The Grateful Dead - Jerry Garcia's Guitars. Your Real First Guitar - April Fools Day!. Very few models were made.įender has since issued several versions of the Acoustisonic Tele, the last was in 2010. The soundhole on all was an offset oval and the bridge had a very unique shape. The bridge was Pau ferro with laminated ebony and the electronics were active. The tuners were Fender/Schaller models with pearl buttons. The custom model had a solid spruce top, Honduras mahogany back and sides, maple neck with a rosewood fretboard that had no inlays. The darkness on the neck in the picture above is due to heavy use during touring and recording. The deluxe model had a 2 piece spruce top, mahogany back, pearl button tuners, maple neck with a rosewood fretboard with dot inlays and an ebony bridge. 'Gargoyle' description: Ash body, bolt-on unfinished maple neck, 22 medium jumbo frets, 1 Bartolini humbucker in the bridge and a Bartolini single coil in the neck. The standard came with a 2 piece spruce top, a basswood back and sides, a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard and dot inlays, cream coloured tuning pegs and a black ebony bridge. There were 3 MIJ models (made in Japan) Telecoustics. This was a transition period with Fender and about that time, Fender had no US production. 
These instruments all had wooden asymmetrical bodies that were shaped somewhat like a Telecaster (KFT) or a Stratocaster (FBS). It was originally developed in Fender’s custom shop and came with a wooden body, but was very expensive. In 1988 Kramer enlisted the help of famed luthier Danny Ferrington to design a production model instrument known as the KFS or KFT or for the bassists it was the KFB.
This was an idea developed by luthier John Page, who gave us some great Fender guitars during his tenure with the company. Fender has been building its Telecoustic and Stratacoustic guitars back in 1991. Ferrington’s main thing was to design guitars with asymmetrical or unusual shapes.
