  I’ve come to the conclusion that this is by far my favorite YouTube channel..  no competition.

  From one guitarist to another, you are doing the lords work! We really appreciate your channel. The humor and honesty is very refreshing. You have replaced the old Chappers and Captain videos for me! Cheers from America!

  I live in Australia and own a few  Artist guitars and they're fantastically well-appointed. Their higher end (and still inexpensive) guitars have stainless steel frets, and even the budget ones have locking tuners, coil split / tap and great setups out of the box.

  The thing is that you point out more positives than any other channel I've seen.  Sure, you roast the Hell out of the guitars but you show the work needed to make them great players.  If I had a guitar company I'd love to have you review them.  Best free marketing there could be.

  Everyone that has reviewed their guitars locally in Australia, l9ve them.great quality control and good instruments at a very affordable price. if you aren't a brand name snob these can comfortably be your main guitars.

  It's wonderful to see how much this channel has grown - nearly 5K views after 4 hours. Thanks for my Monday laugh Paul.

  The beauty of this channel, apart from the banter, is you’re taking loads of the misconceptions and fear out of doing your own set ups etc.  I’m slowly building up my tool kit and was lucky enough to get one of those crimson guitars notched straight edges and fret rockers for my birthday (my mate did their 3 day course) fuck me they aren’t cheap!! Keep up the good work Paul.

  I sold my Gibsons and Fenders and now buy from builders like you (one-man shops building customs) and CNC Epiphones, Tario, overseas copies etc.  I agree with you in that a good build with a great set-up and amp do the trick.  Guitar players sound just like themselves regardless of the guitar in their hands. Great channel!

  Have an Artist DIY Strat - bit of a tweak and love it. Got it directly from them in Australia

  I was one of the ones who recommended Artist Guitars. I bought one of the slightly more expensive Artist Les Pauls a couple of years back (think I paid about £260 for it, including a hard case), and I agree that to my very simple knowledge of guitars that it&apos;s better than any Epiphone Les Paul I&apos;d tried under £500. <br><br>Also, on the subject of notched straight edges, I got mine from hellfire tools for about £25. Again, I&apos;m no expert but seems awesome quality to me. <br><br>Frigging love the channel. Paul, you are an utter legend, and you&apos;re teaching me loads as I try not to fuck up my very first guitar build.

  I&apos;ve currently got 16 guitars, and half of them are Artists. The value for money is incredible, and the team at Artist go out of their way to supply amazing customer service. <br>Picked up a few sweet deals in their Bargain Bin too. Great video.
