Hi, first one of your videos I've come across and it's great, I particularly love how you have the pickup configuration diagram always visible so as a viewer there's no ambiguity about which position you're playing in. Such a small thing but super helpful, I personally think all guitar demo videos should do this!
These are amazing guitars. I think the ''Performer Series'' is the finest...and I've been purchasing guitars since 1970. I have an original 1970 CBS Fender Strat , still in excellent shape today, which is worth alot today but the Performer blows it away for miles! About 3 yrs ago I got the first Performer Strat , Alpine White, after getting one of the last American Special Strats in the shop. I eventually went back and purchased three more Performer Strats & Performer Tele . NO problems with any of them. They all stay in tune and attach a JHS Morning Glory & A Fulltone Clyde Wah pedal to this guitar and you get a vintage Blues Strat tone. The choices of tonal blends you get with Performers is utterly superb.
Sounds great. I am seriously considering picking one of these up, but I have been hesitant because I worry about noise or hum from the pickups. I have a Fender Player Plus Stat with Fender noiseless pickups. Is there any problem with audible hum from the single coil pickups?
I feel you man! I remember those days begging mom and dad to get me an American guitar. They finally did when I was about 20 and in college, a Gibson Flying V. Love that thing. Anyways man keep playing and you’ll have all the guitars you’re dreaming of someday!
Hey buddy, I'm 44 and just recently finally started to get the Dream Gear I wanted since 12 yrs old. Don't ger discouraged, it takes time. Also never quit playing man!
I walked into a guitar store to buy strings. But they had an 2010 American special in a hardcase for sale. I had so many strats, squiers or fender player. But this one was another beast, 2 piece body and so so so much resonance. For me it was a no brainer with texas specials in them.
Great review and playing! Thank you! I am seriously considering picking one of these up, but I have been hesitant because I worry about noise or hum from the pickups. I have a Fender Player Plus Stat with Fender noiseless pickups, which I love but am thinking the Performer would be a cut above. Is there any problem with audible hum from the single coil pickups? BTW, have you tried the Start through an Ibanez TS Tube Screamer (gain at zero, level all the way up)? I have found that this fattens up the tone of a Strat immeasurably.
@@danielferrer9464 Well, yes, I would imagine that at the breaking the sound barrier levels he played at, any 60 cycle hum from the guitar would seem pin-drop quiet by comparison.
I just got one and was a bit confused with the five different pickup options as I came from mostly using a Les Paul and wasn't sure what each one did. Thank you so much for the diagram showing which pickups are enabled during this video as it helped me understand something that probably seems obvious but wasn't to me lol.
you are a google search away from those kind of questions; have own both LP and Strats; jaguar and jazzmasters have their unique configurations, can change between models
Watching this with my one lying against the side of the bed. When I saw the slotted tuners I thought my ones had the string-through. I looked and realised that they were slotted. I need to do a string change if I can’t remember the tuner type and had it for four years. 😊
Performer fender series are just great for me, I got one strat and I'm thinking of purchasing a P bass from the same series =) great video by the way. Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪 😃
Nice review mate! Quick question about the neck is it like a fat neck or a slimmer type of profile? I'm torn between this model and an Ibanez RG550. Cheers man!
Hi Nico. Does the front of the neck have any finish on it? I know the back of the neck has a satin finish? Thank you. Nice review video!- Brent, VT USA
It's the original strings, according to Fender website: Fender® USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel (.009-.042 Gauges) I've seen some people adding two springs at the back of the bridge to improve tuning stability if that helps :)
Well I really enjoy my 2019 hss performer. I've played the one in the video many times and its just as good. I have no regrets. That being said, I feel like it's the same old cliché. Once you go American, you won't go back. I still enjoy my 2001 Made in Mexico stratocaster thats been upgraded with noiseless pickups. Today I went to guitar center and tried to compare the new player mim series to the new professional 2 series. There is no comparison. The new pro2 is awesome!
@@urgidover the pro 2 is awesome. There are light body shaping features on the pro2 that make it more comfortable. Personally I think the pickups sound better on the pro2 vs. the performers Yosemite pickups. The only option I had at the time I purchased my performer was the pro1. At that time, you couldn't split the humbucker on the pro, the body contours weren't that big of a deal and for the price the performer was right for me at the time. Now? If I can get a pro 2 and split the humbucker, which you can now, it only comes down to cost, sound of pickups, and body shape/weight. Now that the honeymoon stage is over with my performer. I will say there was a moment when I thought about trading it in for the pro2. However its so close, I'd rather split hairs on amps and pedals.
The pickups on the pro2 are more balanced sounding. They seems to have a natural compression type sound to me, which I love. The performers Yosemite pickups are thinner sounding, probably cut a little better.
@@JimmyWatfordGuitar thanks for the explanation, I had the performer but I thinking to trade it for the pro2. Dark night color is my favorite so I don't know what to do. I think I need some time to think about it.
@urgidover I'm in the same boat as you. 🙂 I'm in the market for strats. I got my eyes on the American Original, this performer, and the professional 2. I can't decide which one. lol I appreciate Jimmy's info/comment.
Yeah I paid $1199 for my Performer Telecaster and now they go for $1399. Your right though, it’s worth it for what you get. I absolutely love my honeyburst telecaster. Now I’m looking into the Performer Stratocaster as well. Just trying to figure out which color to get. Happy for you and hope you love your new guitar.
I have this guitar but it has huge frets. It's odd because I also have a Richie Kotzen Tele, and I believe both guitars use the 6100 fret wire but the strat almost feels like a scalloped neck at times, which I don't like. The Kotzen Tele, despite its huge C shape neck is so much "softer/buttery" to play.
