The Acoustasonic relies on what Fender calls its "Stringed Instrument Resonance System" which sits just on the other side of that soundhole and works to broaden and enhance the natural tones of the Acoustasonic’s hollow body. This technical achievement unlocked the ability to draw the tones of a more conventional acoustic out of a guitar the size of a Telecaster.
These core acoustic sounds are then amplified via a set of three different pickups. Beneath the bridge there's a Fishman Matrix Narrow pickup and "Acoustasonic Enhancer," which blend with an above-board Fender Noiseless pickup that was designed just for this model. These various elements all combine to output 10 distinct voices covering the gamut of contemporary guitar styles and timbres.
