Incoming Performer
dadagoboi:
I've never seen one in person but I became intrigued in the 90s after reading about them in a German history of Fender basses. A guy on TB just bought a basket case and linked to this one. BIN seemed right, so...
Possibly the last time Fender attempted anything different, even if the headstock was just a trimmed standard one.
Got some pretty severe chunks out of the body as well as crack in the stock at the E string. Might be just what I was looking for to paint Sunset Orange Metallic.
OldManC:
I'm interested to know if that neck is as thin as it looks. Cool score!

Yeah, it looks pretty narrow!
Highlander:
Nice use for the spare paint... :mrgreen:

IIRC the Performer was a John Page design. It may have been designed to be built in the US but that was when Fender was reorganizing. The neck is as narrow as it looks, string spacing is very narrow, under 2" at the bridge. I think the width at the nut was 1.5" and it had the 7.25" neck radius.
