The Artisan Dual P90 Flame Maple Top Strat puts a flame maple top on a one-piece vintage Michigan mahogany body and swaps the usual three single-coils for two Custom Shop P90 pickups. It is finished in Aged Violin Burst nitrocellulose lacquer with Relic aging, worn the way a well-played guitar wears.
The bridge is a 6-saddle string-through-body hardtail with bent steel saddles, so there is no tremolo and the strings anchor through the body. A three-way blade gives bridge, both, or neck, with master volume and tone. The 3A roasted flame maple neck has a '60s Oval "C" carve, a 3A Rosewood fingerboard on a 9.5" to 12" compound radius, and 21 Narrow Tall (6105) frets.
Its partner is the Artisan Dual P90 Flame Maple Top Tele Relic, with the same body woods and pickups in Aged Tobacco Sunburst. For two P90s in a Strat without the aging, see the Artisan Koa Dual P90 Strat.
The photos show one example. Wood grain and aging vary from guitar to guitar, so the one built for you will differ in the details.
