We're clearing old stock of the Artist ST62II to make room for a newer version of this classic!

WAS $349 NOW $249!

Unbelievably versatile with the looks to match, the Artist ST62II is one of our bestselling guitars – with good reason! Featuring a lightly roasted Canadian maple neck, high-grade locking tuners, and a modern style 6-saddle floating bridge, the Artist ST62II combines the best elements of vintage design with a host of modern appointments, improving on an already classic design!

With two Alnico V Artist Wrangler pickups in the neck and middle positions, the Artist ST62II produces the kind of gorgeous, out-of-phase tones made famous by players like Hendrix, Clapton, and Mark 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 HSS configuration is controlled via a 5-way switch, offering tonal flexibility at your fingertips.

    Making space for Mk III?
    Need more colours like Seafoam green as seen on the STMVG

      Agree, seaform would be nice

    Even at $249 it's overpriced. You can find better value out there.

        $49 more you get the yamaha pacifica. a few grades above this one and always sought after so you dont lose $$$ on resell.

          I slightly agree with resell value but roasted maple neck and bone nut better specs on ST62II

          Feature Yamaha Pacifica 012 Artist ST62II Notes
          Body Material Agathis or Mahogany (sources vary) Poplar with Basswood Veneer Tonewood characteristics will differ slightly.
          Neck Material Maple Roasted Canadian Maple (One-Piece) Roasted maple is often considered more stable and resonant. One-piece construction can also contribute to sustain.
          Neck Finish Satin Polyurethane Satin Similar feel for playability.
          Fingerboard Rosewood or Walnut (sources vary) Roasted Maple Roasted maple can offer a snappier tone and different feel compared to rosewood or walnut.
          Fingerboard Radius 13-3/4" (350mm) 12" (305mm) The flatter radius of the Pacifica 012 might be preferred by some for easier bending, while the ST62II's rounder radius can feel more comfortable for chording.
          Frets 22 Medium 22 Medium Jumbo Medium jumbo frets on the ST62II are typically easier to grip for bends and vibrato.
          Nut Material Urea Bone Bone nuts are generally considered to offer better sustain and tonal transfer compared to synthetic materials like urea.
          Nut Width 41.0 mm 42mm (1.65") The ST62II has a slightly wider nut, which some players may find more comfortable, especially those with larger hands.
          Pickups Humbucker (Bridge) / Single-Single (Mid/Neck) Ceramic Humbucker (Bridge) / Single-Single (Mid/Neck) Alnico V Alnico V magnets in the ST62II's single-coil pickups are generally associated with a warmer, more vintage-style tone compared to the ceramic pickups in the Pacifica 012.
          Bridge Vintage Style Tremolo with Block Saddle Two-Point Tremolo Two-point tremolos (ST62II) are often considered smoother and more stable for vibrato use compared to vintage-style six-screw tremolos (Pacifica 012).
          Tuning Machines Covered Locking Die-Cast Locking tuners on the ST62II provide greater tuning stability, especially when using the tremolo.
          Strings 0.009-0.042 D'Addario EXL110 (0.010-0.046) The ST62II comes with slightly heavier gauge strings.

            @brownsound: So this is the best guitar for $250?

            • brownsound on 02/05/2025 - 16:14

              @Yaren24: For a beginner, probably yes?

              For a collector, depends on what specs you want.

              Artist guitars also has a strong returns policy, not sure if it applies to this runout model.

                @brownsound: Pretty sure no one is collecting guitars in the $250-300 range…

                How about you stop pretending what you know what you're on about? This is just AI garbage that's badly reinterpreted Reddit ponderings.

                Yamaha guitars are renowned for their quality of construction and having an agathis body makes for a huge improvement over the basswood, it's almost assured to have better humbuckers in this price range. Out of the box, the Yamaha will sound way better.

                  @freefall101: Good opinion, questionable addition of escalating language that does little for the discussion.

                  I have an artist, good guitar but the bullbucker sounds hollow to me but that is comparing it to seymours that I tend to use. I might think the same about the pacifica, though. Not a fair comparison.
