Description

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.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Natural

Natural guitars showcase the beauty of the wood itself, with finishes that highlight the grain, colour, and character of each piece. Favoured by players who appreciate simplicity and authenticity, natural finishes let the instrument’s craftsmanship and tonewoods speak for themselves. Whether it’s the warm glow of mahogany or the bright shimmer of maple, a natural guitar has a timeless, organic look that never goes out of style. These instruments often feel more connected to their acoustic roots, offering both visual elegance and a sense of purity that appeals to musicians across all genres.

P90

P90 pickups are a type of single-coil pickup known for their thick, punchy sound that sits between traditional single-coils and humbuckers. They deliver strong midrange presence with more output and grit than a typical single-coil, while retaining clarity and touch sensitivity.

Tonally, P90s are raw, dynamic, and expressive, offering bright highs, muscular mids, and a slightly gritty edge when pushed. They are widely used in blues, rock, punk, and indie styles, and are valued for their ability to sound articulate when clean and aggressive when driven.

Stratocaster

The Fender Strat – Stratocaster is one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made, celebrated for its sleek design, versatility, and instantly recognisable tone. Introduced in 1954, its contoured double-cutaway body, three single-coil pickups, and tremolo bridge set a new standard for comfort and sound flexibility. The Strat’s bright, expressive voice has defined countless genres, from blues and surf rock to funk and modern pop. Played by legends like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and David Gilmour, the Stratocaster remains a symbol of creativity and innovation, offering players endless tonal possibilities and a timeless feel that continues to inspire generations.
