Top 5 Things to look for when buying an Electric Guitar

Top 5 Things to look for when buying an Electric Guitar

1. Machine heads - what is the quality like?
Big name brands usually can afford to get a few corners and use cheap covered machine heads on their budget ranges. At artist guitars we use diecast machine heads that are made from a precise mould for smoother, easier and more accurate tuning.

2. Pickups - Does it have a decent sound?
Your pickups are the most important thing to your sound. We use high quality Wilkinson pickups for a much better tone. I suggest you try listening to some of our audio samples.

3. Neck – is it comfortable?
We make our necks to feel comfortable and easy to play

4. Action – is it nice and low, setup from the factory?
All our guitars are set-up and ready to play, ensuring you have a great instrument right from the beginning

5. Price – Do you get good value for money?
When you buy a guitar from Artist Guitars you’re getting the maximum value for money. We back up all our guitars with a 12 month Warranty and 14 day money back guarantee. So you can be certain you’re getting the best possible value in Australia.

Do I need a brand name guitar?

It’s simple – brand name guitars have a brand that helps them sell – but do you want to buy a brand name or a better sounding, better playing guitar?

Now if your spending $1000’s of dollars to buy a guitar, brand may matter, but for your first guitar take a look at what we have to offer, listen to our audio demos and see why you get a much better guitar from us. Save your money and use it to buy more music equipment, like amplifiers and pedals.

Save money on your electric guitar – Buy from the Factory

When you buy a “brand” name guitar it’s usually already been sold 4 times.

1. Factory – Brand, 2. Brand to Australian Wholesaler, 3. Wholesaler to retailer, 4 Retailer to Customer. (No wonder you’re paying too much!)

(As far as we are aware there is no brand that makes their own guitars at anything under $1000 in the market at all)

Wouldn’t you rather buy direct and save on all of these costs?
