Team-built for a limited time only, Artisan series instruments are also outfitted with a wealth of special appointments and features that contribute to their striking sound and style.
The Artisan series Walnut-Top Stratocaster features a beautifully crafted walnut top accentuated by a new "buckeye" finish.
