Frequently Asked Questions
It essentially splits the humbuckers into single-coil configurations, providing a brighter, more Fender-like tone, broadening its versatility.
The AS Artstar profile is relatively slim and consistent, with a slight 'C' shape – most players with average to larger hands will find it comfortable, but it’s not as thick as some vintage designs.
While the AS113-BS uses excellent materials, it’s a step below the top-tier Artstars; expect slightly less elaborate binding and finishes, but still a very well-built instrument overall.
