Fender American Performer Stratocaster Electric Guitar, Spruce, Honey Burst

The Fender American Performer Spruce Stratocaster joins the Fender Limited Edition American Performer Timber Collection as a striking alternative to the classic Fender tonewood formula. As a collection of intriguing electric guitars, this collection pairs iconic Fender models with new body woods to form the basis for a new American Performer experience.

Starting with the basis for this collection, the American Performer Stratocaster’s iconic double-cutaway body is made of spruce and is outfitted with a fine satin Honey Burst finish. Playing with this specific model’s choice of wood, this Strat feels authentic but distinct from other Stratocasters for a dose of unique feel and resonance. This spruce is matched with a classic maple neck with its own satin finish and a fast Modern “C” profile, perfected for smooth moves across this guitar’s total scale length. A rosewood fingerboard appears on this model with twenty-two Jumbo frets that feel spacious and comfortable for easy fretting and playing. A synthetic bone nut and Fender ClassicGear tuners line the larger-styled Strat headstock for solid intonation and quick stringing.

Sonically, this American Performer comes to life with the addition of three Fender Yosemite Single-Coil Stratocaster pickups that produce charming twang and shimmer with some added tonal variety under the hood. A push/pull Greasebucket tone circuit accessible via this Strat’s second tone knobs adds the neck pickup in parallel to the second and first pickup positions for additional sonic space to play and create with. The tonality and playability of this guitar receive some extra life with a 6-Saddle Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo bridge for additional vibrato bends in playing. Finally, this guitar ships in a Fender Deluxe gig bag to ensure safe travels from one performance to the next.

For fans of the Strat and unique tonewoods alike, this American Performer Limited Edition model brings out the best with a completely different take on the time-tested formula.
