Fender American Acoustasonic Stratocaster Acoustic Electric Guitar Dakota Red

Fender American Acoustasonic Stratocaster Acoustic Electric Guitar Dakota Red – The American Acoustasonic™ Stratocaster® continues to embody the spirit of purposeful innovation that drives Fender guitars. The power of the Fender and Fishman®-designed Acoustic Engine is sure to deliver true inspiration. From acoustic shapeshifting to electric rhythm tones, this extremely versatile guitar creates a brand-new lane on the sonic highway.

Acoustic, electric, or both?

How would you like to layer your acoustic rhythms with heavily processed electric tones? Or volley between sweet acoustic sweeps and tasty Texas leads in the middle of a song? It’s all possible with the Acoustasonic Stratocaster. A 5-way switching system makes accessing these diverse tones a breeze. Each position features two distinct sound profiles (clean/crunch, short-scale/dreadnought), which can be continuously blended via the rear Mod knob. Whether you’re running into a PA or an amp, the Acoustasonic Strat provides great tones at the flip of a switch.

N4 Noiseless magnetic bridge pickup

The Acoustasonic’s N4 Noiseless magnetic bridge pickup achieves authentic Strat-style tones with hum-free performance. This pickup nets you crisp cleans to crunchy overdrive with a tight low end, clearly defined highs, and punchy mids to power through any mix. Surprisingly, this pickup even sounds great without an amp, plugged directly into a PA.

Fishman Matrix undersaddle system

The Fishman Matrix is one of the world’s best-selling acoustic pickups. In the Acoustasonic Strat, it provides a syrupy-sweet direct tone and plenty of range to suit any manner of music.

Body-top acoustic pickup

Whether it’s John Mayer acoustic stops or a full-on Kaki King flamenco assault you’re after, the Acoustasonic Strat’s dedicated body-top pickup, accessible in position 3, adds a percussive element that’s hard to top in traditional instruments.

Blend your tone to taste

Strumming, fingerpicking, and lead work all require different sounds. The Acoustasonic Strat gives you access to 10 distinct acoustic and electric voices via a traditional 5-way selector and an A/B mod control for fine-tuning selections. These voices accommodate diverse genres and playing styles with ease. In addition to electric tones, onboard acoustic options span dreadnought, parlor/concert, and articulate auditorium body styles that mirror premium tonewoods, including Sitka spruce, Brazilian rosewood, mahogany, and maple. Whether you’re seeking a boisterous dreadnought or a slim short-scale that gels in a mix, it’s all at your fingertips — no pedals required! Plus, if the Acoustasonic Strat wasn’t unique enough already, players can blend electric and acoustic tones in positions 1 and 2 for acoustic texture with a touch of driving electric sustain or electric tone with a hint of percussive acoustic attack.

Familiar Strat design

Fender has done a great job of retaining the style and playability of the beloved Strat design for an instrument as advanced as the Acoustasonic Stratocaster. From the familiar single-cut body to its great-playing, ebony-capped Modern Deep C-profile neck, everything about this guitar will make you feel right at home onstage or in the studio. Its action is a nice compromise between styles: it doesn’t bottom out for strums, and it doesn’t fret out for leads.

SIRS mahogany body

Unique to the Acoustasonic family of guitars is Fender’s mini-soundhole mahogany body with SIRS resonance enhancement system. Paired with its transverse-braced solid Sitka spruce top, the Acoustasonic Strat resonates like no guitar you’ve played before, with punchy bass and a sparkly top end that comes across loud and clear through the onboard Fishman electronics.

Onboard rechargeable battery

The days of swapping out 9-volts are over. The Acoustasonic Stratocaster comes loaded with a 20-hour integrated battery, rechargeable over USB. This battery allows you to charge and play at the same time — so if you’ve got a portable battery backup, the Acoustasonic can give you days of uninterrupted play time.
