- Hi everyone.
This is Nicholas Venaglia super-stoked to show you
the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster.
Three years ago, the world was introduced
to the American Acoustasonic Telecaster.
The completely unique acoustic electric hybrid model.
Since then the Acoustasonic series has expanded to include
the Stratocaster and Jazzmaster models as well.
And they have been making their way into the hands
of players all around the world.

I've been using an Acoustasonic in the studio
for songwriting and on tour.
It's great because it nails all the acoustic sounds
that I need,
but I can also have the versatility to shred
an electric solo, whenever I need to.
It's powerful and player friendly
with it's simplified feature set,
which allows you to flip seamlessly between three acoustic
and electric voice pairs,
and then blend between those voicings
to unlock a ton of sounds.
I'll go through all the sounds,
but first let's take a quick run through of the features
and controls.
The player Telecaster features a master volume knob,
a three-way switch that offers six new voices,
which can be blended with the spin of the blend knob,
which is right here.
It's a simplified offering of tones,
but includes the most sought after Acoustasonic voices.
It features the Acoustaonic noiseless pickup for clean
and distorted electric tones
and an under-saddle pickup for two lo-fi tones.

This model also features the standard
Acoustasonic wood combinations.
We have mahogany back and sides, spruce top.
However, the Acoustasonic player
features a rosewood fingerboard and bridge.
Now we have four colors for this model butterscotch blonde,
which I have right here.
There's also going to be brushed black, shadow burst
and arctic white.
Also to note the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster operates
off the single nine volt battery,
which will power your guitar for up to 22 hours.
So just keep a couple extra spare nine volts
in your gig bag, and you'll be able to recharge instantly
with a fresh battery.
Let's check out some new sounds with positions two A
and two B, these tones are created
with the under-saddle pickup.
Two A will give you a lo-fi clean tone.
And then when I roll up the blend knob,
we'll add in a lo-fi crunch on top of that clean tone,
again, all coming from the under-saddle pickup.

It's important to think of these instruments,
not as an acoustic or as an electric,
but more of a versatile guitar for every kind of player,
whether it's on stage or in the studio,
or just as a songwriting tool.
It's certainly allowed me to focus more on the music.
You know, maybe there's a setting
where I have acoustic guitar on the verse,
and then I need to switch right over
to electric on the chorus.
And there's not enough time
to do that in the moment onstage at a gig, right?
So it's nice to have both options on one guitar.
Let's jump over to the electric pickup
and hear what that sounds like.
I'll start in one A, which is cleaner
and then I'll blend in the crunch with the blend knob.
I'm also going to switch over to a 68 custom deluxe reverb
for this demo.

With streamline electronics,
a new set of colors and an affordable price tag.

accessible addition to the Acoustasonic platform today.
