The Guitar Player's Resource
Hey, why choose between acoustic and electric guitars? Fender's American Acoustasonic Stratocaster proves that's old thinking. When Fender partnered with Fishman to develop the Acoustic Engine, they weren't just combining technologies - they were solving a fundamental problem that working musicians face every day.
Picture this: you're playing a gig that demands both intimate acoustic passages and driving electric rhythm tones. Instead of switching instruments or compromising your sound, this guitar creates what Fender calls "a brand-new lane on the sonic highway." That mahogany body with integrated forearm and back contours feels familiar, but the patented Stringed Instrument Resonance System (SIRS) delivers acoustic shapeshifting that most players didn't know was possible.
Here's where the real innovation shows: that 3-pickup configuration isn't just throwing more hardware at the problem. The under-saddle piezo, internal body sensor, and N4 magnetic pickup work together through the blend knob and 5-way switch to give you voices ranging from authentic acoustic tones to electric rhythm sounds. You're not getting "pretty good" versions of each - you're getting legitimate acoustic and electric performance from one instrument.
The question is: are you ready to stop hauling multiple guitars to gigs, or do you want one instrument that actually expands your sonic possibilities instead of limiting them?
