Discover the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster in detail

The evolution of Fender 's groundbreaking Acoustasonic guitars continues with the introduction of the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster. Like the electric guitars in the Player series , the Acoustasonic version is also made in Mexico. The Acoustasonic Player Telecaster offers many of the same great features as its American-made cousins, but it opens the door to a wider range of customers by reducing the range of features to the essentials, making it more affordable.
Although there are some subtle differences, the workmanship of the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster is virtually identical to that of the American Acoustasonic models. The Acoustasonic Player is designed using the same blueprint and represents no compromise for you if you want the great feel and craftsmanship of the Acoustasonic.

construction / acoustic

The hollow mahogany body is light and ergonomically shaped and features a forearm contour. The spruce top is inserted into the body and elegantly set off with a thin 3-layer black/white/black binding . Additional comfort can be found in the upper positions of the fingerboard: a contoured neck heel and a neck plate integrated into the body make playing in the upper positions a pleasure. The fretboard, controls and bridge of the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster are made of ebony. Even harder and denser than rosewood, ebony is sometimes so dark that the grain is almost invisible - it can also be heavily grained with veins ranging from golden to light brown in color.

The Acoustasonic body features a framed top with integrated armrest and Fender's patent-pending Stringed instrument Resonance system (SIRS) with the Tuned sound hole, which uses a "waterfall" design to better control airflow into the body. This innovation creates a natural tone when the guitar is not connected to an amplifier and forms the basis for the Acoustic Engine. With the Tuned sound hole as part of the sound foundation, you can create an almost unlimited sound spectrum with two controls.

The Acoustasonic Player Telecaster's mahogany neck and headstock feature a laser-engraved logo. An elegant, high-tech detail that adds to the beauty of the instrument. Chrome-plated tuning machines and a "wing"tailpiece increase the string angle at the nut and ensure balanced string tension.

Acoustic engine

Fender brought Larry Fishman and his team on board to design the pickup system - they turned out to be the perfect partners. When developing the electronics of the Acoustasonic Telecaster, something completely new was created: the Acoustic Engine. A groundbreaking technology that provides a collection of select acoustic and electric sounds never heard before in a single instrument .
The Acoustasonic Player Telecaster has a similar design to the American Acoustasonic Tele, but is equipped with two pickups, while the American models have three. Additionally, the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster has a 3-way pickup selector switch, while the American Acoustasonic Telecaster has a 5-way pickup selector switch.

These pickups are responsible for the sound of the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster:

  • Fishman Matrix™ Narrow pickup : The acoustic sound begins with Fishman's renowned Matrix Narrow Undersaddle transducer, which is installed directly under the saddle
  • Fender Acoustasonic N4 Noiseless™ : pickup wizard Tim Shaw designed this pickup specifically for the Acoustasonic Player series .

The Acoustasonic Player Telecaster offers three unique voice pairings for a total of six acoustic and electric "best-of" voicings. The voices can be played solo or mixed to create completely new sounds . Switch between positions with the simplified 3-way switches , then turn the Blend controls to mix and switch between voicings "A" and "B" and unlock a wide range of sounds. For the "A voice" the blend controls is turned all the way counterclockwise, for the "B voice" it is turned all the way clockwise.

  • position 1 : Clean Tele sound (A) to strong distortion (B)
  • position 2 : Acoustic piezo sound (A), in direction B electric guitar sound is mixed in
  • position 3 : The sound of a mahogany parlor guitar (A) can be mixed with a rosewood dreadnought (B).

Tip : We recommend playing the Fender Acoustasonic guitars through an acoustic amplifier, as this allows you to make better use of their sonic potential than with an electric guitar amplifier. Alternatively, you can also control an interface directly with the Acoustasonic.

power supply

Another difference from US-made Acoustasonics: The Acoustasonic Player Telecaster is powered by a 9V battery, making it easier than ever to charge the Acoustasonic players and get them ready to play. With a fresh battery, the Acoustasonic Player Tele is good for more than 20 hours of playtime. Thanks to a quick-access compartment on the back of the guitar, changing the battery only takes a few seconds.
