General

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 came loaded with forward-thinking tech, Fender-level build quality and an incredibly flexible sound and since this Stratocaster comes with the now hallowed Fishman-collab-developed Acoustic Engine at its acoustic 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 while a magnetic Fender Noiseless N4 single-coil is mounted at the bridge and the resonance within the body is captured by an 'Internal Body Sensor'. To gain access to the mind-boggling range of sounds this three-piece 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 invited but actually demanded.

Electric Playability

This Fender Acoustasonic Stratocaster evidently enjoys its satin-gloss finish and the electric-guitar-esque Modern Deep C-profile neck it's been gifted with. Other traditional Strat details include the lightly bevelled forearm contour across the top of the body. The shape and depth of the body is just as comfortable whether sitting or standing to play and playing entirely unplugged is of course possible via the SIRS sound hole. This accomplished guitar comes complete with its own form-fitting and luxury Fender 1225 gig bag.
