Fender American Performer Stratocaster® HSS

Description

Born in Corona, CA., the American Performer Stratocaster HSS delivers the exceptional tone and feel you expect from an authentic Fender--with new enhancements, like the DoubleTap humbucking pickup. It includes the Yosemite single-coil pickups--designed for rich, expressive tones--and a DoubleTap humbucking bridge pickup. This patent-applied-for design combines humbucking and single-coil voices, while eliminating volume loss in single-coil mode. With flat-staggered pole pieces to increase output and the single-coil pickups' shellac coating and humbucking pickup's wax potting that lets the coil breathe while controlling feedback, Yosemite and DoubleTap pickups produce dynamic sounds ideal for any musical situation. It features Greasebucket™ tone circuitry, along with a push-pull tone control to control the DoubleTap humbucking pickup. The Modern C-shaped neck sports a 9.5 inch radius fingerboard along with 22 jumbo frets for effortless and accurate bending.
