“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
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
