Fender continue their foray in to the world of acoustic / electrics with their third iteration of the hit Acoustasonic series - introducing the Acoustasonic Jazzmaster! This one could be our favourite yet…
Incorporating the classic curves and comfortability of their Jazzmaster design, this latest Acoustasonic model carries across all of the impressive tech and functionality of their existing models, while taking the opportunity to make some tonal revisions, including a newly designed, proprietary Shawbucker pickup and tweaked voicings for the Fishman acoustic models. The accessible, traditionally-electric neck profile remains, and makes this third Acoustasonic guitar the perfect studio or live tool, for the dedicated electric player who needs to dabble with some quality acoustic tones, while holding on to that familiar Fender feeling.
In this first impressions video, Jack walks through some of the unique features of this new model, including his thoughts on what makes the Acoustasonic platform so usable, flexible and desirable.
We hope you enjoy, and if you do, please remember to leave a like down below, comment below with your thoughts on the Acoustasonic series from Fender, and be sure to click the link below to our website, if you’d like to find out more information and place your pre-order.

One thing I don't get about all the haters of this is that I believe they think it should sound like a acoustic guitar in front of a very nice microphone. Instead, this is supposed to sound like an acoustic guitar that is plugged in. At best, many amplification systems often sound so-so. This, however, to my ears, sounds like a very nicely balanced and eq'd pickup from an acoustic. Not perfect, but there are so many applications in which this would sound nice. Remember when Ovations first came out? They sounded thin and quacky but everyone rushed out to perform and record with them. Don't rush to judgment.

I really like this conceptually speaking. As I start to downsize my collection I think it could fill quite a few gaps left by the sell off. My only hesitation is how easy it will be to repair in the event something fizzled out electronically? Almost forgot… Jack always kills it.

If you’ve got GAS, go for it, but there are acoustic guitar modeling pedals that do the job just as well. I have a Valeton 200 and it has plenty of acoustic emulators: dreadnaught, parlor, humming bird, classical, etc. sounds excellent, and at $184 it kicks ass. And when I switch out of acoustic MODE my PRS DGT is already in my hands and ripping it up.

Fender have been developing this series for decades now but pick up technology has advanced in leaps and bounds . I first played an acoustic tele in early 2000 . I remember I had a chance to buy one..when I went back the next day it was sold. I like the jazz body more for this format for sure tho ...

@kitoyobeni1 3 жыл бұрын

For my purposes, I think I would prefer a piezo bridge on a true electric guitar with dual outputs (or a stereo cable to split at the pedal board) and a floor unit to handle the acoustic model processing and switching. I don't know that I would need 8 different acoustic models switchable on my guitar and only variations of gain on one electric model. Maybe next year's iteration offers two electric pickups (tappable bridge humbucker and neck single) and has separate switching for acoustic and electric tones? This single output system leaves you stuck with less favorable tone with either the acoustic or electric tones depending on your choice (acoustic amp, electric amp, or direct).

@@emilxert yeah good point, I expect the boffins have worked out you can sell more of them if you only release one model each year. I've not played one of these and I dont think they sound great from the demos (albeit listening through my phone which is possibly why to be fair), but a mate has the one they brought out a few years back, before the acoustasonic (they've done this idea already and renamed it!) and I've played that unplugged and you know what, even though it looks like a tarts handbag it felt really really great to sit and play on the sofa and I did not want to put it down!

@charlesbolton8471 3 жыл бұрын

They are aimed at the same people who buy the Taylor T5. These are exactly the same price as the least expensive T5 model, and were designed by the same person. Perhaps one day Fender will make a less expensive version in Mexico, but considering that the T5 has been in production since 2005 and Taylor has never seen the need for a lower priced Mexican version I seriously doubt Fender will either.

@tonyjackson4501 2 жыл бұрын

Too many people miss the point with the Acoustasonic. It is designed for electric players who need to produce a convincing acoustic tone without the hassle of dealing with a true acoustic instrument. I own the exact guitar in this demo (same color, same everything). Playing live, the audience is convinced I am playing an acoustic and that’s all that matters. If I still did studio work the same would hold true. I play it with my electric tube amp through my pedalboard. Easy. It plays equally well through my Walrus ACS1 with no adjustments. Fender hit a home run and it’s a bargain for a working musician at its current price.

@charlesbolton8471 3 жыл бұрын

I happen to agree that these Acoustasonics aren’t very good at either though this one does sound slightly better than the Strat or Tele versions. However, the price is justified by the facts that they are made in the USA, R & D was a substantial cost, and they have outsold Fender’s original sales goals.
