This is a great LP guitar loaded with some of the best pickups you'll find at this price! Thanks to Artist Guitars for sponsoring this video. Timestamps are located in the description.

Shane I have to say sounded great..but what caught my eye is the bell like carve on the top is strikingly better than some goldtop gibsons ...it has a good look the way those p90 recess into the body so cleanly like the origional les paul reissue lemon top they just released minus the wiggle stick.. released ...nice tones shane..
that's insane the price of that guitar, I have JHS Vintage V6P here in the UK with 3 Wilkinson Stacked P90's on her , do you get any feedback from yours, but cracking sound on that guitar ,
I'm definitely going to get one of these(when they're in stock). Quick question though, how were the frets on it. Any real sharp edges? as I noticed they did the gibson thing with the fret ends.
I thought you got the old VOS Les Paul back! 🤪 I’ve been on the hunt for a P90 equipped guitar for some time and this is really what I’ve been wanting as far as the tones and the look. The coil taps adds another level of tone textures to this good looking guitar! My only complaint is the availability of this guitar to the US with Artist Guitars. I completely understand the complexity of shipping inventory, even before supply shortages due to world events, but it is a shame nonetheless. Hopefully one will cross my path in the future, or I’ll just head on over to Australia when it’s possible 😁!!! Another solid demo Shane!! Cheers!🎸🎸🎸😎😎
Look at the new P90 Goldtop that Indio is getting ready to release. It's their 66 DLX Plus Goldtop w/ P90's. I have thr humbucker version and it's a fantastic guitar. It needed nothing from me the day I got it except to be tuned up and played. I love it and plan on buying another 66 DLX Plus. I'm just not sure if I want the iced tea burst - looking guitar they just put up or if I want the P90 gold top to go with my current GT.
I have a Burny Goldtop Les Paul with P90’s, it’s the RLG 60 P90 model, fantastic guitar! You should check it out, Burny make very authentic looking guitars that play beautifully!
Hello Shane, great review and playing as usual, however I believe you are using the term "coil tap" incorrectly, see my explanation for "HUTCHfromBA", below.
Great demonstration of the gold top Artist LP style guitar !! That mother rocks!! Looks great and sounds great as well. A lot of that is thanks to you, of course, Shane. The P90s are absolutely awesome and useable in coil split or not. Way to go Artist Guitars !! I really dig watching you play Shane ! You always show the joy of playing an instrument you like. Thanks for sharing your experience of this new Artist offering. Take care Shane!
Just picked up one of these. Super impressed so far! Beautiful finish, hardware is on point, and importantly the playability and tone is 👌. I finally have a P90 in the arsenal 😊
Great review but as usual you cant get the LP in the US bc of Gibson lawyers and every guitar is sold out on the US link. Thanks anyway. And we cant get cheap healthcare either! Lol
The supply chain certainly has made getting Artist guitars tough in the US. Additionally you can’t get the Les Paul style guitar in the States due to copyright issues which is a bummer because I have a TC 59 that I was fortunate enough to get last year and it sounds great. I’d really like to be able to try this model. Thanks for the demo Shane!
Beauty of a gold top, but unavailable in North America. I haven't seen more than 1 or 2 guitars available at Artist USA site for over a year. They have to do better getting their product over or stop GASlighting us.
These things don't stay in stock, I can tell you that. Been buying Artist gears for yonkers. Got notified about the new stock of Thinline Butterscotch Blonde teles late one evening, I think this was late last month. Went to buy the next morning they were all gone!
Hi Shane, i've been waiting for this one, looks and sounds awesome. As an Artist fanboy its gonna be in the Christmas sack for sure. As usual sound and camera superb and love the track. Cheers Paul.
The site (USA LINK) does not have one single traditional single cutaway Les Paul style guitar of any kind on it. Saving the USA-based folks some time here. ☹️
Just followed the USA link, found three pages of guitar photos with red banners crossing them with the notice : SOLD OUT. Never heard of Artist before, would love owning a dual P90 guitar if it was inexpensive, guess I'll check the link again in several weeks. Thx for something new I hadn't heard of before.
@@benallmark9671 Yeah, well, what're ya gonna do? I've got a feeling that the next several months are gonna be really tough, worse than the end of 2020 as far as gear availability. Be well.
