Fender Custom Artisan Maple Burl Stratocaster

There’s nothing typical about a Fender Custom Shop Artisan Stratocaster. Its flame maple burl-topped roasted ash body not only provides eye-popping good looks, it also yields a terrific blend of resonance, bite, and sustain. Its roasted 3A bird’s-eye maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard provide plenty of clarity, bite, and even more sustain. Experience classic bell-like, jangly, smooth, and bluesy tones with a distinctive midrange bite, courtesy of the Artisan Stratocaster’s hand-wound single-coil pickups, while a hand-filling ’63 C-shaped neck and slick 9.5-radius fingerboard ensure extreme playability.

The Artisan Stratocaster is built from an eclectic blend of tonewoods. Its resounding roasted ash body is capped with an eye-popping 4A flame maple burl top, which imparts a nice bite and increases the instrument’s sustain. Its gorgeous roasted 3A bird’s-eye maple neck is topped by a Macassar ebony fingerboard — prized for its attack, sustain, and stability. The Artisan Stratocaster will blanket your playing with an amazing balance of brightness, warmth, and ear-popping mids.
