Fender: Acoustasonic Player Telecaster | Full Demo and Review feat. Chris Lanzon

The Tele is one of the world&most iconic guitars. With the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster, Fender has written a new and exciting chapter in its history. The Fender Telecaster is a famously versatile guitar, finding its way onto just as many classic rock recordings as it has done in the country canon, not to mention funk, blues, jazz, punk, and more. But with the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster, this iconic model has spread its wings even wider. Not only does it do the "Tele thing", it also opens up a world of new acoustic territories. Its goal? To be a Swiss Army knife in the studio and on stage. Engineering the Sound teamed up with Chris Lanzon to take a closer look at the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster. While it bears the Telecaster badge and shares some recognisable DNA with its famous forebear, what you&confronted with is something quite different. For one, the Acoustasonic label is no joke: it&an acoustic guitar. It has a thin body and the natural acoustic projection isn&what you would expect from a regular (for want of a better word) acoustic guitar. But it still fills the space more fully than an unplugged electric would, which highlights one of its key purposes: you can pick up this guitar at any time and get jamming. Adding to its acoustic credentials is the selection of tonewoods: mahogany neck and body sides, with a spruce top. The finishes tap into the heritage of the Tele, with a Butterscotch Blonde (of course), Shadow Burst, Brushed Black, and Arctic White.
