Description
The Fender American Performer Telecaster Hum is an instrument that beautifully encapsulates the marriage of classic and contemporary design. Crafted in Corona, California, this guitar infuses the iconic Telecaster design with modern features that are sure to captivate players of all skill levels.
The guitar flaunts a sophisticated satin surf green finish that immediately commands attention. The '70s-inspired silver logo on the headstock adds an extra layer of vintage charm, perfectly balancing the modern aesthetic. This Telecaster's comfort and playability are enhanced by a smooth 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets, making it a joy to play for extended periods.
The heart of the American Performer Telecaster lies in its unique pairing of Yosemite single-coil and DoubleTap humbucking pickups. The Yosemite pickup offers a vintage tonal balance that can deliver an aggressive punch when needed, while the DoubleTap humbucker uses Alnico V magnets to produce a solid, assertive sound. The innovative push-pull coil tap allows for an extensive range of tonal textures without volume loss. Fender's proprietary Greasebucket tone circuitry lets you roll off the highs without adding bass, ensuring that your tone remains bright and clear even at the lowest settings.

- Made in Fender's state-of-the-art Corona, California factory
- Yosemite single-coil bridge pickup with flat-staggered pole pieces for a vintage tonal balance
