Fender Custom Shop Artisan Dual P-90 Maple Burl Telecaster Electric Guitar in Aged Natural

The Fender Custom Shop represents the highest level of quality and attention to detail. Eye-catching beauty, exquisite tones and unmatched playability; Fender’s Custom Shop instruments epitomise all of those qualities. Whether you're in the market for a timeless, period-accurate workhorse or a unique, ultra modern piece of art, the Custom Shop has it all! We here at Andertons are privileged to stock one of the largest collections of Fender Custom Shop guitars in Europe!

Fender Custom's Artisan Series was designed to showcase exquisite tonewoods with distinctive figures and hand-rubbed oil finishes. Artisan series guitars are also packed with a wealth of special appointments and features that contribute to their striking sound and style. The Artisan Dual P-90 Maple Burl Telecaster is no exception! Boasting the finest master craftsmanship only found in the Fender Custom Shop, the Artisan Telecaster features a lightweight Kalamazoo Mahogany body and AAAA Figured Maple Burl top with f-hole, delivering enhanced tone and resonance. A stunning 60s oval “C” shape roasted AAA Flame Maple neck is topped with a Rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5-12" compound radius for modern playability. 

At the heart of the Artisan Tele is a set of Custom Shop P-90 pickups, delivering a warm, resonant tone with a dynamic vintage punch. Fat ’50s Tele wiring allows you to roll the volume back on the guitar without losing your top end. Other premium features include a “sawed-off” Tele bridge with RSD compensated brass saddles, vintage-style tuning machines with brown shell buttons and a deluxe hardshell case and certificate of authenticity.
