THE AMERICAN PERFORMER SERIES

Great players aren’t made overnight. Neither are great instruments. Handcrafted in Corona, California, with all-new Yosemite pickups, the American Performer Series is built for those who demand to be heard.

ALL-NEW YOSEMITE™ PICKUPS

Our all-new Yosemite pickups work hard to deliver the sound you need for the performance you want. Custom-voiced for each instrument in the series, these unique alnico pickups offer tones as dynamic and expressive as the musician playing them.

GREASEBUCKET™ TONE CIRCUIT

One of several key features designed to add tonal variety with a quick flick of the wrist, this agile tone system lets you cut treble without losing gain or muddying your sound.

SATIN FINISHES

The American Performer Series features updated finishes, including satin versions of classics like Sonic Blue and Surf Green, and new colors Penny and Aubergine.
