Fender Spalted Maple Top Artisan Stratocaster Buckeye MN

General

The electric guitars from the Artisan series are built from the finest materials. They are produced in very limited numbers by the master builders from Fender's Custom Shop. The Spalted Maple Top Artisan Stratocaster Buckeye MN is a prime example. A spalted maple top and a one-piece AAA-quality, flamed maple neck give this solid-body guitar a great look. Add to that the reliable alder body and you are assured of an instrument with a balanced sound and that famous Fender bite.
