Sound Pure's Take
Another fantastic Pro Artist from Gerard! The one-piece swamp ash really pops with the aqua finish. These Pro Artists really feel and sound like a really good vintage strat. The price is pretty spectacular too! There's not a better deal out there for a guitar that compares beautifully to Suhr, Anderson, Tyler and other companies building "super-strats"
The neck and fretwork on this guitar are not only flawless, they're as smooth as buttah! That's Gerard's specialty. The pickups provide vintage bell-like tone and take well to a variety of amps and pedals. I plugged this baby into a Victoria double deluxe and found a classic combination that vintage enthusiasts will love.

From Melancon Guitars
With no maple top, the Pro Artist is aimed at the true vintage connoisseur. Lightweight swamp ash or alder are the woods of choice to duplicate the bell-like tone and bite for which this style guitar is famous. We began with a traditional idea and brought it into the new millennium. From the expertly shaped and polished frets to total RF Shielding, this instrument exceeds the standards of vintage pieces, while maintaining the soul and "broken-in" feel of yesteryear.
