Product Description

Artist AP97BB Black Electric Guitar w/ Bullbucker Pickups

The AP97 just got a whole lot classier... 

The all-new Artist AP97BB is an immensely light, ultra-playable pro-level instrument, equipped with the finest hardware we've ever produced on a guitar of this style. The AP97BB features our very own Bullbucker humbucking pickups, which include coil-splitting capability to give you ultimate control over your tonal options! These are known for their smooth, 'flute-like' neck tones, and a high-output bridge pickup that drives the front-end of a tube-amp wonderfully, delivering sweet, saturated tones with a rich top-end.

The C-shaped African Mahogany set neck is topped with an ultra-hard, 12'' radius eco-rosewood fingerboard. Renowned for its durability and even tonal response by some of Australia's best luthiers, eco-rosewood fingerboards are used across a large majority of our range. The deluxe-spec hardware on the AP97BB includes a brass-saddled tuneomatic bridge, high-grade gold locking tuners, and a 43mm bone nut. 

The AP97BB comes strung from the factory with D'Addario EXL110 strings.
