Artisan series instruments are custom-built masterpieces, outfitted with special appointments and features unlike any other Custom Shop instruments. Yet with vintage design touches, the foundation and spirit is authentically Fender. Exotic okoume bodies, lustrous gold hardware, premium "roasted" bird's-eye maple necks and much more - every high-end feature is fashioned and finished with painstaking attention to detail.
 
The Artisan Okoume Stratocaster is a perfect combination of striking form and legendary Fender functionality. Mesmerizing in looks and sound, its '56 Strat body is crafted from premium okoume and finished in classic chocolate sunburst. Featuring a comfortable 10/56 "V" profile, the bird's-eye maple neck is "roasted" to a dark caramel color to match the bodys edges and finished with nitrocellulose lacquer for ultimate breathability and feel. Complete with gold hardware, a trio of handwound single-coil '69 Strat pickups and a wealth of cosmetic upgrades, each unique model is a feast for eyes and ears alike.
 
Other features include a 9.5"-radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage tall frets and bone nut, headstock with gold foil Fender logo, gold American Vintage Strat bridge, '50s-style truss rod adjustment, vintage-correct knobs and parchment pickguard, five-way switching and more.
