We're clearing stock of the awesome AS68BK ahead of a massive new product drop!
With a gloss-black African mahogany body, modern electronics, and the most sought-after neck in our range, the all-new AS68 brings late-1960s flair to the 21st century in style. Featuring a quartersawn roasted maple neck topped with a stunning dark rosewood fretboard, this versatile beast plays like butter… and if that wasn't enough, we've equipped this one with 22 stainless steel frets on a 14-inch radius fretboard, yielding ultra-low action, while glow-in-the-dark fret markers on the side of the neck map the fretboard on even the darkest of pub stages.
A set of Alnico V single coil pickups delivers classic chime and jangle, while the vintage output bridge humbucker provides some extra snarl for the riffers among you. If you're after that typical single-coil cut-through in the bridge position, simply flick the coil-split switch, which you'll find conveniently nested between the master tone and volume pot to avoid accidental switching. Each AS68 comes with copper shielding, making it whisper-quiet when you're not playing!
Pretty nice hardware for $399 delivered. I've also bought an Artist guitar 2 years ago and was quite happy about it.
Interestingly I've just read about the current Fender fiasco relating to the S-shaped guitar. Hopefully you guys aren't on their hit list.
