Artist LP59GT90 Electric Guitar Gold Top with P90 Style Pickup - Review by Peter Northcote

[@maitrikashin3906]

My wife hears me practising again after many years and is very supportive. She heard me watching Pete's review of the Artist Gold Top and said "That sounds nice! You should get one." It arrives in 2 days. Thanks Pete.

[@shobhachandra1975]

Wonderful supportive wife.

[@fredericonerkis3804]

It may be an ad for a guitar but listen to the solo, a masterclass demonstration by a master of his craft,.

[@willybio]

The Led Zep style stuff you played first .. AMAZING … it sounds so deep and soulful … is bloody BEAUTIFUL, you play amazingly… congrats

[@ZalMoxis]

Always good to hear someone that can really play reviewing guitars....

[@BrettKingman]

Killin' it, Pete! Woo!

[@mickthebandit]

I’ve just ordered one based on your video. Awesome playing ❤

[@scottlloydshelly2582]

Lovely guitars just got one after waiting 6-7 months of waiting in the UK . Supplies in this part of the world are very rare and infrequent. When there available buy them because the quality and specifications are fabulous got 4 now. With loads of patience got a Lp59tsb deluxe les Paul, ST62 Stratocaster in vintage White, TC59 Telecaster in natural ash gloss finish heavy as hell but lovely guitar, and just received my LP59GT90 les Paul style guitar fantastic specs and guitars these artist guitars Gibson Fender please take note.

Thank you so much for this feedback!

I keep coming back to this just for for the playing….

[@richardpalmer8478]

Been buying Artist gear since 2014. Bought the first all-white strat. Definitely getting this for Xmas. I;m in NZ, these tend to run out by the time you go to buy.

[@thesausage351]

I’ve bought 3 guitars from them and their quality and value for money is awesome. I bought from them because I’m a lefty and they have an awesome range and priced really well.

[@richardpalmer8478]

@@thesausage351, noice. I'm a lefty but I play right-hand.

[@thesausage351]

@@richardpalmer8478 ah ok. I ended up buying this gold top, plus their black LP and they’re a really nice thing, but I’m looking forward to the LP Jnr that’s being released at the end of the year.

[@richardpalmer8478]

@@thesausage351, how is the gold-top? I'm thinking of getting it. Sold my white strat years ago & most of my gear end of last year. Bought me the hybrid natural 5 string active/passive bass guitar and seafoam green electric guitar earlier this year. The gold top with P90s and acoustic electric classical guitar with solid cedar top will round of my new Artist collection nicely. Hopefully before the end of this year. Owned a bunch of strats (Fender, Squier, & Ibanez) in the past. Never owned an LP or SG type so hoping to add one (or both) of those to the collection.

[@thesausage351]

@@richardpalmer8478 I’m only a real beginner, but my take is firstly, after using a Tele, it’s really heavy. Mine actually had an issue with the pickup switch which they had no issues fixing, but I was contemplating putting in zebra SD’s and using my P90’s in my black LP Artist I have, but so far I haven’t done it, but, the look and the feel of the guitar is beautiful. It’s my favourite non-Tele guitar that I own. For the price point they’re a brilliant guitar.

[@shaybleakney9693]

Had a Gibson lp studio gold top Was an awful guitar nitro finish just fell off it Had to change mags in the pickups to get a decent sound out of it Now if I’d new about these artist models sooner I’d have snapped them all up Just ordered the les Paul cherry Your an awesome player by the way Great to have a decent guitarist review these instruments Could watch you playing all day 👏

[@Phatzo1000]

Reel nice playing on this demo Pete. It makes me want to buy one

[@thesausage351]

I’ve bought 3 guitars from you, as soon as you get these I’m buying one. I really don’t even like LP’s that much but for the price and the gear in it, I’m going to buy one. Hurry up and get stock!!!!

[@neww0lf611]

that intro play was mellow.

[@colinjonalynpartridge8432]

Great Review Pete!

[@bernhardnizynski4403]

Sounds and looks great!

[@Siminsings]

Whats the tone signal path? sick tone!

[@joeantolak4629]

Phenomenal tone

[@perthmike7]

Cool review, thanks 👍😎🎸

[@chrisadey7468]

This was so good I just had to order one!👌

[@dillonmartin9516]

Has it came in the mail yet? If so, how is it?

[@waxhead63]

Gotta say I have a Tokai ' Love Rock ' gold top with P90s' which is one of my favourites .. BUT .. I have to say this LP59 is possibly a little more versatile .. and the price .. well.. all I can say is if anyone wants to waste money buying " top end guitars " then go for it and waste your bucks ... May need to purchase one to add to my other 2 Artist axes in the stable .. nice playing and demo Peter 👍🙏

[@23RAD]

Have you tried a Les Paul from Vintage guitars? It seems like its a similar quality to Artist,almost identical at the first glance,like theese guitars coming from the same factory line but with a diferent brand haha

[@stormofyahuah2307]

I can't play anywhere near as well....but I want one!!

