Fender American Performer Telecaster, Rosewood, Honeyburst Overview
Reliable, trustworthy, and functional, the much loved Fender Telecaster is the original workhorse guitar, and as part of Fender's American Performer series - a range of superbly crafted USA models with accessible price tags - it has evolved into an authentic looking, but modern, and extremely playable instrument.
Adhering to the classic design, the robust Alder body feels lively, resonant, and familiar, while the understated Honeyburst finish ensures that the guitar not only looks the part, but is also fully prepared for both the rigours of the road, and years of ownership. Working well with almost any playing style, the superbly comfortable Modern “C” shaped Maple neck is also finished in smooth but tough urethane, and is perfectly complimented by the 9.5" radius Rosewood fingerboard; 22 jumbo frets add to the instrument's superbly positive and highly playable feel.
Handcrafted in Corona, USA, the two Yosemite® Single-Coil pickups have been specifically voiced for each position, and their lively tones are alive with classic Tele bark and growl. Sonic versatility is ensured by Fender's excellent Greasebucket Tone System, which allows the treble to be cut without loss of gain or "muddying" the sound. Other great features include new 18:1 ratio ClassicGear Tuning Machines, a synthetic bone nut, classic dot inlays, and a vintage style 3-Saddle String-Thru Tele® Bridge.
