Carefully crafted in Fender's Corona, California facility, the American Performer Series is designed to bring an authentic Made-In-USA Fender experience, from tone to feel, to performing guitarists. Packed with player-oriented features and utilizing a range of modern materials, these are instruments that inspire. The American Performer Telecaster HS packs all the twang and spank you expect from a Tele in an alder body/maple neck package, but with a little extra muscle. Featuring Fender's flat-staggered-pole Yosemite single-coil pickup in the bridge, plus the versatile, patent-applied-for DoubleTap humbucker in the neck position, both with subtle potting that controls feedback while still letting the pickups "breathe," in combination with Fender's renowned Greasebucket tone circuit, it's got classic Tele versatility that fits into almost any genre or playing style.
