“This is the most appealing combination of sounds I’ve heard on an Acoustasonic Player model to date – but there are still caveats”: Fender FINNEAS Acoustasonic Player Telecaster review

Date:

Guitar World Verdict

The inclusion of onboard chorus and more acoustic variety in place of the brasher piezo tones of previous Player Acoustasonic models proves an appealing combination here – but it still comes at a relatively high entry price, especially for younger players.

Pros

  • +

    Addition of chorus enhances variation

  • +

    Shawbucker on Tele is welcome

  • +

    An immensely playable neck

Cons

  • It costs $200 more than the standard Player Telecaster

  • Finish could divide option
