zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Mahogany body with a spalted maple top. Gibralter III bridge and LoZ pickups.

For over 30 years, the classic Artist design has provided a real, high quality alternative to "the other famous mahogany double humbucker." The more recent ARX and ART single cutaway offer new, striking finishes, active pickups and more modern variations on the set-neck Artist theme at unprecedented low prices.

New for 2009: The ART420HAM, featuring an exquisite Honey Amber finish, Mahogany body/Spalted Maple top, Gibraltar III bridge and active LoZ pickups for massive saturation.

Unblemished instrument with a meaty neck and a thin body. The maple top on my guitar is unbelievable, it has symmetrical grain patterns on either side of the maple top. Mine looks so much better than the guitar in the photo. The guitar just rips, the pickups are loud and really help break the amp up so it is easy to get a smooth distortion. For clean sounds just drop the volume on the guitar down to 6.
Sound
The two pickups are unusual, they are quite loud and sound a little distorted.
