Detail 01
25.5" scale
Standard Fender string tension. Bends take more effort than a 24.75" guitar, and the attack stays snappy.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Fender Artist Series signature Stratocaster in vintage white with a maple fingerboard and 25.5" scale. For advanced players who already know they want this specific voice.

Who this is for
- Players chasing tight, modern high-gain Strat tone
- Advanced lead work where a maple board's attack helps
- Someone committed to a signature spec, not experimenting
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners — $2,700 is a lot of guitar to learn on
- Players who want warm vintage single-coil chime
- Anyone needing a left-handed instrument
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Maple fingerboard
Brighter, harder attack than rosewood. Notes cut through gain more cleanly but sound less rounded clean.
Detail 03
Tremolo bridge
Vibrato arm for dips and shimmer. Tuning stability depends on setup, and string changes take longer.
Detail 04
Solid body
No feedback issues at volume and plenty of sustain, but it carries real weight on a strap.
Detail 05
Artist Series
Built to one player's spec rather than a general-purpose Strat, so the feel is deliberately specific.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No amp, cable or strap included — budget for those separately

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a good first guitar?
No. At $2,699 it is a professional instrument built to a specific signature spec. A cheaper Stratocaster teaches you the same fundamentals.
02Does it come with a case?
Nothing beyond the guitar itself is listed here. Ask before ordering if a case matters to you.
03Is it available left-handed?
This one is right-handed only.
04How does the maple board compare to rosewood?
Maple is harder and brighter with a faster attack. Rosewood sounds warmer and slightly softer on the pick attack. Maple also shows wear more visibly.
