What is you favorite feature on the Acoustasonic?

Admit it Fender, you made this guitar so that people could play all parts of Stairway to heaven on one guitar at the music store

I’m not into this particular model but for some reason I like watching videos about it

Are you an electric or acoustic guitar? Guitar...yes.

Take a shot every time he plays a g chord

Hats off to Fender for pushing the envelope. This technology will only get better. Like the idea.

Was hoping to hear a little more string bending. Anything Jazz, Rock or Blues would speak volumes(or not) for this instrument.

His voice sounds like John Mayers

I just purchased this guitar and all I can say is "Wow!".... This is MY GUITAR. I love that it feels more comfortable than my Fender Stratocaster and allows me to play it all on one guitar. I couldn't be happier. I'm so inspired that I'm sure to improve my playing skills because I don't have to change out guitars from Acoustic to Electric anymore. I can jam with the one and play anything I want. 🥳🤭😊🥰🥰🥰🥰

i bet you feel vegan playing this

Subtitles: “(Acoustic guitar plays)”

this tele in particular feels like a lot of thought went into this. different wood on different positions of the pickup switch and the A/B knobs, giving versatility to the soundscape in tone for folk, country, or whatever acoustic range a player can find. sounds great with effects and the bends in this baby is a trait rare in some acoustic builds. I just wish these dudes would push some boundaries unless they're trying to hide the flaws.

My review of the actual guitar: First let me say, I had high hopes for this. I play in a country rock band with lots of guitar changes during our set. This disrupts the flow of the show quite a bit. While I would never use something like this in a studio setting, I saw this as a potential solution for me on stage. I ordered one. When it arrived, I unpacked it and played for about 30 minutes, and decided it wasn’t for me. Why? Well, first the good part: It really does sound great plugged in. There are several good, useable acoustic sounds, and the Tele pickup is also passable. What I didn’t like was the tone/blend knob layout. In a live situation, where I’m singing lead, and trying to switch between electric and acoustic sounds, there is no way, in some combinations, to switch back and forth with ease. It would require carefully switching the 5-way to the right position, and then making sure the blend knob was in the right setting. WAY too much to think about, when the whole point was to try and simplify. This sort of switching might be great in a studio setting, where you have a lot of time to tweak and find just the right sound, as in the video above. But I have great vintage “real” acoustic guitars that I would much prefer to record with... As I said, this was supposed to be for live playing. Also, I really didn’t like the feel of the guitar. I could not escape the feeling that I was playing a Baby Taylor. It doesn’t feel like an acoustic, and it doesn’t feel like an electric... so, does it feel like an old pair of jeans? Uh, no. Look, guitars are very personal beasts. To feel comfort on stage, you’ve got to have something in your hands that feels familiar. This couldn’t have felt more foreign to me. And, it did not have the feel of a high end guitar (read price tag). This felt like something that should be under 1k. I’m sorry to say that, and I’m not one of the “looks new/different and therefore can’t be good” haters who have lined up here to poopoo on Fender’s parade. I’m just writing this in the hope of dissuading people from ordering this online and having to return it; a gamble i wittingly entered into, and lost $114 in return shipping costs. If you think you may be interested in this, GO PLAY ONE IN A STORE. Don’t buy it online. Fender gets extra points for development and innovation. I just don’t think it quite landed. At least not for me. YMMV. Cheers.

Got my sunburst yesterday and it surprised me how good it sounds, unplugged! And it resonates soooo much.

I have no idea if it's going to get easier or harder to get picks out of the soundhole

A triumph! Great to hear the acoustasonic given a bit of welly, I’m looking forward to trying it out for myself.

The Tele version looks much more enticing than the new Strat version.

I think this is the greatest Fender ever made since the Stratocaster. Leo would be proud!

I like everything about this guitar. I’m sold. I want one.

This is exactly the innovation I have been waiting for Fender to come out with over the past 15 years. I stopped playing guitar mostly because I got tired of lugging around my electric rig everywhere...but not ever finding the right electric/acoustic also. After 3 years of blowing money and time buying and selling electric/acoustic guitars and lugging my rig everywhere...I threw up my hands and quit playing. I think this will get me back in the game. I started saving for it yesterday. Thank you Fender...you've done it again.

