Fender American Performer Stratocaster Vs American Special...What's The Difference?

[@Mrjtoomuch]

The bridge and neck position is awesome. With chords, the lower parts are robust and full, and the higher strings ring out beautifully, with plenty of chime and great clarity. I really like the Yosemites.

[@christophercameron4615]

Yousa might wanna check the pronunciation of "Yosemite"

[@leo.y.comprendo]

I expected you to do an AB test with the texas specials, honestly. Good video nontheless

[@matthewhyman6601]

Love the bridge and neck pick-ups together 😍 that tone is so sweet

[@Nikoo033]

Not being a big fan of strats, I think these new combinations made possible by the electronics are a great addition! Thanks for this nice clean demo.

[@iduncanw]

Even if he's from the UK, surely he's heard of the Looney Tunes character Yosemite Sam.

[@Nothinglefttosay]

Got one...! Brilliant..! Super stoked with mine. 😬

[@spl1011]

I was expecting a comparison against the American Special... since it was in your hand. A tonal comparison is what I was looking for. Looking thru youtube there isnt a video with a comparison of these pups so you missed out on a good opportunity.

[@Ironboar286]

Thank you for this video, I have been looking for a good compare and contrast on these two. Cheers!

[@Senira322]

how do the necks compare? are they the same?

[@christosfragias592]

Also, the Performer series has the Fender logo inscribed on the plate attaching the neck to the body. I am really digging the arctic white.

[@aaronlaorrabaquio4230]

Great demo, it's cool to hear If you have to ask there my favorite Rhcp song

[@a.wallstreet]

Does the honey burst guitar look more vibrant in real life compared to the images provided on Fender's website? The guitar looks so pale on the images but here it looks much better.

[@robdonell9915]

anton It's got a woody appearance. Sounds nice unplugged.

[@donlessnau8675]

Fantastic review, as always Sam. Great job. But, check with someone on how to pronounce Yosemite. You're way off.

[@Gman44044]

Can you please do a comparison of Performer vs Professional (rosewood) please?

[@venturaVlogger]

I dont like that big headstock, but i prefer that sound

[@theslayerofgoblins849]

I love this dudes videos

[@dtsenear]

This was under $1,000? Now it is $1,300

[@POB-rocker]

There's a black Performer too

[@Douglas_I]

My performer is the exact same colors as the non performer in this video lol! It was a limited edition color though is what I was told, called walnut.

[@jojolapraline]

And the Special sound ???????? I give 1/20

[@mr.rubicon1193]

Yo-sim-ight, lol. Its Yo-sim-it-ee

[@jbhelms99]

Yo sem mite. Haha

[@robdonell9915]

jbhelms99 I was thinking the same thing. It's pronounced: yoh-sem-i-tee, not yoh-se-might.

[@tanshaomala]

There's a video of Americans doing a review of a Performer strat that think Aubergine is a wine.... so I'd say we're even lmao.

[@davidtrueslayor7474]

Yosa-Mite , "She gave me a Yosa-mite sandwich, oh you come from a 'liberal land' down-under, where gays are loved and guns blown asunder" LOL !

[@briantaylor2.023]

"Yo-sem-ite" xD

[@cmkilcullen8176]

neck position alone sounds very non strat like on the American Performer..

[@macuse2008]

I agree. The performer has a robotic tone I even prefer my player it's more raw and gutsy

[@mr.j1400]

Why is it that everyone of these Guitar demos is an English or even worse Irish I can’t understand a word you’re saying🤪

[@shckltnebay]

You have the problem, no one should have a problem understanding him

[@MachineGunMan]

@@shckltnebay I'm Italian and I've got no problem at all, so i think you're right

[@lookmanostrings]

Dude I speak 4 languages and I understand him just fine. I think you're defective.

[@AmericanNationalist852]

yose ah mite....

[@Douglas_I]

It's funny that the guy's name is Sam, as in yo-sim-ite(bite minus the 'b') Sam right!? Lol!

[@Spittin_Bars]

Price went up, pickup quality went down, yay

[@cmkilcullen8176]

right?

[@Mrjtoomuch]

No, the new pickups are great.

[@peterd5901]

Lmao. What the hell was this video?
