Fender American Acoustasonic® Telecaster®, Ebony Fingerboard, Natural

Description

The Fender American Acoustasonic Telecaster is a hybrid guitar that incorporates elements from both electric and acoustic guitars while utilizing advanced digital technology. By combining a SIRS body, designed to resonate like an acoustic guitar, with two groundbreaking pickup systems and a powerful digital processor, Fender has succeeded in creating a guitar that can be used for folk and bluegrass flatpicking as well as heavy rock and soul—simply at the push of a button.

By default, the Acoustasonic Telecaster is built with a hollow Tele body made of mahogany and constructed with the SIRS resonance enhancement system. On the guitar's top, Fender has installed a top made of exquisite Lutz spruce, which is supported by cross bracing. This construction allows the guitar to resonate in a way you have never experienced in a Telecaster before—with powerful bass and sparkling highs that come through clearly and loudly through the built-in Fishman electronics. The neck is made of mahogany and features an ebony fretboard with 22 narrow/tall frets. Fender has done a fantastic job of preserving the style and playability of an instrument as advanced as the Acoustasonic Telecaster. From the familiar single-cut body to its “Deep C” profile neck, everything about this guitar will make you feel right at home, whether you are on stage or in the studio.

In the bridge position, the Acoustasonic Telecaster is equipped with a Tele pickup that can deliver an electric guitar sound with plenty of bluesy grit and twang. The Tele pickup is complemented by a Fishman Matrix piezo pickup system that gives you direct access to a clear and balanced western guitar sound. Chord playing, fingerstyle, and solo playing require different guitar sounds, and the Acoustasonic Tele gives you access to 10 different voices via its 5-way switch and A/B control. Whether you are looking for a big and prominent dreadnought or a subtle and delicate guitar tone that sits well in a mix, the Acoustasonic Tele has you covered.
