Overview

Born in Corona, California, the Fender American Performer Stratocaster HSS delivers the exceptional tone and feel you expect from an authentic Fender with enhancements, like the DoubleTap humbucking pickup, that make it even more inspiring to play.

The American Performer Stratocaster HSS includes the Yosemite single-coil pickupsdesigned for rich, expressive tones and a DoubleTap humbucking bridge pickup. This unique, 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 & DoubleTap pickups produce dynamic sounds ideal for any musical situation. The American Performer Stratocaster HSS also 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"-radius fingerboard that's comfortable for almost any playing style, along with 22 jumbo frets for effortless and accurate bending.

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.

I bought the Surf Green version. I must say that this guitar has easily become my favorite guitar to pick up. Everytime I play this guitar I feel like I'm in love all over again. The Yosemite pick ups are awesome, clean tones are superb and shine. And with the humbucker you can get some great tonal options as well. I even use this guitar for heavier types of metal. I'm super happy with this guitar and I'll enjoy picking this thing up for years to come. The build quality is also top notch. No issues with fret buzz or dead notes. Upon inspection of the cavity the wiring is done proper and clean. I swapped the tuners out with some gold fender locking tuners just to sweeten the deal. Dont think , just buy. You'll be super happy. Also shout out to zZounds for making it possible to purchase quality instruments with their pay as you play option. Awesome customer service and great packaging and timely delivery.
