Fender Acoustasonic Telecaster

www.ProGuitarShop.com - For 2010, Fender has crafted a truly innovative instrument that will provide electric Telecaster tones, 4 different acoustic guitar tones, and a blending of both of these tones. Yes, electric and acoustic sounds in one instrument. Now within a Telecaster platform you can access rich and pristine acoustic guitar tones. Strum and fingerpick acoustic songs on a modern C shaped rosewood neck with 21 medium jumbo frets and a 9.5 radius. This is not an electric guitar that approximates the sound of an acoustic guitar. It is the sound of 4 acoustic guitars at your fingertips. There is an acoustic transducer underneath the saddles of the bridge that drives Fishmans Aura System. This in turn provides 4 different digital images of acoustic sounds that are utterly real and organic. The Fender Acoustasonic also has a Twisted Tele neck pickup for classic Tele electric sounds. Best of all, you can blend these two tones in the middle position of the pickup selector. But thats not where the innovation stops. The Fender Acoustasonic Telecaster allows you to split the acoustic and electric signal into either stereo or mono. With a supplied Y cable, you can run your acoustic signal into an amp or direct, and run your electric signal into an amp. This provides a rich and lush sound that is a perfect balance between the acoustic and electric worlds. This instrument is perfect for pop songsters and singer-songwriters who need some versatility to their sound or even for electric guitarists needing some added diversity to their tonal arsenal. This is a truly innovative and exceptional instrument that provides organic and dynamic acoustic electric tones in a traditional Telecaster. Astounding. - http://proguitarshop.com/store/guitars-c-1/fender-acoustasonic-telecaster-p-1662

Very good demo! PGS. Well done. May I ask how you achieve this stereo result. Do you need 2 amps? Are there special cables needed? I am an owner of a Fender resonator FR50CE with a Tele pickup and piezo. I wonder if I can create a stereo effect like this. Maybe you can demo this fr50ce by chance? Greetings from the Netherlands.

@SjaakShirly6559 - Yes, you would either need two amps or one dual-channel stereo amplifier for true stereo operation. The Acoustasonic comes with a split stereo cable for this purpose. And yes, according the info from Fender you can do the same thing with the FR50CE. Thanks!

@ProGuitarShopDemos, who ever is running the youtube responces is a true gentleman, tolerating the anoymous slander and flame with calm benevolence. I know that can't be easy day in, day out. So i wanted you to know it's wonderful you a) respond at all, and, b) hold such civilised grace.

Well Done.

@jumpshipdrown - You're too kind. Thanks for noticing.

Jesus jumped-up Christ in a go-cart. Can't anyone pronouce piezo correctly? It's PEE-AY-ZO. Not PIE-ZO. Go smack your science teacher (and Greek teacher) in the mouth, and return your GED. You failed. PEE-AY-ZO, from the Greek word "piesis", meaning pressure. Say it slowly. Let it sink in.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@MongoLloydd - Technically it's pronounced more like PIE-EE-ZO, derived from the Greek "piezein", meaning "to sit on, or press". But hey, we're just guitar players! Pardon our tomfoolery. Thanks!

Actually, how you pronounce it depends where you live! Here in the UK it's pronounced: "peet - zo". I could give you all the grammatically correct reasons for that (according to the Oxford English Dictionary, in which the English language is embodied) but what the heck, anybody outside the UK will argue with that and say that their version is correct! It is what it is and pronounce it whichever way you want, I'm sure you're not bothered if it's "correct" or not!!

He plays acoustic guitar like an electric so he's not really asking the guitar questions that a singer songwriter or player in a folkband would be asking.. I'm a big fan of the acoustasonic amp - got three of them, but this doesn't tell me what I need to know.

[Indieguitarist85]

this would be a nice guitar to have during live gig situations. =D

[takatakboy]

Andy's voice would make a great dj voice, just sayin

[eyeball226]

@ProGuitarShopDemos Well it's certainly not pronounced PIE-ZO... -_-
