Player's Perspective

This American Performer Telecaster in a gorgeous Vintage White finish is the no-flash, no-frills workhorse Telecaster you've been looking for, and we're proud to offer this option for the discerning player!

Sporting vintage looks, the maple fretboard contrasts beautifully with the white pickguard and cream white finish, and under the hood, it's been brought into the 21st century with all the features a performing musician needs to succeed both in the studio and on stage.  The modern C neck shape is familiar and comfortable and is the closest to "one size fits all" a Telecaster neck can get.

In addition to the classic sounding bridge single-coil, this guitar features a custom humbucker in the neck position that adds a PAF-style thickness and warmth to the Tele that still manages to blend fantastically with the bridge pickup!

Whether you're after rich, creamy leads or jazz tones out of the neck humbucker or you're looking for sheer twang out of the bridge and effortless yet classic Fender playability, this Tele is going to take care of you for years and years to come, without a doubt.
