It was love at first sight with this amazing guitar, but I've never managed to find a way to fit it into my routine. With a list price of US$1399, it represented a great value, considering the quality of the wood and the sophistication of the on-board electronics! The photos are of the actual guitar I'm offering. As you can see, its in as-new condition. No scratches, play wear or damage of any kind. These are very scarce instruments and to have a chance at one in as-new condition is a rare opportunity! I'm on the west coast of Canada and I'll ship this beauty anywhere in the world. If you'd like a shipping quote, just email me and include your country and ZIP code. I'll be happy to work with you to find the most suitable shipping method. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have before you buy as all sales are final.
For a little taste of the amazing sounds that this instrument can create in capable hands, have a listen to Andy from ProGuitarShop.com . The following review by Dave Durban was shamelessly stolen from a post on Musicradar.com and explains the attraction of this guitar way better than I ever could! Fender Acoustasonic Telecaster review By Dave Durban (October 05, 2010) OUR VERDICT A beautiful, unpretentious acoustic/electric hybrid, which offers excellent value and playability and a mix of classic electric and highly convincing acoustic tones. A must-try guitar. Outwardly, it appears Fender has made very deliberate attempts to keep the Acoustasonic as 'electric' looking as possible: the rosewood bridge is in the style of a standard Tele bridgeplate and the Fishman Aura preamp (which controls the acoustic side) is tucked away on the top edge of the guitar. The beautifully grained, lightweight, two-piece ash chambered body is finished here in a three-colour sunburst that contrasts nicely with the mint green scratchplate. The body hides a unique feature: a wedge-shaped spruce centre-block designed to increase resonance for an improved acoustic experience. The all-maple neck is more traditional: a comfortable-feeling modern 'C' profile paired with a modern Fender 241mm (9.5-inch) fingerboard radius that provides a great platform for versatile bending and intricate chord work. A Fishman transducer pickup is mounted underneath the compensated plastic saddle of the rosewood bridge. The onboard Fishman Aura IC preamp features two standard preamp controls, volume and tone, and also enables you to select four Aura IC images - dark folk, bright folk, dreadnought and jumbo. On the magnetic side we get Fender's Custom Shop Twisted Tele pickup at the neck, and controls comprise master volume and a stacked volume and tone for the magnetic pickup. A three-way lever selector switch offers piezo acoustic, both piezo and magnetic or electric alone; the supplied stereo 'Y' cable allows either dual 'stereo' outputs for both systems or mixed mono (selected via switch on the back of the battery compartment). It's strung with 0.011 to 0.049 strings, anchored through the body in the usual Tele fashion. Sounds Unplugged, the Acoustasonic has ample projection and it's certainly more acoustic-y than a standard solidbody Tele. Played through an AER acoustic combo, the dark folk image creates a crisp and clean flattop tone with ample presence. Roll off the treble from the preamp and it works for smooth jazz styles too. Bright folk, somewhat oddly, has noticeably more low-end than the dark folk image, but with a healthy amount of bloomy resonance it gives you a convincing folk singer-songwriter style plucked and strummed tone. The dreadnought image is more evocative of a specific body style - wide sounding and well balanced across the frequency range, perfect for uncluttered strumming and more attack-heavy styles. The jumbo image is a little bit darker than the dread, but it has good sustain and a more muscular bass response - it sounds particularly sweet in DADGAD. The Twisted Tele is one of our favourite Fender pickups: it's rich, articulate and suits a wide range of popular music styles - from blues and jazz, to rock and pop. Combining the two systems throws up a whole range of new and interesting tones, however. A favourite is the bright folk image, Twisted Tele pickup and a slight amount of valve amp gain from our Budda Super Drive test amp. Here you experience an almost three-dimensional, rootsy tone that's perfect for airy sounding jazz or blues with a little bite to it. If you add a little bit of volume, you get an open and expressive mild-rock sound. Either way it's a lot of fun. Balancing the acoustic and electric outputs takes some tweaking but once there, you're able to skip between rhythm and solo sections - think of songs by The Eagles, Springsteen and the like to get an idea of where that can work. All up, you're getting access to articulate fingerstyle sounds, big strummy washes, then mellow jazz and blues soloing - all without the worry of acoustic feedback. This is a truly musical and inspiring instrument that combines good value with impeccable build-quality and a range of highly engrossing hybrid tones. It would feel just as comfortable in the hands of a touring rock player, as it would a busy function jazzer or dreadnought-toting singer-songwriter. If you want a guitar that can handle strummy acoustic and mellow electric, plus a whole new twist on cool blues and jazz tones, this will be just the ticket. The Final Mojo The Fender Acoustasonic Tele, quite frankly, has a ton going for it. First, the acoustic tones are all usable and sound great. Each has its own unique strength, making the Acoustasonic Tele a fantastic choice for the studio pro or the touring musician. Second, the ability to expand your musical possibilities with the blending options makes it a blast to play. Any instrument that gives me song ideas just from strumming around on it is a good instrument in my book. Finally, the Acoustasonic’s affordability puts it well within reach of most players. It’s a difficult task to meld the electric and acoustic worlds, but Fender has found a great balance with this guitar.
