Help identifying Fender acoustic guitar...

"Fender" is written on the headstock, so we know that much :-) Other than that, I notice it has no pickguard, and the end of the neck comes to a point.

I haven't come across any Fenders that match this one exactly. Any ideas?

it doesn't look like an affordable, off the shelf at GC type model... who is that a picture of?

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

It's actually Avicii :)

Someone submitted the guitar to his Equipboard but the submission is pretty incomplete, and we've been getting a bunch of emails from people wanting it properly identified!

It's driving me nuts I cannot find a single one with the neck that comes to a point like that.

It might be custom shop. I was just hanging out with a friend of mine and I played his fender custom shop tele and its a subtley weird looking tele that doesn't look like ANY stock model you've ever seen right down to oddball bridge and saddles. Little details like the oddball point at the end of the fretboard make me think its some short-run masterbuilt axe. It sure looks like fender's basic custom shop dreadnought with that decorative fingerboard point thrown on. Fender will do whatever you want if you pay.

There's just not a lot of photographic documentary evidence for all of Fender's acoustic guitar lines since the riginal 60s/70s bolt-ons because no one plays a fender acoustic. If its not a custom jobby this guy's acoustic is something from the Spring Hill series, though I can't find a single photo of a Spring Hill series acoustic with all the features this one has.

Yup, I've seen a few teles with such differences, even in aesthetics (My friend in the band has some telecaster with a funky pickguard colour and and slightly darker seafoam-green body) and they don't come up on the Fender website. If it's a Custom Shop, I think it would be appropriate to name it as so. Avicii's acoustic may have either been made specifically for him, or that was a limited run.

Either way, I suggest finding more information regarding Avicii and his guitar rather than the identity itself.

It's on a podcast, so I suppose this is the origin photo...
