Born in Corona, California, the limited - edition American Performer Timber Stratocaster offers the outstanding tone and feel that true Fender fans expect. This guitar is equipped with three Yosemite™ single - coil pickups. These pickups are crafted for rich, expressive tones. The flat - staggered pole pieces boost the output, and the shellac coating allows the coil to breathe while controlling feedback, resulting in dynamic sounds suitable for all musical styles. A push - pull tone control adds the neck pickup in any switch position, opening up new, musically useful tones. The 'Modern C' shaped neck has a 9.5” - radius maple fingerboard, which is comfortable for almost any playing style, and 22 jumbo frets for easy and accurate bending. Specifications include a Stratocaster® body shape made of pine with a satin urethane finish, a 'Modern C' neck profile, black dot fretboard inlays, Yosemite® single - coil pickups, a 6 - saddle vintage - style synchronized tremolo bridge, a 3 - ply black pickguard, Fender® USA 250L nickel - plated steel strings, Fender® ClassicGear™ tuning machines, nickel/chrome hardware finish, and it comes with a deluxe gig bag.
Using your Fender American Performer Timber Stratocaster is a breeze. First, plug it into an amplifier using a standard instrument cable. You can adjust the tone and volume controls to your liking. The push - pull tone control is a great feature to experiment with, as it can add the neck pickup in any switch position for new tones. When it comes to playing styles, the comfortable 'Modern C' neck and 9.5” - radius fingerboard work well for both strumming and soloing. As for maintenance, keep your guitar clean by wiping it down with a soft cloth after each use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the wood and hardware. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull or lose their tension. You can also give the fretboard a light cleaning with a fretboard cleaner every few months. And when you're not using your guitar, store it in the included deluxe gig bag to protect it from scratches and dust.
