Overview

An inspiring Stratocaster with versatile tone-shaping controls.

The Fender American Performer Timber Stratocaster Sassafras electric guitar provides the exceptional tone and feel you've come to expect from an authentic Stratocaster—with enhancements that make it more inspiring to play than ever.

Resonant Tonewood Construction

The American Performer Timber Stratocaster features a body made of sassafras, a wood prized for musical instruments, and a neck crafted from maple. Sassafras is known for its lightweight yet durable properties, enhancing resonance and sustain. The natural tones of sassafras give this Strat a vintage sunburst vibe with unique grain patterns in each guitar. The wood's warmth and clarity come through in your tone, making it 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.

Yosemite Pickups Provide Articulate Tone

This guitar features a set of Yosemite single-coil pickups designed for expressive, dynamic sound. The pickups have flat-staggered pole pieces for even output and a wax potting that tames feedback. The bridge pickup gives you cutting treble and midrange for solos, while the neck pickup delivers smooth lows and low mids ideal for chords and complex chording. Use the 5-way switch to blend pickups for everything from glassy funk tones to full humbucker-like saturation.

Versatile Tonal Options

You'll appreciate the tonal versatility the American Performer Timber Strat offers. Its Greasebucket tone circuitry and push-pull tone control add the neck pickup in any switch position, unlocking musically useful tones. Find your signature sound through mixing the neck, middle and bridge pickups or sticking to your favorite. The possibilities this guitar provides are endless.
