Fender Acoustasonic Player
The development of Fender's groundbreaking Acoustasonic guitars continues with the introduction of the Acoustasonic Player models. The Acoustasonic Player guitars offer many of the same great features as their US-made relatives, but they open the door to a wider audience by streamlining the feature set to the essentials and thereby becoming more affordable. Although there are some fine differences, the workmanship of the Acoustasonic Player guitars is virtually identical to that of the American Acoustasonic models. The Acoustasonic Player was designed to the same blueprint and represents no compromise for you if you want the great feel and craftsmanship of the Acoustasonic.

Body construction
The hollow mahogany body of the Acoustasonic Player models is light and ergonomically shaped, featuring a comfortable forearm contour. The spruce top (soundboard) is set into the body and is elegantly accented with a thin three-ply black/white/black binding. Additional comfort is found in the upper registers of the fretboard: a Contoured Neck Heel and an integrated neckplate make playing in the upper registers a pleasure. The fretboard, controls and bridge of the Acoustasonic Player guitars are made of rosewood.
The Acoustasonic body features a set-in top with an integrated armrest and Fender's patent-pending Stringed Instrument Resonance System (SIRS) with the Tuned Soundhole, which uses a "Waterfall" design to better control airflow into the body. This innovation produces a natural tone when the guitar is not plugged into an amplifier and forms the basis for the Acoustic Engine. With the Tuned Soundhole as part of the tonal foundation, you can create an almost unlimited tonal palette using just two controls.
The Acoustasonic Player guitars feature an open-pore finish. That means the finish is light and thin and the wood's pores remain visible. This type of finish allows maximum resonance of the body and top (soundboard). The mahogany neck and headstock of the Acoustasonic guitars feature a laser-engraved logo — an elegant high-tech detail that adds to the instrument's beauty. Chrome tuning machines and a "Wing" string anchor increase the break angle over the nut and ensure balanced string tension.
The Acoustic Engine
For the design of the pickup system Fender brought Larry Fishman and his team on board — they proved to be the perfect partners. In developing the electronics for the Acoustasonic guitars something entirely new was created: the Acoustic Engine. A groundbreaking technology that provides a selection of acoustic and electric sounds like you've never heard in a single instrument before.
Two pickup systems work together to create the Acoustic Engine developed by Fender and Fishman — a blend of classic analogue and modern technologies that optimise the guitar's natural sound and then modify the vibration to deliver an unmatched collection of electric and acoustic voicings, which can be smoothly blended and combined with the blend control.
All Acoustasonic Player guitars offer three voice pairs selectable via the 3-way voice selector switch. Position 1 is at the bridge, position 3 at the neck. This collection of acoustic and electric voices can be played on their own or mixed with the blend control to create endless combinations. For the "A" voice the blend control is turned fully counterclockwise, and for the "B" voice it is fully clockwise. Each model offers its own palette of sounds and voices.
Tip: We recommend you play the Fender Acoustasonic guitars through an acoustic amplifier, as this will make the most of their tonal possibilities compared with an electric guitar amp. Alternatively, you can also connect the Acoustasonic directly to an interface.
The Acoustasonic Player models are powered by an internal lithium-ion battery. It's recommended that you fully charge the battery before you play the instrument for the first time. Connect the USB charging cable to a 5-volt USB-compatible charger and plug it into a mains socket. The LED at the output jack glows solid red during charging and changes to solid green when charging is complete. It takes 4 to 5 hours to fully charge the battery. A fully charged battery powers the system for about 20 hours. The battery will not be overcharged — a built-in regulator prevents overcharging and possible damage to the system.
