Fender Acoustasonic Standard Telecaster Acoustic-electric Guitar - Black

Serial Number: IWF26000230

A Hybrid Guitar with Telecaster Style

Fender’s Acoustasonic Standard Telecaster is a guitar equally built for writing melodies on the couch as it is for laying down tracks in the studio. While it may look just like everyone’s favorite twangy 6-string, the Acoustasonic Standard Telecaster's fully nyatoh body delivers an impressive and balanced unplugged voice that beautifully translates through an amp or PA via the under-saddle piezo pickup. Looking for something a little more aggressive? A Blend knob allows you to mix between the two ends of the tonal spectrum to get the best of both acoustic and electric worlds. Finally, a modern deep C-profile neck and comfortably contoured slim body conjure up effortless playability. From the writer’s room to the studio to the stage, the endlessly versatile Fender Acoustasonic Standard Telecaster is the ultimate multipurpose axe!

The Shawbucker: a tribute to tone

Fender Chief Engineer Tim Shaw holds claim to some of the most revered vintage pickup re-creations of our day. Among his more recognized Fender designs is the "Shawbucker" humbucking pickup: a love letter to Tim's more than 35 years of guitar industry service and a major propellent of Fender's HH and HSS electric guitars circa 2015 onward. For the Acoustasonic Standard Telecaster's specially calibrated Acoustasonic Shawbucker pickup, Tim and Fender went back to the drawing board. "We realized we needed a higher-output pickup than normal because of the unique Acoustasonic body construction," says Tim. "The Acoustasonic Shawbucker has pole pieces that are factory preset from the back, and they’re compensated for bronze strings." This calibration permits pure electric tones you'd never believe could come from an "acoustic" instrument. "When you plug-in and experiment with the Blend control," Tim continues, "You’ll hear electric sounds that go from 'fat and clean' to 'right at home with a 4 x 12 cabinet.'" Plus, as with all Acoustasonic guitars, the Acoustasonic Telecaster's spanky, snarly electric tones are designed to sound great running into a traditional speaker cabinet or direct into a full-range PA.

Iconic Tele style

As one may expect from the legendary Fender brand, they’ve retained the style and playability of the acclaimed Telecaster design and infused it in an instrument as advanced as the Acoustasonic Standard Telecaster. From the familiar body to its great-playing, rosewood-capped modern deep C-profile neck, everything about this guitar will make you feel right at home onstage or in the studio. Its action is a nice compromise between styles: it doesn't bottom out for strums, and it doesn't fret out for leads.

Blend up your sound

If you’re after a more traditional acoustic tone, the Fender Acoustasonic Standard Telecaster's under-saddle pickup captures every nuance of this guitar’s beautiful, fully nyatoh body. It’s the perfect complement to the more traditional electric guitar tones of the Acoustasonic Shawbucker, providing a lush and organic tone that’s ideal for strumming out cowboy chords and tackling your latest fingerstyle masterpiece. However, if you’re feeling experimental, a Blend knob allows you to borrow the best elements from this guitar's six fine-tuned electric and acoustic voices. Here’s a pro tip from Our guitarists: Blending in a bit of the Shawbucker can beef up your piezo’s low end!
