Product Description

Artist AS72 15th Anniversary Obsidian Electric Guitar

The above image is a mock-up that will be replaced with actual images as soon as possible.

We're turning 15! We've certainly come a long way from our humble beginnings producing a small range of electric guitars all those years ago! To celebrate, we're bringing you a range of pro-spec instruments at prices that defy belief - just as we've been doing for the last 15 years...

We introduced the Artist AS72 earlier in the year to vigorous demand for more, so it's only right we continue our anniversary range with a very special edition of this belter of a guitar! Featuring the hand-wound Laohao pickups you know and love, the AS72 produces a clear, bell-like high-end and throaty mid-range with plenty of bite, and compresses beautifully to produce rich harmonic distortion tones when pushed. Positions 2 and 4 yield that familiar, out-of-phase strat-style "quack", but if you're ready for more grit, the high-output bridge humbucker is capable of anything from 70s-style classic lead tones to modern, tight chugging - if that's your cup of tea!

The Artist AS72 features a C-shaped quartersawn roasted maple neck, rosewood fretboard, and 22 stainless-steel frets. At a 14-inch radius, this is an ergonomic, lightning-quick neck perfect for the virtuosos amongst you! High-grade, 19:1 ratio locking tuners and a 42mm bone nut ensure your tuning remains incredibly stable, while the included strap locks ensure you can headbang to your heart's content, safe in the knowledge that the limited edition black-and-white Obsidian finish remains unsullied by the rigours of the road! Like the rest of our range, the 15th Anniversary edition of the Artist AS72 has been painstakingly designed to perfectly balance professional quality with our famous affordability - the same ethos that has carried us since our first guitar rolled off the line all those years ago.

Whether you've been with us since the beginning, or you've come in late, we can't thank you enough for supporting us in delivering quality instruments at an affordable price. Here's to another 15 years, and many more!
