Watch Lindsey Buckingham Demo the Fender American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster

Last week, Fender unveiled the latest addition to its acclaimed Acoustasonic series, the American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster.

Like its Tele and Strat siblings, this 21st century Jazzmaster aims to blend electric and acoustic guitar voicings with a fully hollow body and Fender's patented Stringed Instrument Resonance System.

Upon its release, Fender recruited no less than former Fleetwood Mac guitar hero Lindsey Buckingham to take it for a spin. You can watch him use the Acoustasonic Jazzmaster to re-work Fleetwood Mac's mega-hit, “Never Going Back Again,” in the video above.

“Even though I’ve only been with this new Jazzmaster for a short time, I can see that it would have a lot of uses in the studio," Buckingham said of the guitar at the time of its release. "I’m excited to give it some more time to get to know it a little better.

“Acoustic guitar has always been my soulmate and alter ego; it got me to a place where I guess I had my own style," Buckingham continued. “Anytime I can take that orchestral approach, I have. The American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster allows you to do just that.”

The guitar features an all-mahogany body and an all-mahogany, Modern "Deep C"-shaped neck with a carved heel, and an ebony fretboard boasting 22 narrow tall frets and a 25.5" scale length.  

For its acoustic tones, the Acoustasonic Jazzmaster comes loaded with a Fishman Under-Saddle Transducer and a Fishman Enhancer, designed to let players access 10 different body style and tone wood combinations, including four new-to-the-series settings.

For electric tones, the guitar is fitted with a Tim Shaw-designed humbucker that promises to produce more intense electrified sounds than heard on previous Acoustasonic models.

The Fender American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster is available now – in Tobacco Sunburst, Tungsten, Ocean Turquoise, Natural, and Arctic White finishes – for $1,999.
