THE ACOUSTASON­IC GETS A STRAT VERSION

- WORDS: SAM ROCHE

Following the success of last year’s bombshell Acoustason­ic Telecaster, Fender have doubled down, revealing a Stratocast­er variant featuring all-new tonewoods, voicing options and electric capabiliti­es.

With a fully hollow body and Fender’s patented Stringed Instrument Resonance System (SIRS), the Acoustason­ic Stratocast­er features everything that made the Tele so successful, but with a Strat-shaped body that will inevitably result in a different tonal projection and feel.

The guitar also features the Fender and Fishman-designed Acoustic Engine, delivering a newly curated collection of acoustic and electric voices. The Fender Acoustason­ic Noiseless Magnetic pickup can be played solo for hum-free Fender electric tone, or blended with an acoustic voice to create new tones.
