Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) has enlisted singer-songwriter and producer FINNEAS to educate players and answer questions about the revolutionary American Acoustasonic® series — a first-of-its-kind, truly new category of guitar that has pushed boundaries for the industry. Off the heels of the American Acoustasonic® Jazzmaster® guitar released earlier this year, Fender is working to let players know that “acoustic” and “electric” are no longer the only guitars out there: Acoustasonic®guitars can bring the best of both worlds along with unique sounds all their own.
In addition to consulting one of Fender’s trusted dealers worldwide, players in both the US and UK can call for a chance to talk with FINNEAS or Fender’s product experts about this massive step forward for guitarists everywhere. In order to enter for a chance to win time with FINNEAS, players must call to enter only during the below days and times, calls outside these times will not be able to submit an entry.
- US-based musicians can call (833) 4-JAZMSTR from July 21 to August 4, Monday through Friday, 12:00pm- 2:00pm (MST)
- UK-based musicians can call 0800 015 2838 from July 21 to August 4, Monday through Friday, 12:00pm- 2:00pm (BST)
Callers to these hotlines will hear FINNEAS’ “What They’ll Say About Us” as their hold music, followed by a prompt to make one of two selections.
- By pressing 1, callers can enter to win by leaving FINNEAS a voicemail asking him a question about the American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster or about his creative process using the guitar. The best questions submitted by August 4th will result in a call back from FINNEAS himself, so all participants must leave their name, email and phone number for the chance to have a one-on-one conversation with him. Fender will announce when the hotline winners are selected on social media before they chat live with one of today’s hottest artists/producers about their craft.
- Callers that press 2 during the hotline’s operating hours will be directly connected with a Fender Gear Advisor who can talk shop about the AAJ and answer the essential questions about the guitar, such as its specs, tones and product availability with a local Authorized Fender dealer near them.
Fender’s Acoustasonic® technology, available in the Stratocaster®, Telecaster®, and Jazzmaster® guitars form factors, allows a single guitar to have the sound of ten different models. FINNEAS, known for his multiple-Grammy® award winning songs and videos alongside his sister Billie Eilish, was quick to adopt the Acoustasonic®, using it for appearances on SNL and The Tonight Show, and throughout his recording sessions. Fender and FINNEAS have partnered on (833) 4-JAZMSTR to give players a chance to ask whatever’s on their mind about this guitar-industry game changer.
“The American Acoustasonic® Jazzmaster can truly change your whole sound if you know how to use it,” said FINNEAS. “I’ve taken it with me on tour, in the studio, and on shows like SNL. So, here’s your chance. Hit me with a question, and we’ll talk about what this guitar can do for you and the sounds it can unlock.”
Fender’s full customer service hours are still available during this promotion, and can be reached in the US at 1 (800) 856-9801, Monday through Friday, 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. AZ Time and in the UK on 0333 200 8765, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. BST.
