Fender American Performer Limited Edition Timber Spruce Stratocaster Guitar - Honeyburst

Born in Corona, California, the Limited Edition American Performer Timber Stratocaster delivers the exceptional tone and feel you expect from an authentic Fender.

The Fender American Performer Timber Series is a limited-edition USA-made line featuring unique tonewoods like Spruce, Sassafras, or Sugar Pine, paired with Yosemite pickups and Greasebucket circuitry for inspiring, versatile tones, while offering modern playability with Modern C necks and a comfortable 9.5" radius.

Spruce is the overwhelming choice of tonewood for the soundboards of the finest acoustic guitars throughout history.  Everything from pre-war Martin D-45's to Gibson J-200's to Guilds, Taylors and everything in between have used spruce tops for their unrivaled clear, resonant tone.  Similar to its appeal with acoustic guitars, spruce offers a bright, resonant, and articulate tone with excellent dynamic range when used for the body of this limited run Strat!

This guitar features a trio of Yosemite single-coil pickups, designed for rich, expressive tones. With flat-staggered pole pieces to increase output and a shellac coating that lets the coil breathe while controlling feedback, Yosemite pickups produce dynamic sounds ideal for any musical situation. A push-pull tone control adds the neck pickup in any switch position, unlocking new, musically useful tones. 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.
