General

Fender's American Performer Stratocaster HSS is extremely versatile thanks to features like its HSS pickup configuration, its push/pull tone potentiometer and its GreaseBucket tone circuit. These give you a huge range of sounds to go with this model's authentic feel and timeless look. The American Performer series is the spiritual successor to the American Special series which means you won't find an American Fender for a better price. It even comes complete with a deluxe gig bag.

The American Performer Stratocaster HSS

This Stratocaster features Fender's Yosemite single-coil pickups that were specially developed for this series. They deliver a high output and have a shellac coating to prevent problems with feedback. There's also a DoubleTap humbucker on board that can be split for single-coil sounds using the push/pull tone potentiometer. Fender have even made sure there'll be no difference in volume when switching between the humbucker and split single-coils thanks to some clever innovations.

Authentic Strat Feel

One of the reasons Stratocasters are so popular is because they offer excellent playing comfort. That's no different here thanks to the satin-gloss finish on the back of the neck that is fast and smooth. The modern C profile, rounded 9.5-inch radius and 22 jumbo frets all play their part here as well.

Wrote the following about Fender American Performer Stratocaster HSS 3-Color Sunburst RW with Gig Bag
Heerlijke gitaar,speelt heel soepel en ligt lekker in de hand. Met het geluid kun je alle kanten op,zeer breed inzetbaar. Zeer hoge kwaliteit gitaar. En niet onbelangrijk, mooie gitaar om te zien.
Kort samengevat,je hebt eigenlijk nooit geen Andre meer nodig.

Wrote the following about Fender American Performer Stratocaster HSS 3-Color Sunburst RW with Gig Bag
Après avoir fait pas mal de recherches ici et là, mon choix s est donc porté sur cette performer pour remplacer ma Squier vintage.

On se retrouve avec une vraie Fender us, avec une sonorité typique des strat, pour un prix tout à fait acceptable.

La prise en main est remarquable!

Le manche est vraiment bien étudié, les micros de grande qualité, ce qui en fait un excellent outil avec lequel on prend énormément de plaisir!

Étant moi même débutant, j ai pu voir la différence entre ma Squier et cette performer: cette dernière, bien que la prise en main soit « facilitée » de part sa grande qualité, demandera plus de précision au niveau des frettes pour obtenir les meilleurs accords / sonorités possibles.

Un excellent outil pour progresser, qui pardonne beaucoup moins l erreur que les guitares milieu de gamme, et qui donne encore plus envie de se perfectionner!
