Fender American Performer Stratocaster HSS Review

Best Guitar I've Ever Played

I purchased this guitar a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. Pictures do not do it justice as it is absolutely stunning in person. The matte satin green is unlike anything I've ever seen before, and it looks incredible with the Maple Fretboard. It is so easy to play, sounds amazing, and is a guitar that I can confidently say will be with me for the rest of my life. I also… read more want to give a quick shoutout to the Sweetwater Customer service team. I noticed a week later after my purchase there was a sizable crack on the side of my guitar from shipping, and they couldn't have been nicer about the situation. I called my personal sales engineer (Stephen), and within 10 minutes, Joe from Tech support had already ordered a new guitar to be sent to me the next day. I have honestly never had a better customer service experience in my entire life than with this return. People say that whoever designed the Chic Filet drive through should be running this country, which may be true, but I think it has to be the Sweetwater team. Sincerely appreciate what they do, and will happily be a customer for all future musical purchases!

My Favorite Guitar

I couldn't be happier with this purchase. It sounds, looks, and feels amazing. It stays in tune very well. There's just something about it where it almost feels like it plays itself. I highly recommend this guitar!

Favorite guitar

It's the favorite guitar in my little stable. The satin finish (neck and body) is fantastic. Playable out of the box. Love the pickups. With the option to coil split the bridge humbucker, this is by far my most versatile guitar. If I had to sell them all and keep one, this is the one I keep.

Must have

I bought this guitar back in the summer of 2019 so after owning it for quite some time I can honestly say I've found my forever #1 guitar. First off it's gorgeous the color is what first attracted myself and Im sure everyone who has bought it as well. Still get so many compliments over how beautiful this guitar is when its seen by others. The craftsmanship that went into this guitar… read more is beyond expectations, cant beat that USA quality. Tone wise, this baby is extremely versatile. Beautiful clean tones in all positions and a wide range of tones when playing with other effects (distortion, ambient effects etc.) That Yosemite Humbucker is so underrated in the pickup game in how versatile it is imo. Super comfortable all over the neck and after playing for a couple of hours it will not kill your back like other guitars. Ended up selling other guitars due to not being able to put this baby down. If you're hesitant about buying this guitar just pull the trigger! You will not regret it. Will forever love this guitar. Shout out to the homie Aaron R. for always looking out with this purchase and every other sweet piece of gear ive bought from here.
