Fender Custom Shop Artisan Dual P-90 Koa Stratocaster Electric Guitar in Aged Natural

Fender Custom's Artisan Series was designed to showcase exquisite tonewoods with distinctive figures and hand-rubbed oil finishes. Artisan series guitars are also packed with a wealth of special appointments and features that contribute to their striking sound and style. The Artisan Dual P-90 Koa Stratocaster is no exception! Boasting the finest master craftsmanship only found in the Fender Custom Shop, the Artisan Stratocaster features a lightweight Kalamazoo Mahogany body and AAAA Figured Koa top with f-hole, delivering enhanced tone and resonance. A stunning 60s oval “C” shape roasted AAA Flame Maple neck is topped with a Rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5-12" compound radius for modern playability. 

At the heart of the Artisan Strat is a set of Custom Shop P-90 pickups, delivering a warm, resonant tone with a dynamic vintage punch. Fat ’50s Tele wiring allows you to roll the volume back on the guitar without losing your top end. Other premium features include a six-saddle hardtail bridge with “Pat. Pend.” saddles, vintage-style tuning machines with brown shell buttons and a deluxe hardshell case and certificate of authenticity.

Key Features

• Fine Hand Selected Tonewoods - These exquisite, hand-selected materials are not your average cuts of wood! With eye-catching figuring, Artisan Series guitars look every bit as good as they sound!
• Custom Shop P-90 Pickups - P-90 pickups are surprisingly versatile and are well suited to a range of musical styles. With a bright top end and punchy mid range, these Custom Shop pickups will ensure you cut through in a mix!
• Hollowbody - Fender’s semi-hollow Thinline design offers players a lively, open and resonant electric guitar tone with increased sustain and warmth with rich musical harmonics.

‘60s C Oval Shape Neck

The neck that can do everything! Not too thin and not too fat, just right no matter what style of playing you want to play that day. The neck is big enough that you can still wrap your thumb over and feel the whole guitar shake as you strum the strings as hard as you can yet still thin enough that you can effortlessly shred up and down the neck.

Compound Radius

The Compound or sometimes called Conical fingerboard radius ensures maximum comfort and playability no matter what style you are playing or where on the neck you are. From around the 12th fret, the fingerboard radius flattens out to create a faster-feeling neck and to make bending and more technical playing feel effortless.
