Artist AS1 Electric Guitar w/ HSS Pickups, Accessories & Amp

If you're someone who wants to play a bit of metal like Pantera, Van Halen or Metallica, but then wants to play rock like Arctic Monkeys or Cold Play, and then wants also to do a bit of Jimi Hendrix... basically, you're looking for a guitar that can do a bit of everything, then this electric guitar is the right choice for you.

This guitar gives you a clean sound as well as much distortion as you can handle from your amp or effect pedals without any extra unwanted noise and squeals.

The AS1 electric guitar is a great way to be introduced into the world of rock, funk and blues as it is a beginner's copy of a classic guitar that has done countless albums, tours and made many a guitar icon. The contoured body provides great comfort in playing which has made this type of guitar a favourite with many players.

It has a tremolo bridge that is not floating or lock tuning like a Floyd Rose, but rather it is designed for a small amount of vibrato so locking nuts are not necessary. Great Quality and Wilkinson Pickups make this guitar a step above the rest. This is a real musical instrument not a toy, designed by our local luthiers and players. We also sell these as a package with an amplifier if you need.

This is a full-size guitar perfect for Adults, recommended for children over the age of 12 (or younger if your child is strong and taller than 1.2m)

It includes all accessories you need to get started:

  • AS1 Electric Guitar
  • Electronic Guitar Tuner
  • Strap
  • Bag
  • Lead
  • Picks

Some of this guitar's great features

It has an Eco-rosewood fingerboard and maple neck, a 2-way truss rod (which means you can adjust the neck up or down)

Wilkinson pickups (ceramic) mean you will get a much better sound than a "standard" pickup. The AS1 comes with a Humbucker and 2 single-coil pickups. This gives you more versatility in the styles you can play. Humbucker pickups allow you to produce better distorted tones.

It has a classic bridge (so you can do classic style tremolo and string bends) & die-cast machine heads that will help you stay in tune longer and make your tuning easier.

We include a range of support materials from how to tune, how to read tab, basic chord shapes and more.

Artist GA10X 10 Watt Guitar Practice Amplifier with MP3 input

This is a great sounding 10 Watt guitar amp, perfect for practising at home or jamming with friends!

Features include selectable channels, clean and distortion with a 3-band EQ. The Clean channel provides a crystal clear sound for country and jazz tones, whilst the distortion channel provides everything from a light smooth break up for blues through to crushing Heavy Metal and Hardcore tones for those palm muted chunky rhythms and searing solos! This is the perfect amp for those just starting out on electric guitar and is a great platform to experiment with achieving different guitar tones, whether that be through pedals or simply your guitar controls, you can't go wrong with the GA10X.

It also has a headphone socket so you can play along without waking the neighbours, and MP3 input.

The Tech Features

Model: GA10X

Power: 10W RMS

Speaker Size: 6 inch

GA10X Front Panel Functions:

Input - This is the 1/4 inch guitar jack input.

Volume - Controls the volume level of both Clean and Overdrive channels.

Drive Select - This is a Channel Switch that selects between Clean Channel, or Overdrive Channel.

Gain - Controls the gain level for the OverDrive channel only. As the amount of gain increases so will the Overdrive/distortion level in your sound. Use moderate levels for Blues and light rock, and maximum gain for Hard Rock and Heavy Metal styles.

Treble - Controls the high frequency of the guitar tone, making your guitar sound brighter when increased.

Middle - Dictates the middle frequency of the amplifier. Turning this up will make your guitar sound fatter, ideal for Blues and Punk. Conversely reducing the amount of middle in your tone will result in a sharper and thinner guitar sound for the classic scooped Heavy Metal tone.

Bass - Controls the amount of low frequency or bottom end in your tone. The more you increase, the more punch you will add. If your sound sounds too muddy then decrease this control to Tighten your sound.

Mini Jack AUX input - 3.5mm input to plug in your favourite MP3 player

Mini Jack Headphone Jack - 3.5 mm input to plug your headphones in for silent practice

Power Switch - On / Off Switch for mains power to the amplifier.

Great cheap beginner electric guitar

By: on 28 August 2024
You really get your moneys worth from this guitar package; for the price that you pay, the quality of the guitar is really good. But then again this is a cheap guitar so don't expect it to exceed other well known brands out there, but if you're wanting to get into electic guitar with not much money in your pockets yet as a teenage, I would recommend this.

Electric guitar

By: on 30 April 2024
Overall the guitar looks awesome, it came with an amp and tuner, although it's missing the strap, picks and also the cord to the amp. Would've given a 5 if I got all the accessories in the picture.

Overall a great product for the price

By: on 3 March 2024
This is a great guitar and amp for the price. Sounds and feels fantastic; much better than what you could get for the price elsewhere. My only complaint is that my guitar was delivered with the spring claw not securely attached which resulted in uneven tension across the bridge springs, which then in turn resulted in one of my strings breaking after an attempt at tuning before I had discovered the issue. I had to fix it by unscrewing the back cover and carefully pushing the spring claw into its proper place, and then of course restringing the broken E string. A little annoying but I don't regret my purchase as the guitar sounded great afterwards.

Great guitar at a great price

By: on 10 January 2024
This guitar is exactly what I was looking for, for a price matched by no other. It feels professional and sounds great. The accessories the pack comes with are great, including a loud and compact amp, a couple great picks and a tuner which works great. Will definitely be buying from Artist again, great service, communication, speed and product.

Great guitar, well worth the price tag

By: on 3 January 2024
I think that these guitars are some of the best entry-level guitars available, they perform well and are very affordable relative to other guitars! The amp also works great and has an awesome distortion channel, you can play a wide range of different genres and achieve most things with it! Would definitely recommend.

Great product

By: on 8 October 2023
I have been playing acoustic for a year now and I finally felt that I had enough skill to pick up an electric. It is so easy to play and barre chords are so much easier to do. The amp and guitar are very good and I can almost get any tone that I want.

Very happy with the purchase. The build quality and finish of the guitar is flawless. The Amp is compact and works great. The setup was great out of the box. You can't find a better value for money in NZ. Shipment was prompt and arrived within the estimated timeframe.

Happy customer, great products!

By: on 23 January 2023
I am really happy with this guitar and amp package. The guitar sounds great and stays in tune and the practice amp has great volume which was a surprise. I'm really impressed by the overall value of this low cost package. On a customer service level, Artist Guitars is excellent. My amp arrived damaged by the courier and after a call to their customer service team a replacement was sent out without any hassle. It arrived with out any issues. My only feedback about the amp was the lack of packaging inside the box to protect it from any rough handling by the couriers. The guitar was packaged well and arrived without a scratch.
