Product Detail
The American Performer Telecaster, crafted in Corona, CA, combines outstanding Fender tone and real - world feel with modern materials and player - friendly features. It's designed to inspire you and take your playing to new levels. This guitar comes with Yosemite™ single - coil pickups. These pickups are made for rich, expressive tones. With flat - staggered pole pieces for more output and special coatings (shellac for the neck pickup and wax potting for the bridge pickup) to control feedback and let the coil breathe, they create dynamic sounds suitable for any music. The Greasebucket™ tone circuitry helps shape the highs without adding bass, keeping your sound intact.

Using your Fender American Performer Telecaster is easy. First, plug it into an amplifier using a standard instrument cable. Adjust the master volume and tone controls to get the sound you like. You can switch between different pickup combinations using the 3 - position toggle switch. For a bright, cutting sound, use the bridge pickup (position 1). Combine the bridge and middle pickups (position 2) for a more full - bodied tone. And the middle pickup (position 3) gives you a warmer sound. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it down after each use. If there's any dust or dirt on the strings, you can use a string cleaner. Check the tuning regularly, especially before a performance. You can use the Fender ClassicGear™ tuning machines to adjust the pitch. Also, make sure to store your guitar in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in a very humid environment, as this can damage the wood and the finish. When traveling, use the deluxe gig bag that comes with the guitar to protect it from bumps and scratches.
