Artist Guitars

Has anybody here tried these?
There are some videos on yt but I don’t trust any of these guys :)
Most mentions I’ve come across seem like shills.

Would like to have a light, cheap guitar to mess around with (from what I’ve heard from the videos, I don’t like the pickups).

Get an old Mexican Fender because parts will fit it.
Even if the Artist is ok it probably won’t be a direct fit for much.,

I hear they don't sell to the US, probably because of "fees". Hopefully they can get a distributor here, I've heard good things about these guitars.

The freight would cost more than the guitar.

I just saw Cordy's vid on them last night or this morning and looked them up as well. I might be willing to risk the money for some of the specs I saw if I could actually get one in the states for what they go for overseas.

I wrote to them and they don’t ship to EU, weird since they do sell in UK.

Uk is no longer EU unfortunately.

I haven’t seen one yet. It definitely has potential as long as the dimensions are standard ( for parts ) . There’s nothing worse than trying to get a set of sd91 (tuners) on only to find the spacing is different. The relic finish although not to everyone’s taste means the finish is thin and the wood looks decent in that picture at least.

Lets hope that someboby in UK gets the itch and shares here what the instrument is like. If frets/neck and tuners are good, this would be a good one to have for pickup swap.

Also, watched the australian youtuber, intheblues demo. What’s up with the out of tune playing and not immediately going: “that sound shit”?
How can a guy have 250k subs and no ears?

Isn’t that what “feel” playing is?

I’m no soloist and have technique of a 12 year old but the amount of videos I’ve seen with clearly out of tune instruments is wild. Another on is timing, sooo many videos of guys rushing to get over the finish line.
