📚 Description: Today we do an in-depth review of the Acoustasonic Stratocaster that is new for the 2020 model year line up of Fender. We do an unplugged test and comparison with an ES Styled Guitar and an Acoustic Guitar as well as go over in-depth all the electric tones as well.
A lot of people say you could buy a decent electric and a decent acoustic for the same price as the American acoustasonic stratocaster - and they are right - but this is really 7 different acoustic guitars with some electric sounds as well. This is best intended for someone that likes to play electrics, but likes sounding like an acoustic guitar and doesn't get along with the action height of acoustic guitars/their big bodies. I really enjoyed this guitar. It is a beautiful blend.

Trogly, tried a G&G Jaguar Case for the Acoustasonic Tele and it fit really well. Believe that is what Fender uses for the Exotic Wood Version that comes with the G&G Hard Case. Should try and put electric Stings on the (G-B-E) high strings. Much easier for a bit of lead playing and bending, still keeping the acoustic qualities of the lower end. Cheers! Glad ya finally did this video.. NOW to try the Tele??

I agree completely. I think after 1200$ a hard case is a good option. At 2 grand it seems a no brainer to me. Lack of a hard case says we think it's nice... but if it gets ruined in shipping we're not out much. If it doesn't fit in a standard case that means you're looking for an aftermarket case and to me that's kinda a deal breaker, 2 grand is a lot too invest on a guitar that you have to be extra extra careful with transporting it.

As a someone who owns the Tele version, I can say it is absolutely worth it. My band was playing over 30 shows in a normal year; with a few acoustic shows thrown in the mix. Rather than needing to relearn your sets and all of the solos for in acoustic set, just grab one of these and throw the right set of strings on it and you’re good to go. (Acoustic strings with an unwound g string) Both myself and the other guitarist in my band have one. I still have my traditional acoustic (Gibson songwriter deluxe). This guitar has a place in the arsenal. It’s not for everyone and is not a replacement for any of my electrics. Both of us in the band are very happy with the purchase. If you want an acoustic that plays like an electric, this is your solution.

People comparing them to actual acoustics are missing the point entirely. It's like looking at a review of a normal strat and going "why don't you just buy a Martin". They do different things, they're aimed at different people. Unless you enjoy putting electric guitar pickups with a blend circuit with the piezo and electric guitar necks onto your £3000 Martin, and then chopping off half the body to make it lighter, which if you do then you're dumb

I use my old Gibson J-200 both live & in the studio for my acoustic stuff & my Gibsons & Strat onstage at gigs so I know this isn't for me but I know it wasn't aimed at me. There are enough guys now who dig that style for Fender to decide that making 'em is a good idea.

This is the ONLY channel I would trust for an actual product review. Practically every other KZfaqr that "reviews" guitars and music equipment gets the products for free (and usually additional sponsorship money). And about 0.1% of them even say that anywhere other than hidden in the descriptions somewhere (and some don't even do that). Which is why you never see negative (or honest) reviews of ANY new products on KZfaq.

As someone from the tech space this sentiment is a bit strange to me, review samples are a standard practice and anyone whose opinion would be swayed by getting the product "for free" doesn't have enough experience to be worth your time anyways. If you expect every reviewer to pay for every item they review, they'll only look at things they know will do well as these expenses rack up, meaning obscure and even too high end stuff is at a risk of not being covered at all. Doesn't matter whether it's a 64 core processor or a novel guitar. If Gamers Nexus (802k subs, industry defining when it comes to testing methodology) can't afford to buy a 3990X (4500-ish$ depending on availability) for reviewing, how could smaller music channels hope to shell out as much for every single guitar (tech items typically are much cheaper, so these expenses add up)? Austins integrity is out of question of course, his methodology is more than excellent, but that would be the case regardless of whether the products were provided to him or not.
@johnanthony9923 4 жыл бұрын
@@tobiasboh3370 If you can't afford a product, don't do a product review. Pretty simple. If you want to do a "sponsored" video, that's fine, just say so. So people know to basically ignore it. Pick ANY product that has been "reviewed" by KZfaqrs who didn't pay for it and show me someone who says "this not a good product, don't buy it." Just one. Surely, since you're defending these "reviewers" there has been as least ONE product on the market they wouldn't recommend, right? Find me a single product that has more negative reviews than positive ones. Go ahead and send me a link to those reviews. Thanks.