Does anyone know what kind of pickguard to buy for the American performer? I’ve heard they don’t fit regular modern pickguard and I can find info online
Just go play both everyone’s taste is different. But the player pickups are much better. Yosemite pickups get lost in a mix if you play with other instruments.
Hi Nico! I have bought exactly the same Strat as you have also based upon your review. Although I have been using it with a very basic cheap combo, it has sounded nice! But the time to purchase a better combo to it has arrived. What combo are you using in your vid? Or any suggestions? Tube/valve vs solid s? I should be very happy to hear any feedback, cause I live in a very small village (in Hungary) isolated from all other guitarists. But internet gets us connected! :) Rock on! :)
Hey Péter! Actually I've also been using cheap combos and/or amp simulations for a while as I've started moving places a lot, at the moment I'm playing on the Spark, that is a pretty cheap amp but I like it cause I can get plenty of different sounds super simply. Otherwise in terms of proper amps, from what I've tried I liked the Vox AC15, Marshall DSL's and I also tried a Orange tube head (I think it was TH30), haven't tried any of these with the new Strat though! Overall I definitely prefer tube amps, but I guess you need to live in a place where you don't have close neighbours 😅
@@NicoSoro I see. At present I only have the 90$ Blackstar Debut 15E. It meets the requirements of a temporary practice amp, but I wanna purchase an amp motivating me more. Based upon reviews I like Vox AC15, Blackstar Studio 10 KT88, and I also like the Roland Blues Cube Stage 60w, a solid s combo. Thanx for trying to help me! :)
@@gordospeti thanks for making this video review. I have an American Performer Telecaster and want this Stratocaster as well. These Performers are great USA made guitars for the price. Although they have gone up to $1399 from $1199 I still think it’s worth it for the great guitar you end up with. Also wanted to mention that I have a Roland blues cube hot for home use and it is perfect for that as the power can go down to .5 watts. Also has a headphone jack for playing without disturbing others. I use pedals for more tone shaping but honestly I could do just fine with the amp alone. I can’t say enough about these blues cubes from Roland. Great stuff. Take care
if you buy a good guitar, you will also need a good tube amp. Somesay fender is with fender and gibson is with marshall. I have a LP and a Marshall DSL 40 CR, I just ordered this exact fender performer (i will not buy a fender tube amp for the fender performer haha)
@@donaldallen4285 yes I have the American performer as well and the Yosemite pickups are not noiseless pickups. Maybe you aren’t using enough gain or playing loud enough to hear the hum but it’s definitely there.
So what are the primary differences between this build and a Mexican-built Strat. I picked up a MexiStrat and it is unbelievable in terms of sound and feel. Also it is an HSS though.
Main two I can think of would be: Pickups, Alnicos vs. Yosemite Bridges, 2-points vs. 6-points I've played both, and they both sound and feel great, I went for the Performer for the lake placid blue color and the long term value I'd say :)
Nico Soro can’t argue with your logic- that color of blue is gorgeous. Is yours the one with Yosemite pickups? Also did you get maple fretboard one purpose? I personally prefer them over rosewoods
@@markslima1557 Yes the Performer comes with the Yosemite pickups and the push-pull neck activation function :) Yeah the maple fretboard was just because I prefer the bright colour, but I don't think you can chose the neck type with the blue colour unfortunately.
well Mr. Hank Scorpio, I have owned both th Mexican players stratocaster and the American performer. they are both incredible. I kept the honeyburst performer. everything was perfect and the finish & frets were a bit better
I think yosemite pickups are the worst pickups ever made for a strat. If you play alone they are OK, sweet sound, but if you play with the band you don't even know if you're playing. You loose the original sound of a strat! I own a performer and a Mexican player strat. Result is I changed pickups at the performer (custom 69)but I lways play with the player strat. Great output and great original stratocaster sound
Hey James, I’ve only played the Player Strat in a music store so I can’t really say value wise which is better. I personally like both, but they’re very very different guitars, how they play and sound. So you should definitely try them both if you can ;) But to answer your question, if I could only pick one, I’d go with the Strat because of how comfortable they are to play!
@@NicoSoro Thanks for the response Nico! I definitely agree that they are so much more ergonomical to play than the epiphone.. I actually have been playing both for a while now but I cannot decide on one! I love the dark / warm sound of Epiphone but the clear / bright / unique sound of the Strat.. I really can't decide which one will be my first guitar but hopefully I'll figure it out!
I have the Les Paul and I really love it! I think both are good guitars it just depends on your taste and what sounds you like. Only problem I have with the Les Paul is tuning. I think the tuners turn when I put it in the case because of the shape of the headstock rest.
@@thetanman2233 Yeah, I just really wanted a new one. I know it's silly but I really want my guitars brand new so I can make my own history with it if it's a keeper.
@@EricCPOP no doubt. But anything for sale in this case would likely be extremely lightly used. I saw they had some new on guitar center’s websites but who knows how long that will last. Hope you get one!
I just bought the last one at my local store. I'm very happy with the guitar except for the nut. The open strings sound muddy compare to any fretted note. Is that normal? Anyone with the same problem?
agreed, those pickups sound like crap. i always replace the stock pickups in my guitars, unless im buying top of the line. Throw a lil59 in the bridge and some antiquities in the middle and neck, now youre talkin!!!
to me, those pickups sound like crap with gain on them. i would replace humbucker with a duncan 59 or a pearly gates. Antiquities in the middle and neck for me! then its KILLER!!!!
Excellent description of the features. Well done. Thanks for that. But lose that lame background music. It's pretty distracting from what you're saying.

