Fender proudly present the American Acoustasonic Stratocaster. Following the resounding success of the acoustic reworking of the Telecaster, this fresh hybrid offers an innovative instrument to all Strat lovers. The Tele Acoustasonic came loaded with forward-thinking tech, Fender-level build quality and an incredibly flexible sound and, since the Strat-style incarnation of the Acoustasonic comes with the now hallowed Fishman-Fender-developed Acoustic Engine at its heart, this model is no different. The American Acoustasonic Stratocaster: You Can Take It Anywhere Besides the preamp, an Under-Saddle piëzo pickup has been installed to faithfully register the acoustic sound; a magnetic Fender Noiseless N4 single-coil is mounted at the bridge, and an 'Internal Body Sensor' inside the body ensures that the natural resonance is captured in full. To gain access to the mind-boggling range of sounds this three-piece electronics combo produces, it's worth getting to know the five-way switch. With seven acoustic and three electric guitar sounds on offer, as well as the pickup configurations available, experimentation is not just invited but actually demanded. Electric Playability This Fender Acoustasonic Stratocaster has the butter-smooth feel of a satin-gloss finish and comes fitted with a highy playable electric-guitar-esque, Modern Deep C-profile neck. Other more traditional Strat details include the lightly bevelled forearm contour across the top of the body, and just like the classic Strat, the shape and depth of the body of this guitar is just as comfortable whether sitting or standing. Playing entirely unplugged is of course possible due to the SIRS sound hole, and this accomplished guitar comes complete with its own form-fitting and luxury Fender 1225 gig bag.
