The Telecaster is inextricably woven into the history of Rock music, and Fender is keeping this spirit well and truly alive with the American Performer Telecaster RW HBST. This guitar is built at Fender USA's main plant in Corona, California and combines all of the hallmarks of a "genuine" Tele, including an alder body, a slim-taper maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, and most importantly of all, a set of Yosemite pickups. These have been designed specifically for the American Performer series and feature coils that have been specially "potted" to suppress unwanted noise even at high gain levels and make this an extremely versatile guitar that will suit a variety of musical styles. The American Performer Telecaster RW HBST comes in an appealing "Honey Burst" finish, and the scope of delivery also includes a sturdy gig bag to allow the guitar to be transported safely.

The legendary Tele sound
The Telecaster has a long-standing reputation as a "guitarists' guitar", known for its outstanding playability and equally at home in Country, Blues, and Rock. Players can expect nothing less from the American Performer Telecaster RW HBST, which is optimally equipped to uphold the Tele's reputation with its comfortable maple neck and rosewood fingerboard complete with 22 jumbo frets. Despite the old adage of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", some tweaks are still worth making, and that is why this guitar features Fender's new "Greasebucket" tone circuit, which keeps the signal from the two Yosemite pickups punchy and dynamic even when the treble is rolled off via the tone control. And the authentic Tele look would not be complete without the classic "ashtray"-style bridge, which also adds an extra portion of "twang" to the sound. And last but not least, the headstock is adorned with six ClassicGear machine heads that ensure reliable tuning at all times.

An affordable "Made In USA" Tele
Despite the fact that it is made at Fender's main factory in Corona, California, the American Performer Telecaster comes at a very attractive price - which makes this guitar in its eyecatching Honey Burst finish particularly interesting for guitarists who are looking for a Tele that will deliver outstanding quality and uncompromising reliability but who don't have a fortune to spend on it. These players should be just as delighted by the comfortable modern C-shape neck as by the Yosemite pickups with their modernised Greasebucket circuit, with which they can unleash everything from crystalline cleans to overdriven sounds. Whatever sound they favour, however, guitarists can always be sure of the punch, presence, and massive headroom with which Telecasters are synonymous.
