The American Acoustasonic Telecaster embodies the spirit of purposeful innovation that Fender was built on. From acoustic shape-shifting to electric rhythm tones, this powerful guitar uses a revolutionary Fender and Fishman-designed Acoustic Engine to deliver new sonic expression from the studio to the stage.

See how Fender makes their Cocobolo Acoustasonic Tele in this video:


Elegantly simple, the Acoustasonic Telecaster was designed to inspire - mixing future technology with organic feel and playability as a way to connect artists to their music. The fully hollow body features an integrated forearm contour and our patent-pending Stringed Instrument Resonance System (SIRS) -designed to deliver a naturally loud voice with lively harmonics. A smooth playing mahogany neck and open-pore satin finish make this cutting-edge guitar comfortable and easy to play. On stage the Acoustasonic Telecaster eliminates many of the challenges associated with playing an acoustic guitar live by cutting out feedback, and making it easy to access the sounds you need without switching instruments.

The Acoustasonic Telecaster is powered by the Fender and Fishman-designed Acoustic Engine - proprietary blend of classic analog and future technologies that optimize the guitar's natural sound, and then modify the resonance to deliver a curated collection of voices. These acoustic and electric voices can be played solo, or blended via the Mod Knob to create new sounds. They can also be used simultaneously, read more courtesy of the Fender Acoustasonic Noiseless magnetic pickup.

Handcrafted in Corona, California, at the same factory that makes Fender's iconic electric instruments, the Acoustasonic Telecaster represents the next era in Fender craftsmanship and innovation - designed for fearless artists who want an inspiring instrument with limitless new sounds and a great Fender feel.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I was apprehensive that this would parallel my T5. It doesn't. A completely different selection of choices in voicings. I admit I am a rhythm player with an occasional lead thrown in here and there, but this guitars sound and feel encourages and inspires me to include more lead playing. Love the overall feel of this piece and look forward to taking it tor my future venues. Very cool on board chargeable battery. No more carrying a 9 volt in my pocket or gig bag. Very sturdy, rugged gig bag. The bag seams almost bullet proof. In short, I love it and grateful that zZounds had it in stock when I was prepared to buy.
