That intro music: thank you for holding. Your conference call will begin when the host joins. Please continue to hold.

Thank You, Fender, for loaning out a Fender Acoustasonic Stratocaster to Paul Davids. I firmly believe that he gave an Honest Review, as we, the audience, watched him unbox it and proceed to check out all of the different voices that the guitar has. I believe that it was his looping section that really shows the versitility of the guitar, and, as a Bonus, sounds Great ! He gave the guitar a Great Review, and he said that it makes him smile, and that is important ! Great Job Fender, making the guitar, and then choosing (WISELY) to loan one to Paul Davids. He did you guys Proud ! He Clearly Demonstrated why Fender is, and will always be, The Best !

When's the acoustasonic jazzmaster coming out? 🙂 Edit (March 16 2021): They actually made one ahhah😂

Fender precision bass acoustasonic.

I could listen to him play the last thing he plays for an hour straight, beautiful.

A lot of undeserved snark here. I got mine yesterday and love this like no flat top acoustic I have owned. Playing through a Fishman Loudbox and it sounds great. Later today I'll get an A/B switch so I can run position one through a Blues Junior. I love the idea of these and the sounds that are coming out.

It's like getting two guitars for the price of three!

I would gladly pay the price if it came with the ability to play like him.

Y’all know we gonna get that acoustasonic mustang 🤣

Why didn't you just put the pickup on the neck to really differentiate it from the Tele one so you can have a more Strat-like sound of a Strat guitar?

Picked mine up today. Just amazing. Can't wait to play it live.

Sean Halley!!! Love this guy!! Aside from the awesome radio voice, he has such a great, sensitive, rich, versatile playing... Thumbs up!

That finger-nails-on-a-chalk-board feeling 1:16

I love it, it sounds beautiful. Well done Fender 👏🏼

I have one, and it is an awesome instrument. The craftsmanship in building the instrument is impressive. Give it a try.

Excellent demonstration - succinct, told me all I needed to know. Many thanks.

I want sean halley to demo all the fender guitars 😍

Incredible ... amazing guitar ! Sounds and looks awesome ! Thought I didnt need any more guitars .... now this shows up !

This has quite unique sounds

I've been a drummer my entire life. From 5th grade through college and beyond, I've had sticks in my hand and rhythm in my heart. But while I'm flying home to CT from Wyoming in my plane (It's a Piper Aztec E if you're wondering) I wanted to play something for my kids, and since you cant haul a kit into a tiny plane, I'm learining gutair. I got my acoustasonic from my cousin, and now I'm looking for some general tips.

Was wondering where Sean landed. He really is great at this, an amazing player, who also knows how to thoroughly explain product. Not too many with these skills

First off, Sean nails this demo. Fender is lucky to have him onboard. I saw the tele at the Nashville NAMM last year. Like all NAMM's it was too loud to actually hear what it sounded like.. I picked it up and strummed it.. put it down and thought.. I don't get it..... Then 5 months later I'm in a guitar center in Nashville (yes I know.. don't judge me..) Saw one hanging up next to the electrics. Asked the salesman if I could go play it in the acoustic room, he says "sure we just got that one in.. nobody's really played it". So I take it into the acoustic room and tuned it up and started playing it acoustically first. Wow.. lightweight, great neck and was fun to play unplugged. Then I plug into one of the acoustic amps they have on the floor. I was floored. The acoustic sounds were fantastic through that little amp. It does not sound like an acoustic with a piezo.. it sounds like you put a great mic on a real acoustic. So I'm noodling around and the salesman walks in and is looking at me while I'm playing. He says.. "wow that sounds amazing - let's plug it into the Bose!" So we plug it into the Bose PA and crank it up. Our jaws dropped to the ground. It sounded like a great acoustic guitar... really loud.. no feedback. We just kept turning it up louder... other sales guys and customers were walking in with smiles on their faces wondering where this sound was coming from. Look, it's not an acoustic or an electric. It's something different... but damn.. EVERY sound was fantastic. We just kept turning the PA up louder while playing the acoustic sounds... NO feedback! It sounded amazing. That setting where you can mix in the body sounds with the acoustic sounds is fantastic if you have a style where you slap the strings a bit or tap the top -- so much fun! Another one of the things that EVERYBODY misses when they demo these guitars, if you switch to the electric sounds you can stay on PA! (which Sean actually demos here! ) You don't have to play the electric sounds through an electric amp! The FAT electric switch position sounds like a deluxe just breaking up a bit -- through a PA! We were just looking at each other in that acoustic room while I was playing semi distorted telecaster sounds through a PA! It was wild.. lol I walked away from that and thought... crap now I gotta find a way to drop $2k on this guitar. And of course since then I've watched every video on these guitars and went back and played them a bunch of time's at different stores.. People just don't get this... it's not a replacement for an acoustic or an electric guitar -- it's something new.. and fun and frankly kind of magical. I mean... I've been playing for over 40 years.. acoustics, electrics... and this was just so fun and different and musical. And yes, I've got acoustic's with piezos and mic's in them, and a line 6 variax and a taylor T5 and I've played all the different hollow body acoustic type guitars. This thing is different and Fishman nailed it. And yes... it's $2k -- yikes... And crap... I was saving for the tele and now they bring out this strat shape... now I have to decide what one to get and if there is really any difference between the two. So.. before you pass judgement on this thing because it looks goofy or whatever... do yourself a favor.. go play one in a quiet room through a PA or acoustic amp.

