With the Fender American Performer Timber Stratocaster RW Honey Burst, Fender presents a very special edition of the American Performer Stratocaster, which impresses with its exotic tonewood selection, first-class sounds and incomparable playability. The limited edition instrument from the Fender Corona Facility in California is characterized by an extended sound palette and its charming Seventies style. Furthermore, the Fender American Performer Timber Stratocaster is delivered in the matching Fender Deluxe Hardshell Case.
Spruce body with Honey Burst finish
Unlike the regular models in the American Performer series, the body of the Fender American Performer Timber Stratocaster RW Honey Burst is made from spruce. This tonewood, which has been prized in acoustic guitar and violin making for centuries, is one of the most popular top woods due to its excellent resonance properties, but is rarely used for the construction of solidbody instruments. Last but not least, the satin-finished surface of the body offers a particularly smooth armrest for unrestricted playability.
Yosemite Stratocaster single coils
For sound conversion, the Fender American Performer Timber Stratocaster has three Yosemite single coils in Strat design. The single coils known from the instruments of the American Performer series are particularly popular among Strat fans due to their special mix of Alnico 4 and Alnico 2 magnets and produce a particularly expressive tone. The push/pull function of the second tone control additionally expands the tonal spectrum by switching the neck pickup in parallel in switching positions 1 and 2.
