Product Overview
The Fender Custom Shop Limited-edition Artisan Koa Stratocaster Thinline NOS is an absolute show stopper of a Strat, sporting a distinctive thinline design that blooms and shimmers with rich resonance. This Strat’s lightweight nitro-coated body is constructed from a 2-part tonewood concoction comprised of a warm mahogany body and an eye-popping AAAA flame koa top. On the opposite end, the neck’s roasted AAA bird’s-eye maple foundation and glassy African blackwood fingerboard more than match the body’s prestigious timbers, and it’s all finished off with 21 narrow tall frets in an ultra-high-performance 9.5–12-inch radius.
The crowning touch is found in a trio of hand-wound Fender Custom Shop Fat ’50s pickups that hot rod the Strat’s classic sparkle with a boosted bass and biting midrange. Lightweight, endlessly playable, and sure to enrapture the eyes of any audience — the Limited-edition Artisan Koa Stratocaster Thinline NOS is an heirloom-quality 6-string that epitomizes the Fender Custom Shop’s unerring dedication to perfection.
