Does anybody remember the Katana or the Performer? Ive never seen one in person, only in books, but they look like cool guitars....anybody own one?

They're pretty horrid.

aside from pickups i think i like it.
first time i see this. obviously never seen in person either.

That's the color of my sweet new stang

I like Performers but you'll struggle to get one for under $1000 in good condition, i think they were only made for two years then discontinued. The Katana was a bit like a Jackson Rhoads, my mate had one and it was pretty awful. Still, they are quite rare and command more money than they deserve imo.

Theres a French dude on the fender.com forum that owns about 6 Performers, other than that i dont remember anyone owning one.

Kele from Bloc Party played one in an early video.

Was sure there was more.

i have played two
one was a legit preformer at the chicago music exchange, the other was a copy that a 70 year old electronics engineer made from scrap wood.
i liked the copy more than the og.
but the bridge intrigued me, i remember that.

OH GOD, NOT THIS AGAIN.

That looks more like an OTM or something, the other pointy thing is more pure green like emerald.

They had one at my local music go round a while back. I didn't like it... but it was cheap and looking back I wish I had bought it as an investment.

the katana looked like this-



the colour on that performer is 'emerald mist' according to my fender book.
