Fender American Acoustasonic Stratocaster Acoustic-electric Guitar - Dakota Red Reviews
The newest addition to Fender's Acoustasonic family of instruments is the Acoustasonic Stratocaster. This powerful acoustic-electric hybrid gives you all you need to blend between guns-blazing rock and country leads and a veritable studio's worth of modeled acoustic tones, all with the comfort you expect from today's Custom Shop Strats. Sound too good to be true? Trust us: these guitars are worth the hype. Whether you're a Nashville session player or a Sunday music leader, the Acoustasonic Strat packs a wealth of great tones in its svelte frame. Fender's comfortable spruce-on-mahogany SIRS Strat body is built to resonate like an acoustic instrument without succumbing to the feedback issues of other stage acoustics. And its Modern Deep C mahogany neck provides effortless electric-like playability up and down the fingerboard. Acoustasonic's bleeding-edge 3-pickup system — a real Fender N4 Noiseless magnetic single-coil paired with a Fishman Matrix undersaddle system and percussive body-top pickup — takes you from Texas sugar to six distinct acoustic tones with the flick of a switch. Powering it all is a 20-hour rechargeable battery that supports simultaneous charge-and-play for non-stop musicmaking wherever you play out.

Fender Acoustasonic Stratocaster
After my classic rock band disbanded years ago, I put my Stratocasters and Telecaster in the closet and began doing acoustic solo gigs. While I love my Martin GPCPA1 and Taylor 414CE, I missed the electric feel and sound from my band days. Last year I was thrilled to get an Acoustasonic Telecaster. It has been a great guitar, and I thoroughly enjoy it, but I've always been a Strat kind of guy. So, when Fender followed up this year with the Acoustasonic Stratocaster, I bided my time until I could get my hands on one from Sweetwater, and got the Dakota Red Strat last week. I played an outdoor patio gig with it on Friday, and I was thoroughly pleased. The acoustic sounds were great, especially the third position which adds in the body sensor pickup. But when I went electric, ah... there was that Strat sound I have missed these past few years! The neck is super comfortable, and feels a little deeper and more "U" shaped than my Tele, and the contoured body fits like a glove. Sweetwater did their usual superlative job of inspecting and setting up the guitar, and I couldn't be happier.
Well done, Fender!
