Fender first unveiled its American Performer Series in late 2018, and now the company has added to the line with the limited-edition Raw Ash Stratocaster and Telecaster electric guitars.
Like all American Performer models, the new guitars boast Yosemite pickups and a Greasebucket tone circuit, which makes it possible to cut treble without loss of gain or clarity.
Both guitars also sport a satin-finished solid ash body, modern “C” shaped maple neck, a 22-fret, 9.5-inch radius maple fingerboard and ClassicGear tuners.
The Tele comes with a thru-body Fender six-saddle Tele bridge, while the Strat swaps in a six-point synchronized tremolo.
Both models are currently available - for a limited time only - priced at $1,249.99 each.

“A less idiosyncratic, more intuitive but still distinctly handsome machine. It plays and feels like a much more modern proposition”: Gretsch Professional Series Hollow Body Tennessean review
