General

If you want to get your hands on an attractively-priced American Fender Telecaster, you won't find a better option than this model from the American Performer series. It's made in Corona, California and even comes complete with a deluxe gig bag!

The American Performer Telecaster: Expressive Sound

This Tele has an alder body and is equipped with two Yosemite single-coil pickups. The one at the neck has a shellac coating, while the one at the bridge has wax potting. Both pickups deliver more output than you might expect which means the dynamics in your playing come through extremely well. There's also a Greasebucket tone circuit that gives you more control over the high frequencies without emphasising the bass.

Authentic Playing Feel

Another outstanding feature on this model is its neck that has a modern C profile and a rounded 9.5-inch radius giving it an authentic playing feel. This version has a rosewood fretboard that adds extra warmth to the sound and there are 22 jumbo frets. The newly-developed ClassicGear machine heads combine a vintage look with modern reliability and ensure excellent tuning stability along with the 1.65-inch string nut.

Fender American Performer Telecaster Satin Sonic Blue RW with Gig Bag

Wrote the following about Fender American Performer Telecaster Satin Sonic Blue RW with Gig Bag
This is an amazing guitar.

I got a really high end american guitar for a very good price.

I wanted to compare 3 different Telecasters, so they ordered all of them to be delivered in Antwerp shop.All of them were delivered within a day, so I tried all of them back to back, and I realized I found the guitar I was looking for :) The guys of Antwerp Bax-music are very kind, they know a lot about the guitar and helped me a lot.

Guitar comes with a good gigbag. There were no defects, not a single tiny scratch.

The neck is amazing, feels good, plays awesome, and the fret ends are perfect and smooth. I love the tall Jumbo frets, playing is effortless. Rosewood fret board and the satin sonic blue color match very well.

I'm keeping this guitar for many many years.