Chords sound fine and in tune with the Artist GT90. I had a Yamaha Revstar P90's - beautifully made (heavy) and single notes excellent but chords never sounded in tune the overtones clashed. Whether it was the body or the pickups I don't know. Had your jam track going round in my head for a little while!
Amazing tones out of that Beautiful instrument. Cool guitar and nice playing Shane. Blues On....💙 PS. How does a coil tap work on a P90 ? I thought it was a fat signal coil.
These pickups have two separate coil windings, they are "stacked" one on top of the other, so it is a "humbucking" configuration, but with the two coils on top of each other instead of being side by side. Also the terminology is wrongly used by many people (Shane included), a "coil tap" is where there is a defined point in the winding of the coil which has a connection terminal, so that when the output of the pickup is "tapped" there is only part of the coil being used, not the full number of windings. In the case of "coil splitting" this usually refers to two separate coils, which in the humbucker pickup are connected (usually is series, but can be in parallel), and when the pickup is used in "split" mode it means that the two coil windings are "split" from each other and only one of them is used. Of course this distinction can be ignored if the two coil windings of the humbucking pickup configuration is considered to be "one coil", in which "coil tapping", then becomes a legitimate way of describing the separating of the two coil windings, but this is not what is usually meant by a "coil tap", however the common usage of the term "coil tap" has blurred the distinction and makes explanations such as this somewhat irrelevant!
Seems like a lot of guitar for the money. Sounds great. Sticklers will probably take issue with the shade of the Gold Top. Not saying I do... but some people... y'know...sticklers. ;)
I have the LP59 in Cherry Sunburst and these guitars definitely feel like they are worth about $1000-$1200 AUD it's easily on par with my Epiphone inspired by Gibson ebony explorer and that's a great guitar.
@intheblues Shane great review video. Would you recomend this version with P90's over the CSB bullbucker version? Which did you enjoy playing more? They both look pretty similar but the pickups may make a difference?
If anyone's interested in this for a left hander, it's a great time to buy! Until the end of the year (31/12/2023), it's on sale for $300 AUD which looks like an absolute steal to me.
I have two , this one and a Telecaster from a charity shop for $100 each brand new , I also own both of the real ones $0000 , these Artists sound so good if not better , I love them , even if they are left handed , swapped strings around now upside-down, and yea great🎸
I just got one of these guitars just a few weeks ago early October. Had to wait 6-7 months for them to be available here in the UK and within literally a couple of day's they were sold out. So they sell out fast or they don't get much stock in. But tremendous guitars with great specs for a modest amount of money. Got 4 now LP59TSB Les Paul this gold top Les Paul ST62 Stratocaster and TC59 telecaster great guitar but heavy as hell
Awesome playing Shane. Nice backing track. I've noticed that different guitars inspire different styles in your playing, which is great. Well done sir. Great sounding guitar!
Bloody things are never in stock for us leftys in the uk even on the mailing list for stock! Only thing that came into stock was the jazmaster style p90. Really wanna try the humbucker lp from artist. They look on par with harley benton.
I’m in the U.K. and have the LP59 Les Paul with the Bullbucker humbuckers, fantastic guitar and a very authentic looking Les Paul too! The tuners although locking are not as precise as they could be but holds tune well once set and I’d prefer a better bridge, a Tonepros or Gotoh but not urgent. I’ve added a pick guard to mine as I feel a Les Paul looks naked without one, put a “V” in the headstock and added the gold “Les Paul Model” script to the headstock with a 2 screw trussrod cover (all from eBay) The pickups are considerably better than those on a Harley Benton and are clones of the Seymour Duncan Jazz/JB set, it’s a much more authentic copy and compares favourable with guitars costing several times the price!
I have one of the batch just released in September 2022 and it's more of a burnt orange colour than gold. The one Shane is playing was obviously painted with a different paint colour than mine. The colour of mine is similar (in any light) to the colour you can see in this video at the 0:29 second mark. Still, I like it - it's a very nice guitar, plays well and has all the other good features Shane mentions - I just wouldn't call it a 'gold top'.
Looks nice Shane. I've been going back and forth on buying one of these since they were announced. The discounted one in the customer return section of their website had me looking again. I’ve never loved the Les Pauls I've had, but I keep wanting one. Great review as always.
