RIP John Prine

Bruce Springsteen has paid tribute to "songwriter for the ages" John Prine following his death on Tuesday.

The 73-year-old passed away at Nashville's Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Tennessee from complications related to the coronavirus. He was hospitalised last month and placed in intensive care for 13 days after testing positive for Covid-19.

Following news of his death, confirmed by his wife and manager, stars flocked to social media to share their condolences, with Springsteen remembering his friend and former collaborator as the "loveliest guy in the world".

"Over here on E Street, we are crushed by the loss of John Prine," he wrote on Twitter. "John and I were 'New Dylans' together in the early '70s and he was never anything but the loveliest guy in the world. A true national treasure and a songwriter for the ages. We send love and prayers to his family."

After meeting backstage at a Bob Dylan show in the 1970s, Springsteen and Prine became friends, and took to the stage together to perform Prine's Paradise in 1988. Springsteen went on to contribute backing vocals to the song Take a Look at My Heart, which featured on Prine's 1991 album The Missing Years.

Other stars to pay tribute to the country and folk music icon included Miranda Lambert, who shared a picture of herself and Prine on her Instagram page and wrote: "Thank you for everything. One and only. #hellointhere #johnprine."

"My heart hurts learning that John Prine has passed away. He is singing with the angels. You will be missed but your songs will live on," Sheryl Crow posted on her Instagram page, while Toby Keith added: "The great John Prine has passed away from the virus. He showed me how to 'let it rip' when it comes to songwriting. There's a huge hole in the music world tonight. John did it best. RIP."

Fender Expands Guitar Innovation with American Acousticsonic Stratocaster

Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) today celebrates the official launch of the newest model in the American Acoustasonic® Series, the American Acoustasonic Stratocaster. Originally previewed at Winter NAMM 2020, this Strat is a continuation of the platform that the Telecaster started, giving players a new set of sonics and the undeniable Strat playing experience. This all-new model is inspired by its sister Telecaster platform, but also moves the series forward with creative options in new design and technology. Already being used across many genres by artists – such as Rob "Freaky Rob" Gueringer, Billy Strings, Lindsay Ell, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Molly Tuttle, Brandon Walters, Striking Matches, Naia Izumi, Carmen Vandenberg, Jose Rios and MIYAVI – Fender showcases what these guitars and remarkable artists can do together.

Building off of the highly successful Acoustasonic Telecaster® released at Winter NAMM 2019, the American Acoustasonic Stratocaster ($1,999.99) features all-new tonewoods and voices with even more electric possibilities. Along with three unique electric voices on the selector switch, the Acoustasonic Stratocaster also adds all-new acoustic options, including short scale and concert body with a slotted headstock. To showcase the differences between the two models, Fender invited two acclaimed guitarists and performers, country music picker Daniel Donato and guitarist, singer and blues-rocker Tyler Bryant, to go head to head in a guitar-playing shootout.

“We are proud to continue expanding our most sonically innovative platform with the American Acoustasonic Stratocaster,” said Billy Martinez, Fender VP Category Manager, Acoustic Division. “Following in the footsteps of what Fender accomplished over 70 years ago, it was a natural and authentic progression for us to start with the Telecaster model and then offer a Stratocaster counterpart with its own unique voices. We can’t wait to see what musicians, both Strat enthusiasts and acoustic fans, will achieve in their creative process with this new range of voices the Acoustasonic Stratocaster unlocks.” 

Designed with a fully hollow body and Fender’s patented Stringed Instrument Resonance System (SIRS), the American Acoustasonic Stratocaster offers a new sonic experience that is naturally loud and resonant both on and off stage. This hybrid guitar features an Acoustasonic Noiseless™ magnetic pickup that delivers a unique set of Stratocaster-inspired voicings and hum-free Fender electric tone, that can be played solo or blended with an acoustic voice to create new sounds. The Fender and Fishman®-designed Acoustic Engine powers the Acoustasonic Stratocaster and provides a new body style and tone wood combinations that enable musicians to curate an all-new collection of acoustic and electric voices. This contemporary guitar also features a mahogany Stratocaster neck with an ebony fingerboard and thinline body that makes it both comfortable and easy to play. 

“We’ve removed the obstacles associated with playing an acoustic guitar, giving players those same sounds with an electric neck and comfortable thin line acoustic body – all in a familiar Strat body shape,” Martinez added. “At the same time, this guitar still gives you all the tonal options you would get in a Dreadnought, concert or auditorium acoustic guitar.”
