Introducing the Fender American Performer Telecaster, a crowning achievement from Fender's Corona, CA. workshop. This guitar showcases the perfect blend of traditional tone, authentic feel, and modern innovations, all aimed at taking your musical abilities to unprecedented heights.
The heart of this Telecaster lies in its Yosemite single-coil pickups, specially designed to render rich and expressive tones. These pickups come with flat-staggered pole pieces that enhance output, and special coatings that allow the coil to breathe while keeping feedback under control. The result? A dynamic and adaptable sound that can fit into any musical context.
To further shape your sound, the American Performer Telecaster is equipped with the Greasebucket tone circuitry. This feature allows you to mold the highs without adding bass, preserving the originality and character of your tone.
The guitar also sports a "Modern C"-shaped neck, coupled with a 9.5"-radius fingerboard. This design makes it comfortable to play for almost any style. Plus, with 22 jumbo frets, you can bend notes effortlessly and with pinpoint accuracy.
