Fender American Acoustasonic Telecaster - Natural Review

Nice

This is a very nice guitar, light, easy to tune and sounds brilliant whether plugged in or not. It has a great acoustic resonance if you want to practice quietly.

Fender Tele Acoustasonic

Plays really well, including sustain. Have not "ghigged" with it yet, but hopefully before too long. Considering its form-factor, it sounds surprisingly good unplugged. It sounds phenominal via amplification.

Quality, playability, versatility, creativity and pure pleasurable

I've been playing the guitar since 1967 when I was in a band called Psychogenic Formulations. I've been through and I own many guitars. This by far is the most fun versatile guitar I've ever owned. My wife plays the Ukulele and we perform at brew pubs, farmer markets, nursing homes, charity and private events. I received my Fender Acoustasonic Strat, Natural in early June. We haven't… read more had a paying gig since March due to COVID19. However, we have done a ZOOM high school reunion gig and 2 front porch gigs for our neighbors and a third this Saturday. It's ironic that this guitar is made in Corona, California. We play a variety of songs; folk, country, rock, classics, blues, and oldies to contemporary. We customize our play list based on the gig/audience. I've been going through our 109 song list and figuring out the setting for each song on my Acoustasonic Strat. What a blast! I will no longer have to bring my Martin acoustic and my Les Paul Standard to every gig. The Fender Acoustasonic Strat is a quality instrument with wonderful playability, versatility, creativity and such a pleasurable instrument to play. I want to thank Ashton Vaudt who has been my Sweetwater Sales Engineer for many years. He's professional, knowledgeable, supportive and friendly.The photo is the mini-Martin that I bought from Sweetwater.

Koa Telecaster Acoustasonic

I have held off writing this review for a couple of weeks and after a few live performances. First, Sweetwater treated me (and my wife who secretly purchased this for me) very well. Josh Sackett is the Sweetwater Sales Engineer I deal with and he is always outstanding. The guitar was perfect when I opened the case. Now for the guitar. I was never able to actually try one before… read more purchasing so I only had video reviews to go by and the advice of Josh Sackett. I wanted a guitar that gave me primarily acoustic tones but played like an electric. This guitar design from Fender seemed to fit the desire. I am a fan of Telecasters anyway. It is striking in person and gets many compliments. Ultimately, it is about how the guitar sounds and feels. It sounds amazing plugged in. I explore the various tones relentlessly. I practice unplugged quite often and I was actually surprised that it sounds rather pleasant without being plugged into an amp. Certainly serviceable to practice or learn a new song. I play in a worship band and it can handle any type of song they ask of me. It is very light and comfortable. The neck is great - not as thick as my Kotzen model tele but very comfortable. It was very expensive (for me) being the exotic koa model. However, it provides so much in return with the variety of tones.

Amazing Acoustasonic Tones

Fender and Fishman have hit a home run for the acoustic sounds that come from this hybrid player. I got it for better amplified Acoustic sounds (louder without feedback) and it didn't disappoint. Even my Wife made the comment that she was surprised it didn't just sound like another electric guitar when she saw I was plugging it in. I didn't care for the Fender coated strings that… read more come on it but after changing to a set of Elixir Nanoweb strings, the Acoustasonic really came to Life and was much easier on my hands. I think the electric sounds it gets are no replacement for a solid-body guitar, but it could get you by in a pinch. But Acoustically, it's a Killer and it's also very fun to play when unplugged. Comfortable and light as a feather.
