Fender American Acoustasonic Telecaster Black Paisley
Electro-acoustic Hybrid Guitar with Acoustic Engine and Stringed Instrument Resonance System, including Gigbag
The Fender American Acoustasonic Telecaster Black Paisley once again proves that innovation is written large in the house Fender. Accordingly, the electro-acoustic hybrid guitar embodies the modern zeitgeist that blurs the boundaries between instruments and genres. With the patent-pending "Stringed Instrument Resonance System", which relies on a recessed top made of solid Sitka spr uce and the "Tuned Soundport" in the sound hole, the Gitarre delivers a surprisingly grown-up acoustic sound despite its classic Telecaster dimensions. The "Acoustic Engine" developed jointly by Fender and Fishman also makes use of a Fishman Matrix Narrow Piezo under the bridge, a Fishman Acoustic Enhancer Body Sensor and a Fender Noiseless Single Coil, which together provide ten different voicings between electric and acoustic Gitarre. furthermore, the flat "C" neck profile offers comfortable and soft playability, while the compensated saddle made of Graph Tech TUSQ ensures clean intonation and a flat string action.
The Fender American Acoustasonic Telecaster Black Paisley convinces with a smooth playability and first-class sounds between acoustic and electric guitar.

Fender American Acoustasonic Telecaster Black Paisley
I have only had this guitar for a few days. My view is that it is a well made mass produced instrument with the benefit of modern manufacturing techniques like CNC and modern electronics. It also benefits from not having lacquer applied and it is very light. Playing and sound wise it is fun and links that experience of playing an electric acoustically but also generating good emulations of acoustic tone when amplified. The electric fender tone I still haven't quite got nailed as it's shown in countless Youtube demos. It is still early days for me to really explore it but I like the idea of getting quirky combinations from it and recording with it. Especially acoustic processed lots of my Stymon pedals and Valhalla DSP plugins etc . Also looping about with it in the house will be fun. I think its a little expensive even though I got mine at a very good price from dv247. The seafoam green is probably not to everyone's taste but I like it even more than I thought I would.

Been trying to learn on an acoustic guitar and seem to keep tilting it to see what I’m doing, I don’t do it with this being so slim bodied. Love this guitar, well made and looks great.
