The Fender Acoustasonic Tele® was selected as a “Gotta Stock It” product at Best In Show, a NAMM University educational session held Jan. 17 in Anaheim, Calif.

Best In Show featured six panelists––representing single-store operations, small- to mid-sized chains and one of the industry’s top trade magazines––who offered views on the best companies, products and services they saw during the NAMM Show.

“Basically, it’s an electric guitar; it’s an acoustic guitar,”. “But it’s in the beautiful Telecaster form. This is the guitar for the gigging musician who needs an electric and an acoustic but doesn’t want to haul them both around. The body is chambered, it has a rosewood bridge. But at the core, it has Fishman’s Aura technology and an under-saddle piezo pickup. I found the acoustic sounds to be really convincing. They sounded like a really solid plugged-in acoustic with a great pickup.” well this was after a few of the American beers and a bloody mary.
