The Fender American Performer Stratocaster combines Fender tradition with American-made quality and modern versatility, coming equipped with a trio of Yosemite single-coil pickups with shellac coating and flat-staggered pole pieces for hot output with minimal sustain. The Greasebucket circuitry offers rich, dynamic tone and push-pull tone control adds or subtracts the neck pickup in any switching position. The solid maple neck is carved to a “Modern Câ€� profile and the 9.5-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets offers excellent playability and easy bending no matter the playing style. Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fenderâ€TMs Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the worldâ€TMs first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the worldâ€TMs leading guitar manufacturer. The Fender American Performer Series makes American-made quality accessible to every player. Six new models, handcrafted in Corona, California, highlight the traditional design of Fenderâ€TMs most celebrated guitars, while adding new innovations and modern components to enhance tone, performance, and feel.
