Born in Corona, California, the Limited Edition American Performer Timber Stratocaster offers the outstanding tone and feel you'd expect from a genuine Fender. This guitar comes with three Yosemite™ single - coil pickups, crafted for rich and expressive tones. The flat - staggered pole pieces boost output, and the shellac coating allows the coil to 'breathe' while controlling feedback, creating dynamic sounds suitable for any music genre. A push - pull tone control adds the neck pickup in any switch position, opening up new and useful tones. The 'Modern C' shaped neck has a 9.5” - radius fingerboard that fits almost any playing style, along with 22 jumbo frets for easy and accurate bending.

Using this Fender American Performer Timber Stratocaster is a breeze. First, tune your guitar using the Fender® ClassicGear™ tuning machines. Plug it into an amplifier and you're ready to play. You can adjust the tone using the push - pull tone control to get different sounds. When it comes to maintenance, keep the guitar in the deluxe gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent rust. Every few months, check the frets for any signs of wear. If you notice the action getting too high or the intonation is off, it might be time to take it to a professional for a setup. Also, make sure to store the guitar in a place with stable temperature and humidity to avoid warping of the neck or body.