I have it, the LPB, 1 year now, I must admit, the colour looks better in real than on the picture. Then I love that guitar, It's so, so versatile.
Yeah I really cannot put it down! such a nice instrument :)
I bought that same exact strat and I love it. Worth every penny.
i did aswell plays better than my les paul studio
Nice demo. Thanks for keeping it simple and making it easier to get an idea of the tone out of each pick-up and the combos there of.
Thanks for watching! 😊
That guitar looks gorgeous! I really want to own one soon since I'm still too young to afford one. Thanks for the great content!

The main distinguishing factors are - Modern C shape neck (which makes it very comfortable); and Jumbo frets. These have to be explored in a review.

Sounds nice in all positions other than the solo bridge pup, which I find quite unpleasant.
Not a fan of the "satin" finish at all, I'm afraid.
The middle position also has the neck added, there is clearly more of the neck sound to be precise when the knob is pulled.
this guitar is so beautiful
I agree!
Man I just now half hour ago will my wife just ordered that exact guitar for me 30 minutes ago I can't wait to get it
Ordered mine a few days ago and impatiently waiting for it...

American strats usually come with great fret work
Does the tremolo stay in tune when using?
Saving up for one i cant wait to have one
Those tuners are my favorite!
Sounds really nice, and super versatile. How do you find the (supposedly) less noisy pickups on the two and four positions?
Just got this, the neck and middle pups together is my favorite position on this guitar. Probably the best 4 position in a strat.
They are noiseless pickups. No noise at all. I have the same exact strat and I love it.

Nice and interesting guitar model, but the headstock is just so wrong... way to big
