Put a humbucking pickup on a Tele and you’re smokin’, but load it up with a single-coil Yosemite pickup and a DoubleTap humbucking pickup with single-coil mode and no volume loss and you’re on fire. Fender’s American Performer Telecaster Hum pairs this unique patent-applied-for humbucker and pickup set with Greasebucket circuitry for rich, dynamic tone with incredible control, as well as a solid maple neck carved to a “Modern C” profile with a 22-fret, 9.5-radius maple fingerboard for excellent playability and easy bending.
