Classic Strat sound and style, aimed at performing guitarists.
The Fender American Performer Stratocaster brings together the best of classic and modern design for today's guitarist. This iconic solid alder-body electric guitar features the Fender Yosemite staggered pole single-coil pickups, providing balanced and dynamic tone. The synchronized tremolo bridge allows for expressive vibrato effects while maintaining tuning stability. With a modern "C"-shaped neck profile and 9.5" fingerboard radius, you'll find a comfortable playing feel across the maple neck and fingerboard. The Fender American Performer Stratocaster gives you flexible tonal options, including a push/pull pot to add the neck pickup to any switch position.
Yosemite Pickups Deliver Balanced Tone and Dynamics
The unique Yosemite pickups in the American Performer Stratocaster are designed for balanced tone and dynamics across all pickup positions. The staggered pole pieces even out the string-to-string response, giving you clear highs, tight lows and scooped mids when soloing the bridge or neck pickups. Combine the pickups and the Yosemites excel at everything from sparkling cleans to raunchy overdrive. The flat-staggered configuration also reduces hum so you get noise-free tone. With Alnico V magnets, the Yosemite pickups capture the warmth and nuance of your playing.
Get Expressive With the Synchronized Tremolo Bridge
The Fender synchronized tremolo bridge unlocks expressive techniques on the American Performer Stratocaster. From gentle vibrato to dive bombs, the six-point mounting keeps the bridge flush on the body for maximum energy transfer. The vintage-style bent steel saddles add resonant overtones to your tone. Combined with the tremolo arm, you can emulate the sounds of your favorite guitar heroes. Even with heavy use of the whammy bar, the American Performer Stratocaster stays in tune thanks to the synchronized tremolo design.
Comfortable Modern C-Shaped Neck Profile
Designed for playing comfort across styles, the American Performer Stratocaster features a modern C-shaped neck profile. The smooth contours fit comfortably in your hand. Combined with the 9.5" fingerboard radius, you'll find fast riffing and soloing a breeze anywhere on the 22-fret maple fingerboard. The satin finish on the back of the maple neck lets your hand glide up and down effortlessly. The modern profile provides a familiar feel for electric guitarists while updated for contemporary techniques.
Flexible Tones With a Push/Pull Pot
Get more tonal options from the American Performer Stratocaster with the push/pull pot on the volume knob. In the standard position, you get the classic Fender 5-way pickup selections. Pull up on the volume knob and it adds in the neck pickup to any switch position, allowing unique in-between tones. For example, combine the bridge and neck pickups for a fatter lead tone in position one. The push/pull pot expands the versatile voice of the American Performer Strat.