@@jamalabdul2009 oh come to Melbourne great Jamal. I will meet you at the airport. Artist Guitars is in Sydney though. I used to live not too far away from them, but they are moving out west this week.
Yeah, that was an odd choice of screw. Really out of place. Look at 6:39 in the vid, about as close a look as I found. The pickup screws don't look quite as as obtrusive as before, but I'd need to see a better close up to be sure.
I had another look - these do look different to the original screws used. These appear have a rounded head. Note that the Artist website still shows the pickups with those odd flathead screws.
@@doogledog1740 You may be right. They look more like the real deal. Although maybe they sent a "special" one to Shane, or the lefties are screwed together properly.
Awesome Demo/Review Thanks Shane. I have an Artist Guitars TC59 , Cherry58 and just ordered a Grungemaster. Your Honest enthusiastic reviews have help me make the decisions and I have not been disappointed. Each Artist Guitar has been more than Expected, and have been so enjoyable to Play, Nothing but a Pleasant Experience from Customer Service to Quality of the Guitars. Was a Tough Choice for a P90's Guitar between The Grungemaster and This Gold Top and I chose The Grungemaster. I think I will need to get one of these Stacked Gold Tops next. Thankyou SO much Shane and Artist Guitars you have helped me through these tough times. Cheers
No stock in Europe unfortunately, a damn shame cause I was looking for a decent goldtop '56 type for a long time now. There's an Eko VL480 GT that seems ok also, but very little info on the web apart from couple short vids. Plus, component wise it's definitely built more affordable than this - basswood body, hardware that seems really cheap etc. Good for an upgrade project maybe....
I love this guitar but I want Artist to bring out a semi-hollow body with those P90s in it😛I already have an Artist Black58IIX with split Bullbuckers I absolutely love🤘🎸
The ease in which you played this guitar shows it's a quality build. I've got an ag100 on the way. Fingers crossed I feel the fluidity you seemed to have when playing this beast. I've watched enough videos of yours to tell what guitars feel right in your hands. This seems to rank well considering the price.
Would love to know how you think this compares to a Gibson. Obviously it's only about 10% of the price of a Gibson Les Paul Standard so I'd expect it to be nowhere near. But the tones in your video sound absolutely fantastic, and pretty much on par with the Gibsons I've played. Would love to know if it really is that good, or just great tone dialling in and great production?
@@DavidBrown-bc4fu Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it. Guess I need to order one then! with the awesome return policy they have I guess I've got nothing to lose anyway.
Just checked the USA website, they have two acoustics in stock and that's it, everything else is sold out, has been for months. This guitar is not even listed. Good Luck.
Stacked P90's and P100, are they the same? In the video, the body looks a bit thinner compare to "G"LP, am I right? One thing that kind of off is the position of the pots, they don't look arranged properly. Anyway, nice sounding and nice playing as always 👍👍👍
I tried to register on the Aussie website but couldn't because my address is in the US. So I looked up their US website and everything was sold out! Now I really have the blues!
I wish we could get them here in the US. Been waiting for them since June. Would love that one. It's what I've been looking at for a while now. Guess I'll have to look at another brand. I was going to buy 2 artist brand guitars but I guess not.
Great demo Shane! I also enjoyed your other demos about Artist guitars. So many cool options and they seem to be a great bang for the buck. Love how those P90s sound but also the TC59 got my attention. It looks I may have to toss a coin! From all the guitars from Artist you have tried, what’s your favourite?
Fantastic demo, brother and the sound is awesome, through my headphones. Been buying Artist gear since 2014 so, this gold top is definitely on the list for Xmas.
Great playing as always. I love to see how much fun you have while playing! I always like your backing tracks and see the computer in the background. What music software are you using?

Looks like a great guitar. Doesn't look like they have anything in stock tho.
Maybe it's my one only, but the single coil is on when the knob is down, as a P90 is naturally single-coil, By pulling it out in double coil.
Yes that’s what I discovered too and the humbucker setting is quieter for some reason?!
Just picked up one of these. Super impressed so far! Beautiful finish, hardware is on point, and importantly the playability and tone is 👌. I finally have a P90 in the arsenal 😊
Stacked P90 aka P100
Will it be a keeper Shane?
