Fender Acoustasonic Player Telecaster - Butterscotch Blonde with Rosewood Fingerboard Review

Best Hybrid but Still a Hybrid

I've owned every kind of hybrid made and this one has them beat…but it's still a hybrid. Never really going to sound like an acoustic or an electric. All Im looking for is one decent acoustic sound and one electric for gigging with one guitar. After a couple weeks Im getting there. One trick is to roll back the volume, don't max it out. I don't care for the crunch tones, not my… read more thing. I would have liked it better with 3 settings and a tone knob. The build is very nice, love the neck. Gig bag is well padded but the zipper should go further down the side…if you buy one you'll see what i mean.

Worth the money.

Came promptly, well packaged and in perfect condition. Fit and finish are excellent and comparable with a player series Stratocaster. Intonation is excellent, set up is good, very lightweight and well balanced, love the silky neck finish - very fast, the nut is well fashioned and glides the strings well without any lube. The small body resonates better than I expected and sustain… read more is very good. I was going to opt for the made in USA acoustasonic because I prefer an ebony board but the rosewood is excellent. My only criticism (which is why I dropped a star) is the fret edges are not rolled, they are not sharp but are distracting to me personally. This is very similar to how my MIM Strat was. I rolled them myself and that plays beautifully now, so it's not a big deal for me. Very happy and I would purchase again.
