Product Description

Artist AS62III Vintage Sunburst Electric Guitar w/ HSS Pickups

The latest addition to our range of S-type guitars, the Artist AS62III combines classic late 60s styling with a host of ultra-modern appointments, offering a massive range of tones to suit jazz cats and punk thrashers alike! With two Alnico V Artist Wrangler pickups in the neck and middle positions, the AS62III produces the kind of gorgeous, out-of-phase tones made famous by players like Hendrix, Clapton, and Knopfler! If you're hungry for a little more power, switching to the bridge position reveals a throaty growl with plenty of mid-range and top-end bite courtesy of our famous Artist Bullbucker Humbucker! 

The Artist AS62III features a stunning Bolivian Rosewood fretboard atop a lightly roasted Maple neck. With a 42mm bone nut (nearly standard these days across our range), Perhaps AS62III also comes equipped with GraphTech RATIO® Machine Heads! RATIO® Calibrated Machine Heads incorporate different string gauges into the tuning equation. From Low E to High E - 39:1, 24:1, 20:1, 35:1, 20:1, 12:1. Each string's gear ratio is balanced so that every string reacts the same to any tuning adjustment. Simply turn the tuner halfway around to tune up or down a semitone - on any string! 

The Artist AS62III comes strung from the factory with D'Addario EXL110 10-46 strings.
