For sale: Artex Guitar Works Stratocaster-type electric guitar. Artex Guitar Works was a brand that gained popularity in the 90s alongside Moon, Aircraft, etc., producing handmade guitars through a semi-order system. This guitar is a custom-order model made with luxurious materials: an extremely thick solid flame maple top and a bird's eye maple 1-piece neck. It's equipped with an active preamp, seemingly inspired by Sadowsky and James Tyler. The hardware also appears to be original, featuring a 2-point tremolo and locking tuners. The pickguard is also made of flame maple, but it may have been made and replaced later. Currently, the pickups are 3S, but the routing is SSH. There are no issues with the sound. The back panel is missing. Regarding the appearance, the fingerboard finish has become cloudy. Other than that, it's relatively clean, but since it's a used item, please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about the appearance. It will be shipped in a generic soft case, wrapped in bubble wrap. Please note that it will not be packed in a cardboard box. Thank you for your consideration. #Stratocaster #Stratocaster #guitar #electricguitar
