An ex guitar tutor of mine had an Artisan and was selling it and wanted something like £1800-£2000 for it but offered it me for £1500 because he wanted the money for a PRS.

I didn't buy it and I regret that now. It was in black with gold hardware, 3 pick ups, flower petal fretboard inlays and ''Gibson acoustic'' headstock inlays.

Great playing as always Matt. You fookin rawk!

Cheers Zed. I'm thinking about picking up the old acoustic for a while. A change is as good as a rest as they say!

I regret not buying DB's artisian back in '80.... could have paid 400 for it

@mattchurchill2 how much does an artisan cost? i know the model was discontinued sometime in the early 80's but how much would one in good condition cost?

Man, do I love that guitar! My girlfriend's grandfather owns that exact same guitar and he actually let me play it. I felt like I wasn't worthy enough to play it. It's such a beautiful guitar with a beautiful sound to match. You definitely gave this guitar justice, my friend:)

I love the sounds on every video you have! The guitar tones are amazing! Lots of skills also!!

Cheers

I had 1 in the 80's, I loved the way it looked and the neck was good, the fine tuners on the bridge were a pain in the ass and it weighed a ton, after a while the neck pickup sort of went microphonic, I always strugled with it - it wasn't well behaved, on the other hand I bought a squire 50's classic vibe tele and it plays like a bastard right out of the cardboard box, I miss it now but I made £1500 on top of what I paid when it went,,,

Matt, did you not find the fretboard a little flat for bending, and sharp at the edges? I had one of these, but couldn't get on with it. '79, or thereabouts, was not a good era for Gibson, and I 'outed' it through Andys. Having said that the pickups had huge output, so it was about the fattest sound I have had. Nice fluid playing. Cheers.

Oops! sorry, I misunderstood the git-fiddle, not the peddle! Maybe build one from warmoth for about a grand. man you sound good in that gear!

[tonepuppy]

Out of your price range!!! Are you kidding me, you play like a pro dude, get out there and gig a little for it, I mean $200 ain't that much! And you sound so damn good with it too!
