Here's what Fender says about the American Performer Telecaster:
A pickup system to give you raw, powerful tones. A duo of Yosemite single-coil pickups can inject unparalleled sonic aggression into your music. With their classic single-coil voice, you'll be able to play with the sound that defined rock 'n' roll.

But this is classic sound reimagined for the modern day. So Fender haven't stopped at creating exhilarating single-coil sound. With these Yosemite electronics, they've managed to develop single-coil pickups that perform with magnificent clarity, too. Gone is the unpleasant hum associated with single-coil pickups when the volume is cranked up. You can now ramp up your output without worry of interference thanks to flat-staggered pole pieces combined with shellac coating (neck pickup) and wax potting (bridge pickup). Finally, you can play without restraint.

Perform scintillating solos
Be a guitar hero. Because in the American Performer Telecaster, Fender have provided you with an instrument that'll make your lead playing easier, more intuitive, and better sounding than ever. They've fitted the guitar's neck with 22 jumbo-sized frets. This increased playing area gives you more space to work with, making it easier to hit notes, and facilitating massive string bends that can give your solos a distinctive edge.

Each note will sound amazing, too. A string-thru bridge helps increase each string's natural sustain and resonance. This means every note in every solo will ring for longer and sound clearer. Ensure every member of your audience clearly hears your thrilling lead lines. When you take to the stage with an American Performer Tele, you can feel confident that you've got an uncompromising machine of rock 'n' roll in your hands.

Tremendous tonewoods
All-conquering range. You'll never be limited in your style of play by the American Performer Tele. That's because Fender have constructed this guitar with a stunning blend of premium tonewoods, giving you an amazing, extensive tonal range.

Enjoy wonderful natural depth and resonance with an alder body. This is perfect for allowing you to play driving, invigorating power chords. The body is also lightweight, reducing the strain on your shoulders when you're stood playing for long periods.

Brightness and sharpness in each note is added by the Telecaster's maple neck. And this is further enhanced with a fantastic, crisp-sounding maple fretboard. With such definition in every note, this is the ideal guitar for solos and riffs. A tonal palette that will never restrict you.

Maximum playing comfort
A guitar that you can play for hours on end. The American Performer Telecaster's maple neck has been designed to fit naturally into the palm of your hand. Thanks to this, the instrument will feel extremely comfortable when you're holding it.

The benefits of this are twofold. Firstly, you'll be able to play on and on thanks to cramp not being an issue. Ideal for those shows that both you and your audience never want to end. You'll also be able to concentrate entirely on your creativity without discomfort distracting you or holding you back. Playing the guitar should always, above all, be enjoyable. This is an instrument that never forgets that.