I am speechless ! I might just start playing again !!

It's so smooth!!!

That guitar's on my bucket list.

Fantastic sound .. And you can play man.. Great job..

Epic beautiful acoustic guitar solo. Kudos. Bravo! It reminds me of Little Martha a bit. I wish I had that backing track.

The sound was better than the official Acoustasonic telecaster demos Fender put out. They had a lot of buzz and flab. This has a little but I could live with it.

lowkey loving this

I love this guitar. Two questions, though: The electric pickup sounds good through the PA, but how do the acoustic pickups sound through the Deluxe? And how does it sound unplugged? He said it sounds good, but we didn't get a demo.

I love your playing! This guitar sounds so much better than the Tele version to me.

I dont have any Fender planning to have one,i think i found what i need and fits for the Acoustic gig.

beautiful instrument ... sounds really great .... and great playing btw ... !!!

Amazing visual and sounds!

It reminds me of a plastic guitar I saw a KMart years and years ago.

Awesome! Now give me one Django’s Selmer Maccaferi, Willie’s Trigger, and David Rawlings’s Epiphone Olympic archtop so I can bring this to all gigs along with a regular Telecaster instead of a bunch of guitars. I’ll be waiting.

great job Sean, thank you

Please do make a fender squier acoustasonic Stratocaster, it will be the most loved strat ever

That’s some beautiful playing.

FREAKING LOVE THIS!

Great playing and sound...

BEAUTIFUL!

As a Gibson fanboy, I think that this is smart design. It plays to a strat’s strengths and smartly augments them while still being strat-like at the end of the day. I’m impressed.

Honestly this is such enjoyable music i could jam to this

Amazing instrument. Would love to see a bass version.

Great sounding guitar.

Very late to the party here, but that was a beautiful opening piece, Sean. Looking good too!

ill wait for the squire acoustasonic

which strings should i use for the kind of guitar?

I'd probably get one if there was a more affordable Squier version

JUST CANT GET THIS RIFF OUT OF MY HEAD!!!! Stunning, where can I get the TAB , please? I'll buy one, honest.

Go Fender!

This is a game changer!

GOSG DANG THAT SANGGGGSSSSSSS

i just got one what a unique soul it will find its way into my inspiration

The acoustic tones on both this and the Acoustasonic tele are brilliant, however on the electrical side the tele sounds better. Nice colours though!

I WANT ONE NOW!

You omitted the fact that you tuned it down a full whole step or at least lowered the E string to a D. That gave the licks you were playing a nice full deep tone. Nice sounding guitar.

This looks like the ultimate blues guitar.

Nice just bought one

Gorgeous

Sean is a wizard!

0:00 i like this tune can some body tell me what its called ?

👍 Good friend 🙂 💫 👍 i take for me to playlist instrumental electric guitar 🎸 🎶

i want it so badlyyyyy

swwet playing, thanks!

This guitar is awesome... I want one...

Like the Tele, it sounds a little banjo-like to me.

Nice looking and nice sound! ...any acoustasonic precision bass?? :D

How can I plug into both guitar amp and foh with just one single output? a y-cable won't do it in this case, two different outputs would have to be active depending on the selected model.

Love it

I think I love this....

what was that 2nd to last piece he was playing it was beautiful

Sweet!

This thing is amazing ❤️🎸🎸

🔥🔥🔥

This and the Tele version are both cool. How about making one with a maple fretboard? I’m fine with the price. I think it’s worth every penny, but I’ve got to have a maple fretboard on my Fenders.

The deep sound is helped by the low E string tuned down to a D. My question would be put it through a Marshall and see if it feeds back at all. Also to note, those are acoustic strings. I just wonder what gauge?

What is the name of that last bluesy song! Beautiful!

How about an acoustic guitar but instead of a soundhole.... Humbuckers

This sounds like a drop D tuning? Are they doing that to give it more bottom end? That need to state that up front.

What if I want to learn the songs he is playing? Where can I learn them?

Increíble instrumento, es impresionante 👏

I love mine

Please bring out a squire bullet version

I hope someone can answer my question How do i get one in puerto rico!? There is no guitar dealer with an acoustasonic strat or tele (that i know of) in puerto rico😢

My goodness, He can PLAY!

What I would love to see is something with more electric options, like two electric pickups, but still keeps a couple great acoustic sounds.

Finally something innovative. Nice concept.

1. Acoustic or electric strings? 2. If you were to switch between the acoustic and electric sound, do you use an A/B switch pedal and di the output A to PA, and B to an amp?

We neeeeed the acoustic p bass!!!

What kind of strings are being used?

🙌🔥

woah

I don't really associate my identity with brands.. But this is another reason I'm glad my Strat is a G&L

Hmmmm... this thing would look awesome with a roasted finish body or maybe a beautiful koa veneer top.

Great presentation . Seems slightly better tone wise compared to the Acoustasonic Tele. Not sure why you need a "dirty" sound uness you are totally devoid of any overdrive pedal . My Taylor T5 still has couple of aces up its sleeve !

I love the concept of this guitar and everything about it with one exception. It looks cartoonish, the paint jobs not working yo. Hope there are other versions...

If they could make it nail a nylon strung guitar sound, I’d be really impressed 😂

I have a feeling that this is also going to be costing $1,000 as well with the last model but I just saw that looks exactly like that but a telecaster looking thing
