Artist AS20 Electric Guitar with HSS Pickups and Premium Gig Bag - Black
The Artist AS20 Black Electric Guitar delivers classic ST-style playability with versatile HSS pickups for bright cleans and powerful lead tones. It has a roasted poplar body, roasted maple neck, two-point tremolo and padded gig bag, ideal for beginners.

Ultimate Value
The Artist AS20 is the ultimate value electric guitar for gigging pros and beginners alike. Whether you're just starting or looking for an affordable guitar to tour with, the AS20 delivers professional feel and features at a beginner-friendly price. Featuring a solid roasted poplar body finished in a sleek gloss, paired with a modern C profile roasted maple neck and fretboard, the neck on the AS20 feels every bit as good as the guitars you're too scared to bring outside the studio! With an ultra-smooth satin-finished neck and tough 25% nickel frets, this one plays like butter, but is tough enough to withstand years of rough and tumble gigging without a refret.

Great Features
With a set of vintage-output ceramic single-coil pickups, the AS20 avoids the harshness usually associated with higher-output ceramic pickups, with the lower winding instead yielding bright, sparkling tones with plenty of mid-range warmth, perfect for everything from glassy sparkle to wild fuzz goodness. A high-output humbucker in the bridge position gives this one even more versatility, bringing wild saturated leads and high-octane metal chugging to the table. The two-point tremolo gives you the option to engage in classic rock screams and wails to your heart's content, safe in the knowledge that your tuning will remain rock-steady thanks to a set of high-grade chrome tuning machines and a rock-solid 42mm ABS nut. If that wasn't enough, the AS20 comes complete with a road-ready padded gig bag, perfect for transport to school, lessons, or for the back of a van to the green room, ad infinitum!