[@davidparkes7977]

Nice playing Bro

[@yblignomis]

What is the signal chain on this please? Loving that sound!!

[@fusionfan6883]

Yes I'd love to know too???

[@khaledmobarek4184]

The tone is amazing. What amp or software model are you using on that minor slow blues demo.

[@willybio]

Hey Peter … where did you get that back in track please ? Wanna try that riff … can you put it in the video description please ? Thanks

[@23RAD]

Is there a diference between Artist and Vintage (other company) les pauls? They seems like similar quality and price range guitars.

[@chayd8574]

great video , can someone tell me what that song is again at the beginning please.

[@MarkWilliams-me4nt]

Since I've been loving you. Led Zeppelin

[@paulhayward62]

Sounds great Pete. Your version of SIBLY sounds better than the original,

[@redrock1963]

My take away is that I want to learn "Since I've Been Loving You".

[@Pete_Harris]

very nice but never any stock in the UK.

[@DavidBrown-bc4fu]

Just got one. Wow it’s good !! P.S I have a Gibson too

[@Crabfather]

That sounds beautiful! How bad is the buzzing?

[@aidantod33]

Beautiful playing at the beginning there Peter. Great tones, wonder what you put it through? I have a nice Gibson, but don’t really want to bring it to gigs, so am expecting my one of these in the next couple of days. A Big Bang for the buck. Of course with shipping up the creek, it is 6 months wait, but hey……have a good day.

[@richardpalmer8478]

The Gibson's for hanging on the wall. You get the Artist version for gigging, lol!

[@jedmaisey3938]

Would you use it live ?

[@russeljones4692]

Hey/hi Peter How about you do a review on my favourite Artist guitar. The AG100 is one great machine. Apart from my Les Gib, Strat and Tele, the AG 100 is best.

[@Batapotamus]

I bought one of these and a Les Paul 59. I returned the Les Paul and kept the AG100 SG..It was playable out of the box with only a little tweaking.

[@TheCambella]

Hey Peter buddy pal, can you get real country tone from the NUX MG300?

[@philsequeira3180]

Will these LP models ever make it to the States?

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

Hello Phil. I am sorry to say that we will not be bringing in any of our LP style guitars into the US due to patent concerns.

[@philsequeira3180]

@@ArtistGuitarsDemo That’s unfortunate. I have a TC59 that I bought last year and it’s awesome. I’d love to be able to purchase one of these. Any back doors...?

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

@@philsequeira3180 The only means I can think of is if you have a friend or family in Australia where we can ship it to and in turn, they can ship it to you in the US. This is so that it will show that it is not a direct purchase going to the US.

[@backplomer]

I just got one, but unfortunately have to send it back, the frets ends below the high e string are bevelled way too much, causing the string to basically slip off the fretboard unless consciously bending or holding towards the b string , otherwise it feels and sounds great, I’m spewin😂but have received prompt efficient service in refund or replacement,

[@mikerichardson2177]

Thats Led Zeppelin. Since I've been loving you.

[@robhenry1999]

So, is that thru an AX8 or an AX3? If you give me your tone image you are using i will happily buy one if i can get that sound ( yeah i know its also in the fingers but my fingers go ok ) ...

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

Hello Rob. I am so sorry but we are not sure what his setup was when he recorded this review but it should be possible to ask him through his Facebook page stated above.

[@BeamRider100]

I've seen Peter quite a few times and follow on FB. He upgraded from AX8 floor unit to the AXE-FX III (with FC12) about 3 years ago.

[@jimmywrangles]

I have one of these, It's a heavy guitar. Plays ok though.

[@realmusic4you]

Buyers beware, as the website has contact phone and live chat, however, no one answers the phone and the chat button does not work!

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

Hi there, we cant see any messages from you, would you mind giving us a call or messaging us? cheers!~

[@maitrikashin3906]

I sent them an email enquiry and "Harry" got back to me straight away with helpful info. You're not going to get live play positive KZbin reviews from Pete (or Shane from intheblues)... unless these guitars are kosha. I've just ordered mine.

[@joeantolak4629]

That’s what I expect a les Paul to sound like

[@salty2667]

Don’t hurt yourself… sounds sweet…

[@freeelectron8261]

The guitar maybe a gold top, but Peter has golden fingers!

[@650thunderbird]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@AnnemarieStanton]

Now thats a good clone of a les paul

[@philheath9854]

I found these LP's are really heavy....

[@MrBubbazoo]

Who knew that having worn out knees in ya pants was back in fashion. I had holes in my knees as a lad because we was poor. And I thought only women were so afflicted with this issue. Anyhow you can make that guitar sound like a gem. The hum seems excessive. Is it more noisy than other guitars in your environment?

[@Jellybeantiger]

These guitars are junk.Mine was faulty When I received it,took it to a shop to repair the wiring and broken pickup and they told me not to bother as they have had alot of broken Artist guitars go to their doors. Obviously these blokes on you tube get a free guitar for giving it a good review.I know how the World works.

[@maitrikashin3906]

Top class musicians ain't gonna sell their cred for a cheap guitar. Wise up.
