Resonant Roasted Pine Construction

The American Performer Timber Stratocaster's body and neck are made of roasted pine, a wood prized for musical instruments. Roasting the wood stabilizes and hardens it, enhancing resonance and sustain. The golden pine gives this Strat a vintage sunburst vibe with unique grain patterns in each guitar. The wood's warmth and clarity come through in your tone, perfect for genres from blues to alternative rock.

Comfortable, Modern Neck

The American Performer Timber Strat's modern neck provides a comfortable playing experience. Its 9.5" radius fingerboard suits almost any playing style. The 22 jumbo frets make bending and fretting effortless and accurate. The neck's Modern C shape offers a familiar feel Fender is known for. Overall, the neck's design promotes seamless transitions up and down the fingerboard.
