Description

The Slipknot guitarist worked directly with Fender to create his Artist Stratocaster, a dark take on the classic Strat built to his exact and brutal specifications. The mahogany body features a very sharp radius. The Modern "C"-shape neck features a large-style headstock, ebony or maple compound-radius fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets and no inlays. EMG 60 and EMG 81 active humbucking pickups, at the neck and bridge respectively, put a killer's the edge on this stripped-down, no-nonsense ax ready for blood. Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender's Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world's first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world's leading guitar manufacturer. Developed hand-in-hand with some of the biggest artists of yesterday and today, the Fender Artist Series is a collaborative line of signature models incorporating hand-selected tonewoods and custom appointments and specs, voiced to specific tones and playing styles by our master builders and the artists themselves. Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jaguars, Jazzmasters, and Jazz, Precision, and Jaguar basses take on new life with the help of some of music's most revered icons.
