Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) announces the launch of the FINNEAS Acoustasonic® Player Telecaster® and Limited Edition FINNEAS Acoustasonic® Telecaster®, signature guitars crafted in collaboration with Multi-Academy and GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer, FINNEAS. Renowned for his innovative approach to production and songwriting, FINNEAS has made a significant impact on the modern music landscape, shaping the sounds of a new generation. These one-of-a-kind instruments, designed to mirror FINNEAS’s versatile style and expressive artistic vision, offer musicians an inspiring tool for creating new sonic expressions, embodying the same creativity and boundary-pushing spirit that FINNEAS brings to his work.

Having picked up his first guitar at the age of 12, FINNEAS’ guitar-playing journey has been a key element in his career. Known for his ability to seamlessly blend acoustic and electronic elements, his music resonates with authenticity and emotional depth. In March 2019, he garnered widespread acclaim for his Grammy-winning contributions to Billie Eilish’s breakthrough album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?. FINNEAS then stepped into the spotlight with his own debut, the Blood Harmony EP in 2019, followed by his debut full-length album, Optimist, in 2021. His latest collaboration with Billie Eilish on her album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT continues to push musical boundaries and has garnered critical acclaim, further solidifying their impact on the music industry. Together, they have captivated a global audience, inspiring a new generation of artists to explore and embrace authenticity and vulnerability in their music. Their dynamic partnership has become a beacon for those seeking to innovate and express genuine emotion through their art.

“The most important thing to me about a guitar is versatility,” said FINNEAS. “I was first introduced to the Acoustasonic® guitar in 2019 when I was on tour with Billie, and I played it at every show that year. When we started conversations about my signature model, I knew this guitar was great in a live setting, and I wanted to find ways to take it into the studio and make it a versatile, expressive studio instrument. This is the result of that.”

In addition to the release of his first-ever signature guitar, FINNEAS has just released his latest single, “For Cryin’ Out Loud!”, now available on all major streaming platforms. This track is a precursor to his much-anticipated sophomore album, For Cryin’ Out Loud!, which is set to be released on October 4. Fans can pre-order, add, or save the album now through the provided link HERE.

The FINNEAS Acoustasonic® Player Telecaster® and the Limited Edition FINNEAS Acoustasonic® Telecaster® guitars mark Fender’s first-ever Acoustasonic® artist signature guitars. Distinguished by custom electronics curated by FINNEAS, these models combine a magnetic Acoustasonic® Shawbucker™ pickup and a Fishman undersaddle transducer to deliver clean electric, small-body acoustic, and dreadnought acoustic tones. Additionally, both models feature an onboard chorus effect selected by FINNEAS, seamlessly integrating added sonic characters.

The key differences lie in their finishes and places of manufacture: the standard model boasts a modern Cappuccino Fade satin finish on its solid spruce top, while the LE features an all-Arctic White satin finish for a premium aesthetic. Both guitars share a Modern Deep “C”-shape neck for a confident yet comfortable feel and a Shawbucker™ magnetic pickup known for its tonal charm and noiseless performance, ideal for studio use. The standard model is made at Fender’s Ensenada facility in Mexico, whereas the limited edition is crafted at Fender’s historic facility in Corona, California.

“We are incredibly proud to collaborate with FINNEAS on his first signature guitar,” said Justin Norvell, EVP of Product at FMIC. “The FINNEAS Acoustasonic® Player Telecaster® and LE FINNEAS Acoustasonic® Telecaster® capture the unique blend of acoustic, electric and onboard effected tones that characterize his music. This guitar is more than an instrument; it’s a versatile tool meant to inspire the next generation of producers and artists to explore new sonic landscapes and push their creative boundaries. FINNEAS’s innovative spirit and dedication to authenticity shine through in every detail of these signature models.”

In true tradition, the Fender Artist Signature Series honors iconic musicians through product progression and storytelling, creating instruments and gear inspired by the unique specifications of the world’s greatest guitarists and bassists.
