Player's Perspective

The Acoustasonic range of Fender guitars has taken the world by storm since its inception as arguably the first mainstream instruments to nail a perfect balance between both electric and acoustic guitar functionality. The Stratocaster is no different, bringing the iconic double-cut body shape, superior upper fret access and comfort to the acoustic guitar world in a big way - it has become a huge hit among session players and weekend warriors for its ability to cover it all. This one is both colorful and classy - the custom color Dakota Red finish just hits different against the natural mahogany back and sides, and the overall warm shades of the aesthetics suits the warm acoustic tone of this guitar.

If you're used to standard Fender guitars from the current era, you'll feel right at home with this guitar in your hands, as the neck profile is the very same one from the other American series guitars. That level of playability on an acoustic guitar that sounds this woody, resonant and natural is just insane. It's simply a game-changer.

The three onboard pickups, each with different characteristics and functionalities, are voiced perfectly, and it's shockingly amazing how great this guitar sounds with rock overdrive and distortion. The control switching system is incredibly intuitive when switching between voicings. The Acoustasonic experience is something that must be tried to be believed!
