The Power of Acoustasonic Instruments at an Economical Price

When the Fender Acoustasonic hit the scene, few could accurately predict the immense success and impact it would have on today’s guitar players. The Fender Acoustasonic Player Telecaster acoustic-electric guitar equips you with much of that same inspiration in a streamlined package, cutting down on functionality and cost for a significant boost in playability and finesse. This hybrid instrument’s finely tuned soundport provides resonant acoustic tones when unplugged, with incredible magnetic/under-saddle electronics and a 3-way blade to conjure three different pairs of realistic acoustic and electric guitar tones. As for the tonewoods, Fender again chose mahogany for the body with a solid Sitka spruce top, exuding sonic warmth with the power and punch to be heard in the nosebleeds. Tap into the mystique of Fender’s incredible hybrid guitars with the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster!

Streamlined electronics provide a wide palette of electric and acoustic tones

Though clearly inspired by its older Acoustasonic siblings, the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster take a more stripped-down approach to Fender’s highly acclaimed hybrid A/E guitar for a more refined and user-friendly experience. Much like the original, you still get a specially tuned soundport along with Fender/Fishman-designed electronics. The 3-way blade easily flips between any of the Acoustasonic Player Tele’s three unique voice pairs. These meticulously crafted acoustic and electric tones can be played solo or melded to perfection courtesy of the onboard blend knob. As for sound? This impressive 6-string goes from small-body, short-scale acoustics to the lo-fi crunch of double-tracked guitars without ever needing to step on a pedal or swap instruments.

Magnetic N4 bridge pickup with a stellar Fishman under-saddle piezo

The Acoustasonic Player Tele’s Fishman and Fender-designed electronics system pairs an N4 magnetic bridge pickup with an under-saddle piezo. This combination provides you with crisp cleans, crunchy overdrive, and everything in between, complete with a tight low end, clearly defined highs, and punchy mids to power through any mix. Even better, these electronics sound phenomenal without an amp — Sweetwater guitarists are amazed at the lifelike tones and crystalline clarity achieved when plugged directly into a PA. Regardless of your needs, the Acoustasonic Player Tele’s syrupy-sweet tone and plentiful range will suit many styles of music.

Fender Acoustasonic Player Telecaster Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

  • Streamlined version of Fender’s popular Acoustasonic hybrid acoustic-electric guitar
  • Mahogany body topped with punchy Sitka spruce lays a solid tonal foundation for acoustic and electric tones
  • Comfortable Modern “Deep C” mahogany neck capped with smooth-as-glass rosewood
  • Resonant soundport provides beautiful acoustic tones unplugged
  • Fender/Fishman-designed electronics system pairs an N4 magnetic bridge pickup with an under-saddle piezo
  • 3 voice pairs swappable on the fly courtesy of a 3-way blade
  • Blend knob blends “A” and “B” voices to perfection
  • Powered by a single 9V battery with an easy-release cover

Acoustisonic Tele Player Series

Love this guitar. Small, light weight, and extremely versatile. Very simple to use. Great sounds. Really a lot of fun to play.
Rated 5/5

A Wonderful Guitar!

I am very happy with this Fender Acoustasonic Player Guitar! It arrived in excellent condition, and quite playable out of the box. I did have to tune it but imho that is to be expected. This guitar is pretty easy to play, the neck fits my hand nicely and, played acoustically, it is balanced and "small living room volume"; it's good to sing with. Plugged in it can go in many directions and lotsa volume, fun to fool around with. Just gettin started on exploring the possibilities, really. Gonna have to get a new amp, tho... ;^) Also came with quite a nice gig bag, but I oversplurged and bought a really good Fender case as well. The guitar was on a big sale so that's my excuse.
Many thanks Robbie and the Sweetwater team!

Tele Acoustasonic Player

Love it, received in 3 days. Thought I had a issue but my engineer contacted the factory to see if there was issue. Was confirmed all was fine within 2 days. That was great customer service.

Game Changer!

I was developing a problem with fretting and holding my acoustic electric. A wide neck, and a large body (the guitar's, not mine) were making it difficult to play. The Fender Telecaster Acoustasonic IS my solution. The guitar is light, the body is thin, the neck has the familiar Fender feel. The sound? Acoustically, the lows are not real low, but it's bright. Where it shines is plugged in. I'm using my ME-80 to dial in patches to compliment the guitar. This Acoustasonic sounds great!
I also want to give a shout out to my Sales Tech, Mike Winebrenner. Mike has been helping me out with gear for over a decade. He's a great guy to deal with. Sometimes he's called me just to "check in," which is another reason why I keep going back to Sweetwater for my gear.

Game Changer

My acoustic duo added a drummer to liven things up at gigs a few months ago and the response from venues has been great. Audiences wanted more upbeat songs and we determined we needed to add songs that required guitar tones beyond our usual clean acoustic sound. We wanted a dirty acoustic guitar sound and even overdrive or distortion tones to finish up those really fun gigs but couldn't accomplish that with an acoustic guitar and switching to an electric guitar full-time or part-time would move us too far away from being an acoustic group. I called Sweetwater and Chris Arnold recommended the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster.

Honestly, I was not sold when I first received the guitar since it was so much smaller than my acoustics and so much lighter than my electrics. I played it for a few days and was still on the fence until I took it to practice and plugged it in to a cheap distortion pedal through the PA. Bingo! The guitar tone variety that we needed is now possible with one guitar and the set up is still simple. Thanks to Chris and Sweetwater for solving my guitar problem.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
