NGD - Fender Custom Shop Artisan P90 Tele

chris78

There was a thread here recently about whether or not the Custom Shop was any better than production guitars. That debate will run, but what the Custom Shop can do that you can't get from the factory is use some very special woods to make some stunning guitars. This is the 5th Artisan guitar I now own, all are keepers and would be the last I ever sell.
The pics don't do this justice. The Koa has an amazing 3d flame and the flamed roasted Okume isn't bad either. Topped up with a very dark ebony board, 4a flame roasted maple neck, some nice Tortoiseshell tuners and binding - the Custom Shop chucked everything at this.

Gorgeous. Strangely it looks like a guitar that the custom shop people really enjoyed making. If that makes sense. Health to enjoy!

Wow, congrats. I do love the Artisan series. Something lovely to look at when you get bored of me-too vintage reissues in boring colours...

That's a beaut.  Edit the "woods/words" before the cynics cotton on....

Not really my sort of thing but the craftsmanship is incredible. Looks like a display of the CS guys showing off their skills.
Happy NGD

I love your vision and how this has turned into a truly stunning guitar.
It ticks many of my own boxes.

Out of the park.....

Honestly Chris, the lengths you’ll go to just to get a P90 guitar into the collection!

Seriously gorgeous that, congrats!
