Description
Born in Corona, California, the American Stratocaster HSS delivers the exceptional tone and feel you expect from a genuine Fender – with new enhancements, like the humbucking DoubleTap(TM) pickup, that make playing even more stimulating. The American Performer Stratocaster HSS model features Yosemite(TM) single-coil pickups – designed for rich, expressive tones – and a DoubleTap humbucking bridge pickup. This unique, patented design combines humbucker and single-coil voices, while eliminating volume loss in single-coil mode. Single coils feature flat staggered pole pieces for increased efficiency and a shellac coating that lets single coils breathe while controlling feedback. Combined, the Yosemite and DoubleTap pickups produce dynamic sounds ideal for any musical situation.
The American Performer Stratocaster HSS model also features a Greasebucket(TM) sound circuit, as well as push-pull tone control to activate the humbucking DoubleTap pickup. The modern “C”-shaped neck features a 9.5″ radius fingerboard suitable for almost any playing style, as well as 22 giant frets for precise, effortless bending.
