Fender American Performer Telecaster Electric Guitar, Sassafras, Mocha
The Fender American Performer Sassafras Telecaster represents a constant drive to experiment and innovate. This limited-edition model joins the Fender American Performer Timber collection as an alternative choice for players seeking a unique American Performer experience that is equal parts authentic Telecaster and strikingly different.
Beginning with its basic and perhaps most intriguing component, this American Performer’s body is formed from sassafras and is dashed with a satin Mocha finish. For a unique choice of wood, this Tele’s sassafras single-cutaway figure carries with it the classic Telecaster form but with some distinct difference in resonance and feel in large part to its choice of alternative tonewood. This sassafras is matched with a maple neck in a quick Modern “C” profile, outfitted for dynamic playing. A maple fingerboard joins the fray on this model with twenty-two Jumbo frets that feel spacious and allow for easy and quick fretting across the full scale length. A synthetic bone nut and Fender ClassicGear tuning machines line the headstock for accessible stringing and solid intonation.
The full voice of this American Performer is produced from two Fender Yosemite Single-Coil Telecaster pickups that sing with all the classic Tele twang needed for such an experience. Roll through iconic Telecaster tonality as enhanced by the choice of sassafras to blaze a unique single-coil trail. This is all topped off with this Telecaster’s 3-Saddle Vintage-Style Strings-Through-Body Tele bridge with brass barrel saddles, solidifying the entire playing experience and making for a complete Telecaster package from head to toe. A Fender Deluxe gig bag accompanies this American Performer for a road-ready instrument.
Totally, fans of Telecasters and unique tonewoods are certain to make a match with this Limited Edition model and all the fine Fender sounds that come with it.
