Fender’s latest hybrid acoustic-electric guitar delivers the spirited versatility of its predecessors in a more affordable, streamlined package.
When played as a purely unamplified acoustic instrument, I found the Fender Acoustasonic Player Telecaster to be modest in its volume output and not particularly well-rounded from a harmonic standpoint. The guitar’s very responsive spruce top allowed the instrument to project plenty of rhythmic punch and string attack, but its shallow body and small sound hole lacked the ability to push low and low-mid frequencies in any meaningful way.
After testing the guitar’s unpowered sound, I switched on my amp and began my cycle through the six preset sounds with the three-way blade in position one. In this position, the guitar’s amplified sound emulates that of a traditional spruce and mahogany acoustic guitar like the, with the blend knob providing a gradient between the sound of a large dreadnought guitar and a small-body parlor acoustic.
In switch position two, the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster enters lo-fi mode, which gives players access to the pure, unaffected sound of the under-saddle piezo pickup. To me, this mode sounded so direct, sensitive, and detailed that I felt the term “lo-fi” sold it a bit short.
The final and rightmost switch position engages the noiseless bridge pickup to enable the guitar’s traditional Telecaster sound, with the blend knob as a toggle between clean and overdriven tones. I was initially confused by this mode, having expected it to more or less reproduce the sound of a solid-body Telecaster.
