Most photos online are this guitar.

My Artist Baritone Guitar was finally shipped to me last week but there was a wiring fault. Returned back to Artist Guitars but then they said that they had no other Artist Baritone guitars in stock so they gave back a full refund.
I always wanted a baritone guitar so I was kinda bummed that I have to wait until Artist has the Baritone guitars back in stock again.
But I strung my Radian Les Paul with .12-.68 Baritone Elixir strings, tuned to Standard B and it works just like a charm! No nut or guitar saddle adjustment needed and intonation is still spot on! Very happy how it worked out and having more money in my pocket.

Ordered from Aliexpress on Saturday evening 22/7, arrived today at 06:53am. That is fast
Out of the box it looks good. But longevity of quality of item will become evident over time...

I got a phuck off price from some goldplater to do some humbucker covers. Got some from AE for a fraction of the F off price. Now need to check if they actually fit and if they alter the sound at all. So before/after recording to be done.

Rockshop order, 3 hours from order to pickup. Works for me.
Its not enough that we succeed, we still need others to fail
