Key Features & Highlights
-
Alder Body: Lightweight yet resonant, the alder body gives you a balanced, full-bodied tone that supports everything from clean chime to overdriven grit. L.A.
-
Yosemite Single-Coil Pickups: Three Yosemite single-coil pickups designed by Fender — voiced for richness and clarity. The flat-staggered pole pieces boost output, while the shellac coating lets the coils breathe, controlling feedback for a more dynamic response.
-
Greasebucket Tone Circuitry: Shape your high end without adding mud — the Greasebucket system retains clarity even when rolling off the treble. Plus, a push-pull tone pot lets you add the neck pickup in any position, unlocking unique, musically useful voicings.
-
Modern “C”-Shaped Neck: The neck is crafted from maple, with a smooth Modern C profile that's fast, fluid, and comfortable for most playing styles.
-
Rosewood Fingerboard: A 9.5″-radius rosewood fingerboard gives a warm, natural feel under your fingers, paired with 22 jumbo frets for expressive bends and vibrato.
-
ClassicGear Tuning Machines: Vintage-inspired tuners with a modern 18:1 ratio — they look classy but dial in your tuning with precision.
-
6-Saddle Vintage-Style Tremolo: Classic Strat tremolo bridge gives you that traditional Strat feel — smooth dive-bombs, subtle vibrato, or solid tuning stability.
-
Nut & Hardware: Synthetic bone nut (1.685″ / 42.8 mm), nickel/chrome hardware, aged-white control knobs, and a 3-ply mint-green pickguard round off the vintage look.
-
Finish: The eye-catching Honey Burst finish gives it warm visual appeal — translucent over the grain, with a satin/urethane feel that’s classy without being too glossy.
-
Accessories: Comes with a deluxe gig bag — ideal for safe transport whether you're gigging, travelling, or just heading down to the jam space.
Why This Is a Standout Strat
-
Classic Meets Modern: You get the timeless Strat tone and shape, but with modern electronics (Yosemite pickups + Greasebucket) that give you more tonal flexibility than a vintage reissue.
-
Playability: The Modern C neck + jumbo frets + rosewood board = super comfortable under the fingers, whether you're a rhythm player, lead slinger, or somewhere in between.
-
Reliability: Built in the USA for ruggedness and consistency. It’s the kind of guitar that feels like “your Strat” from day one.
If you're looking for a Strat that gives you that classic Fender feel — but with contemporary upgrades so you don’t feel like you're stuck in the past — this American Performer Stratocaster Honey Burst is a killer choice. Whether at your next gig, in the studio, or practising at home, it delivers.