Now i know what guitar i want for life!

Finally, something new. We all have our favorites but something new has been added. I already have enough guitars to cover just about everything I like, but I don't have one of these. That may change.

Idk why this guitar seems to be getting hate it seems beautiful and innovative. To each their own I guess

So far I'm sold. Will have to get a few in my hands to experience for myself before I decide whether I'll bring one into my life or pass, but I do love the versatility of this instrument. Been wanting both a traditional Tele and a Martin 00015M. While this doesn't exactly sound like the Martin, it could still fit my minimal acoustic needs while giving me some Tele twang when needed, so I'm excited about playing one of these. My only lingering question is... how much?? I appreciate that Fender is trying to innovate. That must be challenging when you essentially have to redress the same basic product line over decades. This is how you stay fresh. Hoping this instrument lives up to the positive buzz I've been feeling so far.

This guitar sounds and looks fantastic. I've been eyeing Acoustasonic for a while now, i'll definitely own one in the future.

It’s amazing

What a beautiful guitar

When people ride me for being a lifelong Fender customer it is guitars like this that keep me coming back for more.

Please make squier version of this. its too expensive for me

I really love these!

Excellent video - you sold me the guitar.

I think this would be the perfect guitar for the stage. Also for looping. It would certainly mean I would only need to bring one or two guitars instead of the four acoustic and two electrics I bring now (or whenever the whole Corona virus deal is over and we can all get back to playing live. The only drawback would be my wife would rather I break my back hauling a bunch of instruments then tonbuy a new one.

I think Fender has a game changer in this instrument

I like this what an amazing guitar

Was ist das denn für eine geile Gitarre, darauf habe ich schon lange gewartet...das wird meine Gitarre! 🤠

But can you play wonder wall on it?

For 2k you could literally get a beautiful Martin standard series guitar Om-28, 00-18 etc that would last you a lifetime

Can you get separate outputs for the acoustic and magnetic pickups respectively? For the magnetic, do zebra strings give more tone?

Finally got my hands on one of these at my local shop today; they had just gotten two in yesterday. Tone and looks are subjective, so your (or my) opinion on the matter is worthless to anyone else. Personally I dig the look, and the tones in person are great (KZfaq videos mangle sound quality). I spent a good half hour playing it into a Princeton and loved it; also gathered some curious and interested lookers-on. Everyone there came away a fan and I came away owning one of them. My use case is a solo singer/songwriter type of schtick and being able to switch back and forth between acoustic and electric while only schlepping one axe is pure gold. Again, YMMV, but I found the sound across all 10 settings, direct into amp with neutral EQ, to be stellar.

G, he sure did play that chord a lot.

Sounds impressive. But I'd have to try one in a store to be bettered convinced. We'll see.

Pretty Amazing!

great guitar

As an ex electric player now moved to acoustic, I really like this. Love the look and the options available for play. Good video

I have to say that I did not like the sound of the guitar when it was completely unplugged. It sounded great through the amp and it's gorgeous.

I want you guys to come out with the Nandi bushell strat and tele

Hello, I was wondering what amp was ideal if you want to play acoustic and electric pickups on one amp?

Quiero una de esas

Im curious to play it to see if it‘ll be as easy to push the strings down as an electric.

I really like it, the blend with acoustic and electric

sounds great; I want one; it’s a shame there’s not much guitar music in Pop music anymore

Hello Guys, What Fender affordable amp would you suggest for this guitar ? I mean a versatile amp that can cover all acoustasonic player telecaster mods. Thanks for your help !

Very well. But does it DJENT tho?

Where do i sign up to win one.

just got mine today

Fender please make such bass

How is the bending action on one of these? I bend my strings frequently and hard! Is it similar to an electric guitar?

Hi, which fender ampli is best suited for an Acoustasonic? Tks

I like the idea of the Acoustasonic because it feels like an electric guitar, but has that genuine acoustic sound that you can’t get from a clean guitar but at the same time, acoustic guitars don’t really feel too comfortable for me because of how widebodied they are. I definitely am intrigued and want to at least play it before I get it.

Hi, I recently purchased this guitar. Is it normal to have a volume difference in between tones I’m talking about 20% to 50% volume difference between tone to tone?

