Artist LP59 Review: Stacked P90s! Where have they been Hiding!

For all the.people commenting about the colour... This does look very orange on the video. The guitars are actually more Bronze than Gold, though the new batch of right-handed ones have been changed to a more gold looking colour. The lefties will still be from the older batch that do look nice, but are definitely a Bronze/Metallic Orange rather than gold.

Looks like Artist UK have pretty much stopped all left handed models.

there is no LP59 Stacked P90s i am looking and nothing

Weight is over 10 lbs, which is absurd!!!

That weight is over 10 lbs, that's absurd!!!

that opening tune is sick -what is it shane .....very trower / allman esq

One of many beautiful LH Artist guitars that are only available in Oz and not NZ.

I'm now across the ditch in NZ. I bought a gold top (yes, it's gold). Your one looks like the apricot burst finish.
Artist got it to me here in 2 days. Beautiful action. Flawless build and set-up out of the box. Holds tune. Lovely tones through a 65watt Laney with BD2 in front.
Just ordered a VOX valvetronix (valve pre amp) VT40X with the Footswitch for it.
Awesome guitar.

Artist guitar

Hey this is great! Does Artist Guitars ship to the US?

Sounds great on all the settings. I've always liked the way P90s, and being able to get them with a noiseless option is awesome!

Great video, as always Shane, nice work. I'm about to do a straight swap of a Gibson LP Special for a Junior

10 lbs? That made me stop listening.

I Like the Ever-living Fukkkk out of that!

I like all of your Videos Bro'

Thanks Shane, how do Artist shape up against Squire Affinity range which seem to be in a similar price range? It would be nice to see a comparison video.

Sounds good Shane…nice demo. Do you get to keep this one?

Vintage guitars have had models with stacked P90s for many years, including a goldtop LP.

I had my eye on an Artist Guitars Grungemaster for punk rockin' but the stacked P90s on this puppy have me thinking this guitar could be the more versatile option that can sound like a Grungemaster in the split-coil positions but also fatten-up in the stacked position. Would that be a fair assessment or am I missing something here? Also, what's the balance of the guitar like? Does it want to dive head-first like Les Pauls do? Thanks for the video. Bless ya bruv!

The 'on' is clockwise / anticlockwise variation is a bugger! I'm a lefty too, my first 'real' guitar was a 70s Japanese Les Paul copy,, so I got used to 'louder' being exactly the same as louder is on any other device - amps, radios, cooker dials, pretty much all use 'clockwise = more'. Seemed to make sense to me, nothing else was reversed for a lefty, or at least nothing I'd come across. So to me this Artist (and Fenders and PRSs and ESPs - heh) are all backwards!

Thanks for the review @intheblues. I am in the market for a new guitar. Would you prefer this guitar over an Epiphone LP Classic?

How heavy is it, Shane? Great review, by the way - as usual!

I have an artist lp59gt a really good guitar great tones great value good as my other guitars which are $1000+

Interesting definition of the word 'gold'.

Sounds good to me - looks fantastic 🙂I think I need one I don't have a P90 guitar yet and I just got a
Peavey Stereo chorus 2x12 270w of Peavey Goodness
it is like 2 bandits rigged like siamese twins - Jeepers - lots of fun - test it through that?

I got one co of your review, last year . Incredible guitar

It's a awesome guitar ! Really sweet instrument. 😊 Blues On....💙

I've got one of these and I love it. My brother saw it and bought one too. LOL

My newest Agile has a single stacked P90/P100. That guitar with that PUP has taught me more about getting varied tones out of my hands than anything else. The cool thing is that a lot of what I've found I can do with that guitar and PUP are now transferrable to my other guitars. Who knew something as simple as a different guitar PUP configuration would make such an impact? I'd been told Artist has lefty options I should check out but their USA site still shows nothing available. Bummer really.

Fret nibs on a sub AU$500 guitar? Impressive... or just slave labour I guess! Does Epiphone even do that?

Aren't stacked P90s called P100s?

Duracell, copper top over black

Nice!!! I like the color and the P90s rock!!!🎸 🎸🎸🎸😎🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

Does it look gold in person?

It looks decidedly orange in the video.

I was wondering when someone was going to do this. From this demo, I find they sound more like single coils than P90s though. I take that back, later in the demo, I’m definitely hearing P90s.

👍🏻👍🏻

Please import them in the USA 🇺🇸

Always a pleasure to see a lovely LP being played in the “proper” direction….lefties!!!!!

Pretty guitar and damn it sounds fine. LOVE P90s.

Looks the same as LP model from Eko. Same color, pickups and cutaway. Those are different wood. There is another brand wich looks the same too.
Must be made in the same factory.

I have a single stacked dog ear P-90 in my Di Pinto Jr style guitar. All the great P-90 tones without the feedback.

Cool pickup design. Apparently I need a new guitar now.

I wish Artist Guitars utilized JJ'S pickups in some of their guitars. That would be the Cats Ass. ¡¥¡

Will Artist ever put stacked P90's into another colour of LP or junior style LP? I really don't want another gold top but I'm interested in an Artist LP style guitar.

Another great video! Thanks Shane

Great jam track.

Hi Shane do you know if they sell those guitars in Canada! I watch few of your videos about those guitars and from what I heard they are great for there value. Has usual great video again, if feel free to contact me or get in touch thanks. Gino

Great vid Shane! The stacked P90’s sound really good! Love the color!!! 🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸

That just sounds freakin’ awesome, stacked & not

I always get a kick out of you saying stuff like "If you're a right handed player you can still get one of these" as if that was ever in question. And even if there was a guitar that only came in left handed, almost all of my guitars are right handed ones that I restrung left handed because actual left handed guitars are so hard to find so I wouldn't feel bad if they had to do something like that for once.