This is the best review of an Acoustasonic that I've seen. In all of the other reviews, the tones all sounded thin, and metallic (in a bad way). It may be that the Acoustasonic should be played through an electric (not acoustic) guitar amp. Maybe that's why the guitar sounded so good in your review. Too bad it doesn't fit into a standard Strat hard shell case. Very nice review. Thanks

It's a one-of-a-kind sound but it's not a $2,000 sound. I actually had the expectation that it was something that could be played distorted but when he pointed out that it doesn't work like that, the price point really killed me. It looks like there are some really fancy features in it but it seems like a combination of fancy features that end up limiting the guitar too much. I feel like if $2,000 is in my price range for an acoustic guitar, I'd rather use that as an opportunity to get an amazing sounding traditional, all wood, thick, etc etc instrument .

Thanks for doing a review on this. It answered a couple of questions I have had. If you get a chance to review the old Stratacoustic I think you may be pleased by it. If I still had my 2001 model I would send it to you for a comparison. When I received it and unboxed it, it felt like a toy and I thought I would have enjoyed just setting fire to $300 instead. That changed once I began playing. Unplugged, it had sort of a banjo-like tone that was nice once you got used to it. Plugged in it sounded every inch like a Strat. Back then they were using the Fishman 4. Clean or dirty, I never had a problem with feedback. After 44 years of playing, selling and trading it's one of three guitars that caused me seller's remorse. I heard the quality went downhill in later years, but that first year of production they were the cat's original pajamas.

My hypothesis re: the patented soundhole: the low-pitched tones of an acoustic guitar are dominated by helmoltz resonance formed by the body cavity and the sound hole. The volume of compressible air in the body is a “spring” and the parcel of air moving in and out of the sound hole is a “mass.” By ducting the sound hole as they have, the mass of entrained air is increased, thus lowering the resonance frequency. This would give louder bass tones with the small cavity. What do you think?

Something like this would be awesome, I think this is just he coolest guitar! I get really bad kinks in my neck from wearing a strap with most guitars. My current guitar weighs about 8 pounds and is still a bit much for me, also I live in a small apartment and don't always want to plug into an amp and headphones and a full acoustic would be way too loud imo. Plus that's my favorite fretboard i've seen, the way the lighter color splits the darker colors near the headstock is so cool! I just wish I were in a position to pay for something like this at this time. I hope they hold up well and I can pick a decent example in the future for a reasonable price :)

Great review. The best I've seen. Very detailed. For sure the high price is much more related to the pickups and simulation board than to the guitar construction itself. Very expensive guitar. Thanks for your time.

They also made an Acoustasonic series before. It was a Strat or Tele where the electric body was carved out and a soundboard and acoustic bridge with tone and volume controls on the bridge. 18v preamp system, 3 active piezo undersaddle pickups and 3-way split saddle. It sounded thin unplugged and plugged in, but since it was an actual caster it played identical to the electric.

I can't get past the Tele-acoustic and Strat-acoustic from a few years ago. I tried the new Tele version of the guitar, and to be honest, I do not believe the sound, either amplified or acoustic, is worth $1999. Acoustically speaking, it has the sound of a Backpacker guitar, and amplified there's nothing special either. Though I do have to admit the guitar you are reviewing does has a great looking fretboard and bridge, but that doesn't account for the $1999 price tag either, and I don't see this guitar commanding such a big price tag either. Oh well, to each their own.

Great video! Thanks for the in depth contrast and comparison. Also great mix of styles when playing. Gonna have to side with most - too expensive. Played one briefly. Like the strat over tele. Prefer the gig bag over hard shell (as an active musician).

It impressed me more than anticipated. I'm not sure I'd want one, but thanks to this video, I'm not sure I wouldn't, either. It occurs to me that another option for making this axe more legitimately acoustic and electric, you could swap out the first three strings for electric strings with an unwound G-string, though you would probably want to use the first three from a 10-gauge setup. You need to fill up that body with sound, so it's hard to say; it just might make the guitar better-suited for blues-type players who need bending to be a bit more plausible.
