American Performer Stratocaster
(Honey Burst)
'The Best just got Better!'A modern vision of the solid body guitar from where it all began, the American Performer Stratocaster from Fender packs all the features that made the Strat such an icon, and then some! You’ll find three of Fender’s Yosemite single-coils, featuring flat-staggered pole pieces to further the overall output – which deliver all the timeless Strat chime and high-end.
Fender included a push-pull pot on second of the two-tone pots, which activates Fender’s ‘Greasebucket’ master tone circuit, this is a method of rolling off the high-end, all whilst not reducing gain. Not to be outdone by such marvellous and innovative electronics, Fender’s American Performer Stratocaster, as you’d expect, boasts all the spectacular comfort and playability you’d naturally expect from a US Stratocaster!
Amazing Features
• Alder body
• Three Yosemite single-coil Stratocaster pickups; RW/RP middle pickup
• Push-pull pot activates neck pickup; Greasebucket tone circuitry
• “Modern C”-shaped neck with 9.5”-radius fingerboard; 22 jumbo frets
• ClassicGear™ tuning machines; silver ‘70s logo
Versatile Sonic Power
‘Greasebucket’ master tone circuitFender outfitted the American Performer Stratocaster series with three of Yosemite's single-coil pickups in each position. It’s all here, from bell-like highs to singing leads, these pickups deliver on all fronts!
This versatile sonic power is controlled via a classic 5-way blade pickup selector. The bridge tone pot activates the ‘Greasebucket’ master tone circuit, this cuts the high end, but never reduces gain. A seriously cool feature to see on a Strat!
Classic Stratocaster Hardware
vintage-style tremoloThe electronics on the American Performer series will hold a very strong appeal to the modern guitarist, however the included hardware is going to be very familiar to traditional Fender fanatics. Featuring a 6-screw vintage-style tremolo, this trem system allows you to add everything from a gentle warble, right through to hardcore EVH-style divebombs!
Further up the neck, you’ll find Fender’s American Performer machine heads, each of which serve up a highly responsive and smooth feel for accurate and importantly, reliable tuning.
