft 500K Pots, and 0.022uF 400V ceramic capacitors.
This comes strung from the factory with D'Addario EXL110 strings.
