FENDER SAYS
A refined twist on a classic Fender guitar design, the Artisan Figured Rosewood Strat is perfect for players who demand nothing but the best for their music. The finest team of builders on the planet melded a roasted Fiji mahogany body with figured rosewood top to modern mojo, authentic sound and classic playability—creating an exotic-looking instrument that’s rooted in the familiar.
Three hand-wound Custom Shop ’60/’63 single-coil Stratocaster pickups—including a RWRP middle pickup—provide authentic vintage-style tone, with all the pristine highs, punchy mids and robust lows that made the Strat a legend. Vintage Modified Strat #2 wiring adds even more sonic variety, connecting the middle pickup to the first tone control and adding our Tone-Saver treble-bleed circuit to the master volume control, ensuring your tone remains unchanged when reducing the instrument’s volume.
