Sound Pure's Take

What a stunner!  Between the top shelf tonewoods, the vintage-styled, high output pickups and the comfy, early 60s neck carve, this Strat is guaranteed to impress/beguile any fans of the bodystyle.

From Fender

Classy and steeped in tradition, the Artisan Figured Mahogany Stratocaster exemplifies all you would expect in playability and tone from the Fender Custom Shop. Stunning in looks and performance, the Artisan Figured Mahogany Stratocaster exhibits a roasted okume body topped with a warm-sounding figured mahogany top. Complete with a 3A roasted birdseye maple neck, an African blackwood fingerboard and a set of hot, hand-wound Ancho Poblano pickups, the Artisan Figured Mahogany Stratocaster is an unapologetic gift to the visual and auditory senses.
