Description
The Fender American Performer Stratocaster HSS is a US made electric guitar with features designed for inspiring playability and tone. The American Performer Stratocaster HSS comes equipped with Fender Yosemite single-coil pickups and a DoubleTap humbucking pickup in the bridge position, providing a range of classic Stratocaster tones as well as higher-output humbucker sounds. A push-pull tone pot activates the neck pickup and Fender's Greasebucket circuit rolls off highs without reducing gain. The modern C-shaped maple neck has a 9.5" fingerboard radius and 22 jumbo frets for effortless playability.
Yosemite Pickups Produce Dynamic, Nuanced Tones
The American Performer Stratocaster HSS includes a pair of Fender Yosemite single-coil pickups, designed to produce rich, expressive tones with a musical and highly articulate voice. The DoubleTap humbucker in the bridge position combines full humbucking and single-coil voices in one pickup while eliminating volume loss in single-coil mode, providing a range of sounds ideal for any musical situation.
Versatile Electronics Shape Your Sound
A push-pull pot activates the neck pickup and Fender's popular Greasebucket circuit rolls off highs without reducing gain. The 5-way blade switch selects pickup combinations from full neck tone to full bridge tone, with all the classic in-between settings that Strat players know and love.
Fast, Comfortable Neck Inspires Effortless Playing
The modern C-shaped maple neck has a 9.5" radius fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets, providing a fast, comfortable playing feel for almost any style. The alder body with gloss polyester finish gives the American Performer Stratocaster HSS a classic look and balanced, full tone.
Legendary Stratocaster Bridge and Tuning Machines
The American Performer Stratocaster HSS features Fender's 6-screw Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo bridge for expressive pitch-bending effects and Fender ClassicGear tuning machines for precise, stable tuning.
