Mouth-watering Spalted Maple Top Artisan Strat
Looking for that special Strat? The Fender Custom Shop Spalted Maple Top Artisan Stratocaster is a beauty. For starters, there's that incredible top - even the hi-res photos in Sweetwater's Guitar Gallery can't depict how stunningly three-dimensional it looks in real life. Playability is flawless, thanks to this guitar's Soft "V" neck profile. Classic tone pours from its trio of Fat '50 pickups, while a 2-point floating bridge delivers the vibe. A 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, chrome "lipstick" pickup covers and knobs, and ebony tuner buttons max out the visuals of the Fender Custom Shop Spalted Maple Top Artisan Stratocaster.
