FENDER American Performer Stratocaster RW Honey Burst
USA made Stratocaster electric guitar with Yosemite Single-Coils and Greasebucket Tone Circuit
A true Strat from the Fender factory in California, the Fender American Performer Stratocaster RW Honey Burst represents classic single-coil tones. Equipped with three Yosemite single-coil pickups with stepped pole pieces that are specially wound for warm and expressive sounds, the American Performer Strat produces a lively sound balanced across the strings. The tone control plays a special role in this Strat. Not only does it offer a classic treble roll-off with the Greasebucket Tone Circuit, without adding bass to the signal, but also a push/pull function for activating the neck pickup in any switching position. The Fender American Performer Stratocaster RW Honey Burst includes a gig bag.

Yosemite Single Coils
Designed specifically for the American Performer Series, the Yosemite Single Coils follow the traditional Fender single-coil design and deliver the coveted sounds of the Fifties and Sixties in neck, mid and bridge positions. The result is a versatile single-coil sound with dynamic response. Last but not least, the push/pull function of the second tone control allows the neck pickup to be switched in any position for warm neck sounds.

Fender American Performer Stratocaster RW (Honey Burst)
Great sounding and very well done guitar. I have also Stratocaster -74 (near to 4 kg weight) and this Performer is easier to work with. Very good pickups.
Highly recommended.

For an instrument made in the USA it is inexpensive
For an instrument made in the USA it is inexpensive. I love the finishing and also the pickups. I already have Yosemite pickups installed in a Telecaster-partcaster. The neck is well finished. (fret work) The body is beautiful. The setup just ok, playable, but not the as good as I could expect. I would have loved the usual Fender headstock. I am not very fan of the bigger one. I recommend this instrument for any one who would wish to have an American Fender Stratocaster without spending the usual price.
