When Fender’s American Acoustasonic Telecaster debuted at Winter NAMM in January 2019, it raised eyebrows with its eye-catching style and unique construction. Yet its immediate success surprised even Fender.
The first year’s production sold out from orders at that very first show and more models soon followed. It seems plenty of players wanted live acoustic (and electric) tones, but couldn’t live with the faff that goes with using a full-size flat-top on stage. They probably fancied something a bit sexier-looking, too.
