Fender Telecaster Player Acoustasonic Rw Shadow Burst

Essential Information About the Fender Acoustasonic Player Telecaster Guitar, Rosewood Fingerboard

• Dual sound source: Fender Acoustasonic Noiseless magnetic pickup + Fishman Under-Saddle Transducer to switch from acoustic to electric (and blend them).


• Acoustic Engine: a system developed by Fender and Fishman to access a palette of acoustic and electric tones, both in the studio and on stage.


• "Blend" control + 3-position selector: voice selection and mixing for hybrid textures, from wide strumming to more "solid-body" attacks.


• Modern comfort: modified Telecaster format, integrated arm contour, mahogany neck with Modern "Deep C" profile.

The Acoustasonic Vision: Fender Innovation Serving a Hybrid Guitar

The Acoustasonic series embodies Fender's most modern approach: a guitar designed for musicians who want a unique instrument capable of covering acoustic and electric territories without changing guitars. This Player version, made in Ensenada (Mexico), carries the spirit of the Acoustasonic platform with familiar Telecaster ergonomics and electronics designed for expression in real-world conditions (rehearsal, stage, home studio).

Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?

The Fender Acoustasonic Player Telecaster is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who alternate between rhythm and lead parts or seek an "all-in-one" solution for varied sets. It excels in pop, rock, indie, funk, modern folk, worship, and studio music, where nuances, texture changes, and versatility are key. Its compact format and "electric-style" feel also ease the transition for electric guitarists wanting to incorporate acoustic colors without losing their familiar touchpoints.

Sound

Its sonic character primarily comes from its craftsmanship: a solid Sitka spruce top promotes clarity, attack, and projection, while the mahogany body, back, and sides add warmth and rich midrange, ideal for standing out in a mix. The Modified Telecaster format and hollow body offer natural resonance, good acoustic volume, and dynamic response to playing.

On the electronics side, the Fishman Under-Saddle Transducer provides a precise and articulate acoustic foundation, while the Fender Acoustasonic Noiseless delivers Fender's electric tone with silent operation. The "Blend" knob allows mixing the two worlds to create hybrid sounds (more defined acoustic, woodier electric, or intermediate textures), and the 3-position selector speeds up tone switching. The SIRS (Stringed Instrument Resonance System) completes the setup by enhancing the sensation of resonance and a "living" instrument feel.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, you can stick to the specified gauge and type of strings: Fender Dura-Tone 860CL Coated Phosphor Bronze .011-.052. Using the same set is the safest solution to preserve response, intonation, and playing comfort.
