Description
Put a humbucking pickup on a Tele and you’re smokin’, but load it up with a single-coil Yosemite pickup and a DoubleTap humbucking pickup with single-coil mode and no volume loss and you’re on fire. Fender’s American Performer Telecaster Hum pairs this unique patent-applied-for humbucker and pickup set with Greasebucket circuitry for rich, dynamic tone with incredible control, as well as a solid maple neck carved to a “Modern C” profile with a 22-fret, 9.5-radius rosewood fingerboard for excellent playability and easy bending.
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.
The Fender American Performer Series makes American-made quality accessible to every player. Six new models, handcrafted in Corona, California, highlight the traditional design of Fender’s most celebrated guitars, while adding new innovations and modern components to enhance tone, performance, and feel.
