Fender American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster EB OCT

The Fender American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster electroacoustic guitar brings together the worlds of electric and acoustic instruments and proves that Fender doesn't have to just look to the glorious past. The guitar is made in Corona, California (USA), and its top-quality workmanship matches it.

The Acoustasonic already catches the eye at first glance with its cool design and playing characteristics derived from both Jazzmaster-type electric guitars and acoustic instruments (contoured shoulder rest). The narrow bellows body offers the natural volume and resonance of acoustic guitars. It will thus play well "unplugged" in your living room, however, the real advantages of this guitar come from amplification.

The sound is captured by three pickups. The Fender Acoustasonic Shawbucker offers the aggressive sound of electric guitars, which you can use undiluted, or mix with the acoustic sound of the underbody piezo pickup and sensor located in the body of the guitar, both by Fishman. Acoustic Engine technology offers ten simulations of the sound of acoustic and electric guitars (simulating different body shapes and woods). You can switch between the different sounds with a five-position switch and a Mode control, which can also be used to set the A/B voicing mix. So you don't have to think about whether to bring a bigger Jumbo or a smaller-bodied guitar to a gig, whether rosewood or mahogany is better, and finally whether you'd like the sound of a Jazzmaster too - the Fender American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster offers it all in one compact body.

The system is powered by a li-ion battery. A USB port at the jack input is used for recharging, after a 4-5 hour recharge the battery is able to power the system for approximately twenty hours. It is possible to play and recharge at the same time. A low battery level is indicated by a red flashing LED, at higher charge levels the LED indication does not light up. The manufacturer recommends using power adapters with a minimum output of 1000 mA (1A).

The guitar is supplied in a case (1225 Deluxe Gig Bag).
