Fender Limited Edition American Performer Stratocaster MN, Natural Overview
The Fender Limited Edition American Performer Stratocaster MN is a unique, attractive, and easy playing guitar. Delivering modern playability through its smooth 'C' shaped neck and classic looks through its vintage hardware and '70s style headstock, it's truly a one of a kind instrument. That said, it's still brimming with sparkling tones you'd expect to find on any Fender...
Hosting a trio of Yosemite single coil pickups, the American Performer produces vibrant, detailed sonics in every position.

And all this guitar goodness is dressed in a limited-edition natural finish, so to be sure to get yours while they last!

Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe sounds of Yosemite pickups
Like the air in mountain range they’re named after, the Yosemite pickups produce crisp and beautiful tones. Sweeping from the earthy bass of the neck pickup to the snow-capped crystalline peaks of the bridge pickup, there’s a broad spectrum of tones to explore in this custom set.
Built using a mixture of alnico 4 and 2 magnets, you can expect a highly expressive response and a balanced output. Enjoy a strong bite and powerful sound that’s not compressed thanks to flat, staggered pole pieces, and imbue your songs with musical detail thanks to the articulate voicing of your playing dynamics.
Limited Edition looks
A truly special Strat. This unique take on the classic Fender icon presents you with a stunning ash body in all its glory. Finished in a thick, shiny gloss urethane coating, you’ll be able to appreciate the natural wood grain for years to come - it'll remain in pristine condition.
And what’s more, it’s paired with a black pickguard and hardware to provide a superb aesthetic contrast, and completing the sophisticated appearance of this rare guitar.
Modern performance, classic style
If you love retro style but prefer an instrument that’s a little more up to date, then this American Performer Strat is for you. Adorned with vintage appointments like the classic Fender tuning machines, a vintage style tremolo bridge and the ‘70s style headstock shape, this guitar has all the gravitas and swagger of a Fender from the golden era.
Addictive playability
It’s hard to put down. Fender have found the magic formula with their “C” shaped necks and 9.5” radius fretboards. It’s about as close to an all-rounder style as you can get and responds well to numerous playing styles. From thumb-over chording to all out shredding, you wont be restricted here.
The neck sports a satin urethane finish to provide your palm with an ultra-smooth, friction-free surface to glide along. Position changes and technical lead runs are made fluid and seamless by this graceful feel, so you’ll be able to reach your best playing heights without anything stopping you.
