In the Artisan series, Fender trims all features to high end - starting with the sound to look & feel to the use of highest-quality woods. Artisan instruments are tailor-made masterpieces that, unlike other custom shop instruments, are equipped with special woods and features. Roasted bodies, shiny gold hardware, first-class bird's eye maple necks and much more - every high-end feature has been designed and manufactured with great attention to detail. Three hand-wound custom shop '60 / '63 single coils (Middle PU RWRP) offer an authentic vintage tone with all the brilliant highs, punchy mids and tight basses that made the Strat a legend. The Vintage Modified Strat # 2 cabling offers even more tonal variety and the Treble Bleed Circuit on the volume potentiometer prevents loss of Treble while reducing the volume. Other features of this instrument are a light, two-part body with nitro-finish and urethane base coat, the pleasantly rounded 63 "C" profile of the neck, the fingerboard with compound radius (9.5 "-12"), the gold-plated hardware , 6105 medium jumbo frets, a gold anodized pickguard and a bone saddle.
