W+S Acoustasonic® Telecaster Kit

This kit will produce a beautiful hybrid guitar, that combines a classic Fender electric body shape with traditional hollow mahogany and Italian Alpine Spruce construction.

What strikes you immediately is that this guitar is just so easy to play. It provides versatility and flexibility and weighs in at a little over 2kg which makes it a perfect instrument for the sofa.  It sits in the lap as snugly as any solid body, yet is a great guitar without amplification, although…. plugging it in will produce clear smooth highs, soulful mids and bodacious bass.

The electronics include the ground-breaking Schaller preamp. The state-of-the-art Flagship circuitry provides unprecedented signal fidelity along with exceptional operational convenience. The Flagship gold-contact 5-way Mega switch lets you choose from a vast variety of piezo and magnetic switching-options and combinations never seen in any preamp before. With this system, a single 9V alkaline battery will provide you with 1,000+ hours of playing time.

Instant and effortless good fun.
