Description

The most striking aesthetic feature of the Fender Acoustasonic Strat is its soundhole placed at the centre of the body. Whereas other acoustic/electric hybrids seen before have tended to stay closer to an electric style, the Acoustasonic Strat embraces more of a conventional acoustic construction.

The full hollow body crafted from black limba paired with an exotic ziricote top produces rich lows and a bell-like mid-range. Using Fender’s ‘Stringed Instrument Resonance System’ (SIRS) and innovative ‘Transverse’ bracing, this design helps the Acoustasonic Stratocaster achieve the response and harmonic breadth of a typical acoustic guitar, where you can feel the vibrations resonating through your body.

Comfortable Mahogany Neck
The Acoustasonic’s bolt-on white limba neck adds even more tonal depth. Covered in a smooth open-pore satin urethane finish and cut to Fender’s modern “Deep C” profile, the playability of this guitar is simply outstanding and will not feel alien to keen Fender players.

Adorned with a sleek ebony fingerboard, this material ensures a slippery feel while adding some pristine top-end bite. Fitted with narrow tall frets, these are more akin to the type of frets you’d expect to find on most acoustics. To keep electric players happy, Fender has ensured that the Acoustasonic Strat has 22 frets, with a 12” fingerboard radius and a sculpted heel providing a modern playing experience.

Innovative Fender/Fishman Electronics
Using an electro-acoustic guitar onstage has its issues, where persistent feedback can potentially ruin a set. That’s why Fender has sought to eliminate that common problem by utilising its smaller body shape and versatile Fender/Fishman-designed acoustic engine to cut out unwanted noise.

The acoustic engine is a proprietary blend of classic analogue and future technologies, optimising the guitar’s natural sound and modifying the resonance to deliver a curated collection of voices. These acoustic and electric voices can be used independently, or blended via the “Mod” knob to create experimental sounds. They can also be used simultaneously thanks to Fender’s Acoustasonic Noiseless magnetic pickup.

The modern Asymmetrical bridge is intonated for optimal note balance across the fingerboard, with the high-quality Graph Tech TUSQ pins and nut keeping your tuning rock-solid. It’s also worth noting that the Fender Acoustasonic Strat comes with a Deluxe Gig Bag, letting you easily transport it from venue-to-venue.
