However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
Key Features
A legend, reimagined. The Fender American Performer Stratocaster HSS RW gives you all of the classic Strat feel in a model that produces upgraded, 21st century sound. Yosemite single-coil pickups give you raw, bright sound, while a DoubleTap bridge pickup gives you a completely unique mix of humbucker and single-coil tones. Ideal for the live musician.
That's far from all that this incredible guitar offers, though. Experience amazingly natural playing comfort thanks to a "C"-shaped neck that eliminates cramp. Experiment endlessly to create a unique voice using a tremolo bridge. And enjoy it all in a model with gorgeous, vintage style. This really is special. Don't miss out.
Product Ref: 128634
Craft your own distinctive voice. The American Performer Strat HSS comes equipped with a Fender Vintage-Style Synchronised Tremolo bridge. This allows you to experiment with the legendary tremolo effect in your music. You'll easily be able to inject a unique edge into your solos using the guitar's whammy bar. Create a sound that's entirely your own.
Incredible tone. Fender have fitted this American Performer Strat with a trio of pickups that will provide you with your most distinctive, exhilarating guitar sound ever. They've loaded expertly designed Yosemite pickups in the neck and middle positions.
These modern pickups have been developed to deliver vintage Strat sound with none of the hum or noise that single-coil pickups often suffer from. You can play at the very highest outputs thanks to volume-increasing flat-staggered pole pieces. Ideal for performance in even the largest venues. Clarity is retained flawlessly thanks to feedback-eliminating shellac coating.
The instrument's tremendous individuality is ensured by a DoubleTap humbucker at the bridge position. This unique, patent-applied-for design merges humbucking and single-coil pickup characteristics to create a voice the likes of which you've never heard on a guitar before. Like the Yosemite pickups, it performs brilliantly at high output. And 5-way pickup switching means you can experiment further with your guitar's overall sound.
A guitar that you can play for hours on end. The American Performer Stratocaster's maple neck has been designed to fit naturally into the palm of your hand. Thanks to this, the instrument will feel extremely comfortable when you're holding it.
The benefits of this are twofold. Firstly, you'll be able to play on and on thanks to cramp not being an issue. Ideal for those shows that both you and your audience never want to end. You'll also be able to concentrate entirely on your creativity without discomfort distracting you or holding you back.
All-conquering range. You'll never be limited in your style of play by the American Performer Strat. That's because Fender have constructed this guitar with a stunning blend of premium tonewoods, giving you an amazing, extensive tonal range.
Enjoy wonderful natural depth and resonance with an alder body. This is perfect for allowing you to play driving, invigorating power chords. The body is also lightweight, reducing the strain on your shoulders when you're stood playing for long periods.
Brightness and sharpness in each note is added by the Strat's maple neck. And you'll have access to beautiful warmth and richness in tone courtesy of a rosewood fingerboard.
An icon. The Stratocaster has deservedly earned its place in the annals of musical history. Its legendary status has ensured it an enduring reputation in the music world. It's true that the Strat has always been renowned for delivering powerful rock 'n' roll sound the likes of which no other guitar can compete with. But it's not just so popular because of its superb sound. It's also irresistibly cool. The classic Strat aesthetic has been brought into this model with a striking three-colour sunburst finish. Aged white control knobs add an extra vintage touch. This is style that will leave others enviously gazing at this quite remarkable instrument.
Rock 'n' roll sound and style to take anywhere and everywhere. The Fender American Performer Stratocaster comes with a deluxe gig bag at no extra cost. Protecting your guitar from scratches and scrapes on the move, it'll make transporting your Strat from gig to gig simple.
