Product Description
With its stunning looks, sound and feel, this Fender Custom Shop Artisan Stratocaster with thinline Ash body and AAAA Koa top is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a Strat that offers a little more than what's typically on offer.
Featuring a semi-hollow roasted-ash body with a single "F" hole, in addition to a 4A figured koa top, this Strat has an alluring, elegant aesthetic in addition to a unique, distinctive tone. Its 3A birdseye maple neck is sculpted with a comfortable 1960 "oval-C" profile, topped by a beautiful Macassar ebony fingerboard with a compound radius (9.5"-12") and 21 narrow, tall frets. Bundled with its original hardshell case, COA and case candy, this guitar is in near-perfect condition and looks as if it's just come out of the factory. There is no visible fret wear on the guitar, and it has been loved and cared for.
‘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.
Custom Shop Fat ‘60s Pickups
Designed and made by the Fender Custom Shop, the Fat ‘60s Stratocaster pickups perfectly capture the highly desired articulate vintage ‘60s Strat tone but with a few updated tweaks. Made using period-correct fibre bobbins, cloth wire, Alnico II magnets, and Formvar magnet wire, these pickups provide authentic vintage Strat tones that are rich in dynamics with a bell-like character. They have been overwound for extra bite and more power in the low-end and the middle pickup is RWRP for no noise in positions 2 and 4.
Features
- Compound Radius - With its rounder 9.5" radius by the nut and flatter 12’’ radius from the 12th fret, this Artisan Strat offers maximum comfort up and down the neck.
- 1/2 Blender - The 1/2 Strat Blender allows even more tonal capabilities, allowing you to blend the neck pickup into positions 1 or 2.
- NOS - One of the most popular finish options in the Fender Custom Shop. A New Old Stock guitar looks exactly how it would have looked the day it left the factory, however many years ago. It’s as close to having a time machine as we can offer!
