Here is a fantastic Fender Custom Shop offering! This pre-owned 2014 Artisan stratocaster is in unplayed, mint condition and features a striking quilted maple top. Beautiful custom shop quality and original hardcase cover with all the case candy still in packaging, what more could you want!

The Artisan Series from Fender's Custom Shop offers guitarists something a little bit different. You still get the famous solid-body shaped guitar, but with super build quality and distinctive woods. As its name suggests, the Quilted Maple Top Artisan Stratocaster has a quilted maple top. It is finished with a lovely Tigereye varnish that complements the AAA flamed maple neck beautifully. The guitar is fitted with single-coil pickups with lipstick covers. In combination with the wood types mentioned above, an alder body and a rosewood fretboard give this guitar its famous balanced Fender sound with plenty of punch.

With three Custom Shop Fat '50s in an SSS configuration and the familiar tone control, you can access a diverse range of legendary Stratocaster sounds. For adding subtle vibrato effects, the Fender features a vintage two-point tremolo with six adjustable saddles. Twenty-two narrow jumbo frets on the soft 1957 V-profile neck give the notes extra purity. The limited edition Artisan Strat offers extremely smooth and effortless playing enjoyment.

For the Artisan series, Fender's Custom Shop aims to push the artistic boundaries when it comes to building guitars by hand. These specially built works of art possess a number of distinctive characteristics compared to similar guitars, yet they remain firmly rooted in the original Fender tradition. Featuring details like eye-catching wood types and luxury gold hardware, the Artisan Series produces guitars of stunning quality. All Artisan guitars are finished with meticulous attention to detail and guarantee perfection when it comes to sound, look and playing comfort.
