The Fender Limited Edition American Performer Timber Telecaster in Mocha features a Sassafras body! A tonewood not often built used by Fender but a nice alternative to Swamp Ash, not only tonally but also with it's grain structure.
Swamp Ash supplies are dwindling. With more guitars than ever being built on a daily basis, we are using more wood than ever before. Companies are looking for alternatives and Sassafras has popped up a few times in recent years. It's somewhere in-between Alder and Ash giving it an immediately familiar sound.
Born in Corona, California, the Limited Edition American Performer Timber Telecaster combines exceptional Fender tone and authentic feel with modern materials and player-oriented features designed to inspire while propelling your playing to new heights.
This guitar features a set of Yosemite™ single-coil pickups, designed for rich, expressive tones. With flat-staggered pole pieces to increase output and coatings that let the coil breathe while controlling feedback - a shellac coating for the neck pickup and wax potting for the bridge pickup - Yosemite pickups produce dynamic sounds ideal for any musical situation. The American Performer Telecaster also features Greasebucket™ tone circuitry to shape the highs without adding bass, preserving your sound. 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 Telecaster 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.
