Nick Farside thanks a bunch ! And thank you for watching!

You’d have to sell a kidney to pay for it!

I would probably agree after listening again. Some Elixir acoustics on there and I think you hit the mark...we actually just did that with another one of theses and wow, much better!

I hear you. Im almost 40, and I just started playing again this year. I played in high school, too, but never practiced much and really just learned the songs. I wish I'd practiced then and at least played some over the years to keep it up. I got a great instructor now, practice an hour or more per day, and I'd say im probably better now than I was back then. I was in hospital for 7 months last year for surgery, and all i did was watch guitar videos on youtube. The first thing I did when I was able to drive was go and buy a new guitar. I quickly realized I'd be starting over again, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Keep it up!

How would you say the action compares to a Strat is it as low and playable before you made the adjustment and how is it after after the adjustments?

You do realize Fender has a special neck adjustment for the action behind the neck joint, right?

Thanks a bunch and best of luck out there:) Thanks for watching as well!

Nigel thank you for the comment. And it is a completely different bird with the electrics on. I would recommend the Elixir 11's optiwebs as well. They play great and re not too slinky on the instrument. Regardless of what you use, it is really fun to see how different she plays. It becomes much more "Telecaster-ish" with the electric on. Thank you again and best to you!

Im dwelling on acoustic .10s vs electric .11s 😅

there's a little hole in the neck joint plate to change the angle of the neck. There's videos about it, for most Fenders.

I know this is 2 years ago, but I had intonation issues with mine because the G was plain, back to acoustic strings for me..

Agreed and thank you for watching! We found the acoustic Elixirs were the perfect fit on these. The fender strings had to come off pretty quick:) Thanks again for the nice words and have a super day!

I think it's one of those instruments that you really do have to play to appreciate. A lot of people hate on it for being gimmicky or too expensive. I got one on sale last year and I absolutely love it. The versatility is off the charts. it's lightweight, easy to play, and sounds great. I think on the Internet people just have to always hate on something. Interestingly enough I saw a picture of Kirk Hammett with two custom Acoustasonic Jazzmasters..

Neck dive w thinner fabric straps. Good with leather wider straps.

@@davidmajercin9941 Thanks for the reply. I ended up getting the strat and it is well balanced. I have been using GHS silk n steel strings (hollow core) and have been pleased with the sound and the feel of the guitar.

Played all 3 models and neck dive is big problem on the Jazzmaster Acoustisonic... much less with strat, and virtually no dive with Tele.

Thanks for the comment and I would agree after listening to them both.

FYI here are DR Zebra strings, no longer available: www.drstrings.com/acoustic-electric-zebra

After scouring the planet for any remaining Zebra strings, I have found only one other set that suggests that it would work well with a hybrid guitar - the GHS "White Bronze" string, which in its list of attributes says, "Utilizes an Alloy 52 cover wrap, ideal for acoustic/electric guitars", by which I presume they mean hybrid guitars and not merely acoustic guitars having a piezo. Note that Alloy 52 is a 50/50 mix of nickel and steel. I've ordered some of these but haven't tried them yet and so cannot vouch for them. It seems very odd to me that among all the people I've seen involved with hybrid guitars - both customers and guitar makers - nobody seems to be aware of either the Zebra strings or the "White Bronze" strings, and instead they spend their time "fretting" over whether to use acoustic vs. electric strings. Stranger still is the fact that hybrid guitar makers don't equip their guitars with OEM strings that would most likely dramatically improve their sales of hybrid guitars.

I play worship where i am the rhythm and the lead in the same song. This guitar is perfect for me.

Haven’t tried the zebras yet but I currently use DR Red Devils 11’s acoustic and have always on my hybrid guitars,,,best sound for me

Sí, las cuerdas del guardabarros realmente no duran mucho y necesitan cambiarse. Dejamos nuestro en jsut para las demos y fortunatley los ha cambiado todos ahora. Gracias por mirar y gracias por el comentario!

How do you find that compares sound wise? Is it like a compromise between the 2 types? Interested in your opinion 👍

@@cieranbrown I liked the tone of the 11 slight better. But worth the compromise to be able to bend a little bit.

@@BGP_yt do they fall somewhere between an acoustic and electric tone wise? And I’m guessing they’re more flexible and playable? Cheers

@@cieranbrown Only when you blend the Tones. I’d say it’s more of a compromise for electronic since on most electrics you have more than one pickup. It shines much moreso as an acoustic. Great variety and sounds. I also like the sound unplugged although it’s not loud. It’s got a great feel because it’s so light. The neck finish feels great.

You can play it unplugged but she really shines when you plug her in and get the full range of sounds!

@@CasinoGuitars It is my understanding that there is a problem with using foot pedals with it. Also, what kind of amp would you recommend?

@@billyakin3301 Hello Billy, certain pedals can be tricky as it is essentially a "Hollowbody" so there can be feedback issues. The best amp combo is a proper acoustic amp (we used the Fender SFX) AB'd with a good electric guitar amp (I love the Fender. Reverb).

Agreed and thanks for your thoughts!

that's usually what happens when you put electric strings on an acoustic guitar. they sounded much less so than on an average acoustic tho.

Not everyone wants to lug around multiple guitars to a open mic or a coffee house gig. This is a good fit for a lot of those guys and gals.
