Fender has announced a significant expansion of its innovative Acoustasonic line with introducing the Acoustasonic Standard Series. This new series departs from the premium pricing of previous Acoustasonic models, bringing the unique hybrid acoustic-electric design to a wider audience. Following the recent launch of the Indonesian-made Standard Series instruments, this move solidifies Fender’s commitment to providing high-quality instruments at more accessible price points.

Acoustasonic Standard Series

The Acoustasonic line, first introduced in 2019, has become known for its forward-thinking approach, seamlessly blending elements of electric and acoustic guitars. Previously, these instruments carried a price tag of around $2,000, placing them in the premium market segment. However, the newly unveiled Acoustasonic Standard Telecaster and Acoustasonic Standard Jazzmaster, both manufactured in Indonesia, will be available for just $599.99 each.
