This Fender Limited Edition American Performer Pine Stratocaster in 2-Color Sunburst is brand new and includes its original hardshell case, case candy, and certificate of authenticity. This guitar is part of a Limited Edition Run that celebrates the 70th Anniversary of the Stratocaster!
Two things are worthy of noting right off the bat. 1st, the body is made from Pine, a less often used tonewood that has seen a resurgence in recent years, what with Ash supplies dwindling. And it has a Satin Urethane Finish on it, giving it a Matte look instead of the usual full-gloss. One FINAL thing worth noting is that this Strat weighs just 6 lbs 12 oz! That's exceptionally light for a Strat, a true feather weight.
"Born in Corona, California, the Limited Edition American Performer Timber Stratocaster delivers the exceptional tone and feel you expect from an authentic Fender.
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.
The Limited Edition American Performer Timber Stratocaster is available in three beautiful tonewood options. Choose Sassafras with a satin Mocha finish, Sugar Pine with a satin 2-Color Sunburst finish, or Spruce with a satin Honey Burst finish.
