2023 Fender American Performer Stratocaster – Arctic White

The 2023 American Performer Stratocaster in Arctic White is a high-performance workhorse designed to bridge the gap between vintage style and modern utility. It features the iconic large 70s-style headstock and a classic alder body, but it’s spec'd for the modern player with 22 jumbo frets and a comfortable 9.5" radius. The Arctic White finish paired with the black plastics gives it a sharp, "tuxedo" aesthetic that stands out from the more traditional mint-green or parchment looks.

This Strat is loaded with a trio of Yosemite single-coil pickups. These use flat-staggered pole pieces and are specifically voiced for each position, offering a punchy, high-output take on the classic Strat chime. A standout feature is the Greasebucket tone circuit, which allows you to roll off the treble without adding bass or losing gain. With the added "Push/Pull" pot to activate the neck pickup in any position, this is a versatile, US-made tool built for the stage.
