    The 6th thing you need to know: it's terribly overpriced at $1999.99 retail. Would rather spend a $1000 on an electric and another $1000 on an acoustic or probably more like $500 on each and get something that sounds as good or better than the acoustasonic.

      I agree with you statement. I think it sounds great. But my opinion is that the acoustasonic is designed to get acoustic tones but keeping the feel of an electric. But my BOSS AC-3 does a great job achieving this. I think it's great that you can use it to produce drum like beats by tapping the body. So I think it would be great for street musicians with a loop pedal. But my opinion is you could buy a good telecaster for less than 1000, BOSS AC3 for 100 and a good loop pedal and save alot of money. But different strokes for different folks.

    Another thing that I think that you should note about the Fender Acoustosonic Stratocaster is that It has some of the same features as Barry Gibb’s guild s4ce. It’s got the mahogany neck, the rosewood fingerboard and even Fishman Under-Saddle Transducer pickup. I was taking a look at the specs of this Fender guitar and the specs on the Guild S4BG (Barry Gibb guitar) and to be fair some of the specs are actually quite similar.

    The Acoustasonic’s have been out for a while now. A couple of things to observe; no, you cannot buy one for under $700 and yes, they have remained really popular. I acquired my A-Jazzmaster for one reason only, I wanted an instrument that would give me really nice acoustic tones without playing an actual acoustic instrument (which I never liked, with few exceptions). Mine does that in spades.

    Has that same faux acoustic sound that is a real drag. The electric sounds are ok, though. The price (2000$) is pretty steep, IMO. Buy a nice acoustic AND a nice electric for that kind of bread and call it a day. To each their own.

    A stereo switcher is mentioned at one point to separate the “electric”and “acoustic” output paths to different amps/sources. Is this a pedal or a TRS to double mono cable like I would use with a Parker Fly? Is the output jack on the Acoustasonic stereo/mono, or do you need a pedal switcher like the Little Lehle ll looper/switcher.

    • @michaelinglis8516
      @michaelinglis8516 3 роки тому

      @@Mhurlohcke I'm fully aware what he liked and didn't like. My point was that for unplugged he wanted to use effects on "his" acoustic (the martin D18e with DeArmond pups) and it was a compromise with MTV. If the tele version or jazzmaster version of the acoustasonics was out he likely would have used one at least on The Man Who Sold The World. We have a lot of great music that might not be the same if these were around. Instruments are great at what they are made for but when you start trying to get multiple sounds from one instrument you start compromising the integrity of each of the sounds. I build electric guitars and guitar pedals. And while I love my girls I wired for PARTIAL splits I also know that they shine and sound best as full humbuckers. Now full splits on the other hand are useless and theres a reason people dont like coil splits. For example when PRS decided to design humbuckers that sound good split you ended up with a humbucker that isnt ideal and a split coil sound that isnt ideal. Granted neither are bad on any way. Again, I'm just saying it's best to use a hammer to drive a nail instead of using a large heavy screwdriver.

    Looks great! I've enjoyed seeing the first rounds of the Acoustasonic series -- very interesting designs, the sounds seem great, etc. -- and I already thought they'd be pretty fun to play and own. This one, though, catches my eye much stronger. For whatever reason (and, yes, of course I know all these things are subjective), it just looks better. Love the headstock, for example, and the JM shape just looks super cool in this configuration. Will definitely look into one of these!
