Experimental tremolo sound
Craft your own distinctive voice. The American Performer Strat comes equipped with a Fender Vintage-Style Synchronised Tremolo bridge. This allows you to experiment with the legendary tremolo effect in your music. You'll easily be able to inject a unique edge into your solos using the guitar's whammy bar. Create a sound that's entirely your own.
Top-class electronics
Incredible tone. A trio of Yosemite single-coil pickups is expertly tailored to give you wide-reaching, all-encompassing sound that's ready for both the stage and the studio. They maintain the rawness of the classic single-coil sound, giving you the iconic Strat rock 'n' roll tones that have been heard in rock music for decades.
That's not all. These modern pickups have been developed to deliver vintage Strat sound with none of the hum or noise that single-coil pickups often suffer from. You can play at the very highest outputs thanks to volume-increasing flat-staggered pole pieces. Ideal for performance in even the largest venues. Clarity is retained flawlessly thanks to feedback-eliminating shellac coating.
You'll gain total control over your overall sound, too. A 5-way pickup switch allows you to select five different pickup combinations, providing you with a plethora of soundscapes to choose from. You've never had choice like it.
Maximum playing comfort
A guitar that you can play for hours on end. The American Performer Stratocaster's maple neck has been designed to fit naturally into the palm of your hand. Thanks to this, the instrument will feel extremely comfortable when you're holding it.
The benefits of this are twofold. Firstly, you'll be able to play on and on thanks to cramp not being an issue. Ideal for those shows that both you and your audience never want to end. You'll also be able to concentrate entirely on your creativity without discomfort distracting you or holding you back.