You had some broad smiles while playing it for sure.
only 90 seconds into this video and Shane is absolutely shredding. Have to try and get one of these into Japan in the new year. Awesome opening Jam.
Great review but as usual you cant get the LP in the US bc of Gibson lawyers and every guitar is sold out on the US link. Thanks anyway. And we cant get cheap healthcare either! Lol
The unequal layout of the volume and tone knobs really triggers my OCD! Nice playing Shane.
That first jam reminded me of early Blue Oyster
The best part....does not have the dump Epiphone headstock shape!
Looks good. Sounds good. Goldtop LP with P90s.... what more could you want.
Shane, please tell them to ship to africa!!
bet yuu would make broom sound guud 😆
I put some fat p90's in my Affinity and did not like it. You probably need something more similar to the LP materials.
The input on the switch and push-pull's I find extremely valuable. Thank you for the great review!!! Pleas keep them coming!!!

The US is just becoming evil in so many ways
Left-handed guitars just look odd. I don't think I'll ever get used to them.
But maybe that's just me.
Can you buy it in the usa?
No
Are the p90s the same ones they put in the grunge master
Great playing Shane... That is a good looking guitar,your reviews are the best

Great Looking and sounding guitar , problem is here in North America the odds of us getting our hands on one is slim to none. Especially now a days.

Worth watching the demos for your playing alone, but this sounds amazing for a guitar in this price range. Looks good as well.

But the tones in your video sound absolutely fantastic, and pretty much on par with the Gibsons I've played. Would love to know if it really is that good, or just great tone dialling in and great production?
I use this and a Gibson ES135 with 57 humbuckers. It really does sound that good
@@DavidBrown-bc4fu Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it. Guess I need to order one then! with the awesome return policy they have I guess I've got nothing to lose anyway.
Just checked the USA website, they have two acoustics in stock and that's it, everything else is sold out, has been for months. This guitar is not even listed. Good Luck.
Looks physicaly identical to the Harley benton GT I own. Specs are different. The gold is more bronze than the traditional GT
Stacked P90's and P100, are they the same?
In the video, the body looks a bit thinner compare to "G"LP, am I right?
One thing that kind of off is the position of the pots, they don't look arranged properly.
Anyway, nice sounding and nice playing as always 👍👍👍
I tried to register on the Aussie website but couldn't because my address is in the US. So I looked up their US website and everything was sold out! Now I really have the blues!
Hi Shane, what are your thoughts on the differences in sound of this LP compared to the Humbucker version?.
I’d love to get my hands on one of these, but I imagine the shipping to Ireland would be far too expensive
Artist have a UK website for ordering!
@@ces69 Thanks I’ll check it out, but with the UK now no longer a member of the European Union buying anything from England is an absolute nightmare
Looks great!
I have the Artist LP6 stealth and I absolutely love it. The bang for buck is hard to beat.
Excellent thanks, I’m ordering one, ps do you get to keep em 👍😁✌️
Artist really make amazing quality guitars for the price I'm not sure if there is any others as good great videos mate thanks 👍
I wish we could get them here in the US. Been waiting for them since June. Would love that one. It's what I've been looking at for a while now. Guess I'll have to look at another brand. I was going to buy 2 artist brand guitars but I guess not.
Can't decide between this or the lp59 with coil split and kill switch.. or at least which to get first..
Great demo Shane! I also enjoyed your other demos about Artist guitars. So many cool options and they seem to be a great bang for the buck. Love how those P90s sound but also the TC59 got my attention. It looks I may have to toss a coin! From all the guitars from Artist you have tried, what’s your favourite?
Just bought one. The smile on your face while playing says it all 😊
Fantastic demo, brother and the sound is awesome, through my headphones. Been buying Artist gear since 2014 so, this gold top is definitely on the list for Xmas.
Great playing as always. I love to see how much fun you have while playing! I always like your backing tracks and see the computer in the background. What music software are you using?
Great sounding pickups, good bandwidth.. nice playing too thanks.
Trying to get one Shane, but it is on a container somewhere at sea at the moment. I can wait….
That intro jam was awesome Shane! Looking forward to playing that well one day!
Awesome demo Shane. Love the way you present your videos. That guitar is a monster🤘🎸
Brilliant tone & great sustain.
That intro jam. Omg that was awesome.
