Fender American Performer Telecaster S/H - Aubergine with Gig Bag

The American Performer Telecaster: A Classic Reimagined in Aubergine

Premium Fender Craftsmanship Made in the USA

Crafted in Corona, California, the Fender American Performer Telecaster S/H is a modern twist on the timeless Tele formula. This right-handed beauty boasts a satin-finished maple neck with a Modern “C” profile, topped with a rosewood fingerboard and jumbo frets for smooth playability across a 25.5-inch scale length. Whether you’re laying down rhythm or peeling off solos, the American Performer delivers a fast, responsive feel that’s built for the modern player.

Yosemite Single Coil Meets DoubleTap Humbucker

This Tele’s voice comes from a distinctive S/H pickup configuration. At the bridge, a Yosemite single-coil delivers that unmistakable Tele twang with enhanced clarity. Up at the neck, the American Performer DoubleTap humbucker offers thick, warm tones, and thanks to a push/pull pot, you can split the coils for extra sonic flexibility. The Greasebucket tone circuit adds to the tonal control, rolling off highs without muddying your sound.

Vintage Feel with Modern Enhancements

Fender didn’t hold back on hardware. You get a 3-saddle vintage-style Tele bridge with brass barrel saddles for classic resonance and sustain, while the nickel/chrome ClassicGear tuners offer smooth, stable tuning. The 3-ply black/white/black pickguard and vintage-style strap buttons complete the retro-forward vibe, contrasting beautifully against the deep aubergine gloss urethane finish.

Thoughtful Electronics and Versatile Switching

The control layout is straightforward but powerful: a master volume and tone knob paired with a 3-position blade switch lets you toggle between bridge, neck, or both pickups. Add in the coil-splitting option and you’ve got a versatile machine that can cover everything from clean country to gritty rock with ease.

Road-Ready with a Deluxe Gig Bag

Whether you're hitting the stage or the studio, this American Performer Telecaster ships with a Fender gig bag for easy and secure transport. At 7.86 pounds and built with a solid alder body, this axe is ready to be played all night long while looking sharp every step of the way.