Mantep pisann

Position 3A sounds the best.... is there a way to get the selector to stop on 3A without using a piece of tape?

Really beating that G chord to death there bud

I want one very badly!

If only I had the money to get one of these beasts

Do you have to switch amps when switching from dirty to acoustic?

I liked the presentation - just let us listen to the guitar. Many videos are just people showing off fancy playing.

7:01 sounds like Desert Song tone by Def Leppard 🤟

Hmm intersting concept.

Has a thin body parlor sound when unplugged, but plugged in is where the magic happens.

I have a 2012 Fender Strat deluxe which are apparently worth about $1600 used on reverb and $2k to guitar shop. Played it forever. Know it’s an amazing guitar but couldn’t figure it out. Thought maybe I’m an acoustic guy but played one for all of 5 mins and knew that body shape is NOT me. So I was like maybe bass my friend said it’s easier to get started on. I do like the funk of of a jazz bass but still. Just doesn’t feel me. Doesn’t feel right. I went into a local guitar store today and saw one of these hanging on the way. I played one A, E, G chord. Literally that simple just stroked all 3 notes and yep. 100% favorite guitar I’ve ever touched, heard, looked at, saw the price tag was $1995.00 there for the American version so knew I had to save a bit. Went home and looked on reverb, and a shop in Cape Coral was selling one for $1095 SHIPPED! It had only been up 1 hour and was already in 7 other peoples checkout carts. For that price, I could see why. Needless to say, it’ll be to my house in 2-3 business days. LOLOL sorry guys! Ya snooze, ya lose! I CANT FUCKING WAIT!!!

OK...I'm looking around right now, what can I sell so I can get this...my car, my house, my kids. An acoustic guitar that sounds that good, in a Tele.....wow.

I just bought mine and am looking forward to playing it, but please, Fender, PLEASE, can you widen your selection of left-handed models and wood types? Or make a Player version in left-handed? We lefties are always getting the fuzzy end of the lollipop!

They should make this model in squier as well

It does sound great!! but I can't see the point in the 'A' knob position. Cause everytime he switches to 'B' it just sounds better and fuller!

Is there a maple fretboard option?

i want itttttttttttt

All the sounds seem to suffer from a boxy, banjo like undertone very similar to a line 6 Variax - I think the lack of air and resonance in the body is a big issue for an ' acoustic' guitar - looks nice though.

This guitar seems like it was built for me. Recently, I went to the guitar center to try out both a Stratocaster and a Telecaster, and I was not impressed by either one. What I was looking for tonally simply wasn't there. I currently own a Martin D10e and a Fender Newporter, so I guess I'm a bit spoiled. This guitar is much richer than a pure electric guitar. Finally, a guitar that you can play CCR and Beethoven on, simply by turning a knob.

Can you please make a fender acoustasonic jazzmaster

3B sounds soooo good

I like it cause it’s a guitar. I like guitars

Woah.

position 3!!!

Wow Heston can play guitar.

at 4:50 when he’s playing 3B, it sounds like a song with a popular riff. does anyone know what song it sounds like??

When will Fender make left handed versions of the acoustasonic tele and Strat....?

The only thing I like about it is the body sensing pickup to do percussive stuff. I think I'll stick with my Taylor acoustic lol. ;)

It looks like it should have a hand crank and a Roy Rogers decal.

Acoustic strings or electric and what gauge?

lot of people missing the point with this guitar, it is new and different. and thank god very , very light .on your shoulder.

How do you split acoustic sounds to a mixer and guitar tones to a amp??

How do you replace the battery if it goes bad?

T5 or this Fender, how am I supposed to pick?

Can yall make left handed acoustasonics

I've got to be honest about this. It's amazing except when unplugged when the shallow body restricts resonance from the small sound hole. It's probably OK for practice but give me Larrivee acoustic every time.

I want the fender acoustasonic jazz master and jaguar and duo sonic

6:19 Ok, you convinced me, I'll buy it. Oh wait I haven't got money.

This seems to be a controversial guitar but it is a fine demo. Thank you.

The action of this one seems quite high. Can the saddle be set up to some extent otherwise it's just a piece of electric digital and wood material. Honestly, it did not sound good to me.
