Fender's American Performer series is the spiritual successor to the American Special series. If you want to get your hands on a real American Stratocaster at an attractive price, this model is it! It has a maple neck and fretboard, sweetening the brightness of its sound. The neck is refined by a modern C profile with a rounded 9.5-inch radius and there are 22 jumbo frets that enhance its playing comfort. Fender have even included a deluxe gig bag.
This Strat has an alder body and is equipped with newly-developed Yosemite single-coil pickups that have flat-staggered poles, giving them extra output and really letting the dynamics in your playing shine through. They also have a shellac coating to prevent problems with feedback. The tone potentiometer has a push/pull function that gives you even more sound possibilities from the neck pickup.
Stable tuning is one of the most important aspects of any string instrument. That's why Fender have equipped their American Performer Stratocaster with ClassicGear machine heads. While they have that satisfying vintage look, they also offer modern reliability. The 1.685-inch wide string nut also adds to the tuning stability and impeccable intonation on this instrument. There's a vintage-style tremolo that makes it easy to add subtle vibrato effects to your playing as well. The silver-coloured Fender logo in the headstock is a great finishing touch.
