Hello all.

What strings (Fender or other) have any of you tried with the Fender acoustasonic telecaster?

Will a 80/20 work well with this guitar?

Thanks

You're asking a question that would get a different answer from everyone. String preferences, you know...
So: just get a couple of packs of different strings and experiment.

Agreed, but this one guitar being a "animal of a different color" I was looking for any experience
since it has both a traditional Tele single coil and a piezo pickup. I asked the GC counter help guy
for a set of Acoustic/electric strings and he showed me all the Acoustic strings. I tried to explaining
what I owned and that I was looking for Acoustic/Electric strings like some DR Zebras. All I got back
was a confused lost puppy dog look.

The previous owner had a set of D'addario strings that looked nickle coated, a wound 3rd string and
sounded as flat as a old girlfriend I used to have. ( I am old, I can say silly stuff like that ). I am glad he
did this as the guitar looked like it had never been played and was priced to move.

The little bit I found on the internet led me to try a set of Elixir 80/20 Acoustic 11s Polywebs I had
in the shop that made all the difference. I was surprised to hear the neck pickup was singing as a Tele
should as well.

Later tonight I will try the stereo setup with a Fender 94 twin and (since the GC had no Fender
Acoustic amps) a Acoustic AG30.

Later!!
