Fender releases limited-edition American Acoustasonic Telecaster with Ziricote top
The guitar also boasts black limba back, sides and neck, along with the Acoustasonic’s groundbreaking technology
After announcing new tonewood iterations of the buzz-worthy Acoustasonic back in July, Fender has now released the American Acoustasonic Telecaster Ziricote.
The new limited edition hybrid acoustic and electric model boasts a Ziricote top and black limba back, sides and neck.
There’s also a modern deep-C profile neck, an ebony fingerboard and ebony tuning machines.
Otherwise, the Tele Ziricote incorporates all of the Acoustasonic’s impressive features and technology, including a fully hollow Tele body with an integrated forearm contour, the company’s Stringed Instrument Resonance System (which aims to deliver “a naturally loud voice with lively harmonics), a Fender- and Fishman-designed Acoustic Engine that delivers 10 different body style and tone wood combinations and a Mod Knob that selects and blends voices, among other features.
The American Acoustasonic Telecaster Ziricote is available now for $3,299.
