Fender American Preformer Telecaster

Crafted in Corona, California, the American Performer Telecaster blends classic Fender tone with modern playability to meet the demands of today's guitarist. Its alder body delivers a balanced tonal foundation, while a pair of Yosemite single-coil pickups bring dynamic range and crisp articulation.

The Greasebucket tone system lets you roll off highs without muddying your sound, giving you more control without compromise. A “Modern C” maple neck with a 9.5” radius fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets makes for smooth bends and fast, comfortable playing. Topped off with ClassicGear tuners and a slick silver ‘70s logo, it’s got both the vibe and the versatility.

There’s a small blemish on the back of the horn—only visible if you go looking for it—and it doesn’t affect playability. It’s priced accordingly, so if you’ve been eyeing a real-deal American Tele at a discount, this one’s a steal.
