Greetings from Chicago! My 3 sons gifted this gem of a guitar for my 60th birthday. Couldn’t be happier with the playability and quality of sound. Think you nailed the pros - which definitely outweigh the cons (who gives a crap if someone in the audience thinks the guitar is rubbish). I will be giving my Taylor a break in 2023 as I get to know my new baby. Thank you for spreading the gospel of the fabulous Fender #affordasonic Well done! 😎🎸
I’m waiting for the Squier classic vibe acoustasonic. 😉
You and me both
Just ordered my Affordasonic and watching the video…I feel good! 😂. Thanks for the great vid! Always enjoy your thoughts and humour!
IYV on reverb.
@@keithhampton9700 thanks for the heads up
@@keithhampton9700 bought one!
I'm saving up to get one of these right now. Thank you for such a deep look into all the modes and feel of the guitar.
Such a great detailed review of the "Affordasonic"! Exactly the level of review I was looking for. I think, based on your thoroughness I am going to jump in and get one.
I wish all gear reviews were as detailed, informative and obviously unbiased as your Affordasonic review. Thanks for helping me decide whether this could be something for me or not!
Really enjoyed your presentation on the affordasonic, detailed and articulate. Well done
Outstanding review of all the features on this new model. Great presentation !
I'm thinking about getting myself an Affordasonic so I am now in the research stage.
This is one of the Best reviews I have seen... great work and thank you!!!
I got my acoustisonic player telecaster yesterday and after a couple of hours of playing I have to agree the rounding off at the top of the body is sooo comfortable.
Your video helped me pull the trigger on getting one of these. I'm super excited to play around with it on a looper.
Thanks for the detailed review. I tried one at Guitar Center but was on the fence. Need to research more and this video is helpful
Well done with this review of the Affordasonic. I took a leap of faith and ordered one before I watched the video. After watching I feel so much better about my purchase.
Another excellent review! Very much enjoy your channel keep going!
You are making me want one of the Affordasonic guitars! That black one looks stellar. Nice review, Thanks!
Excellent review of the Affordasonic! I have one, and watched this video both before and after I bought and played it. On my first viewing, it helped educate me on the various sounds that came out of the guitar. On the second viewing, I definitely agreed with most of your assessments on the playability and sounds of the guitar. I have been playing guitar for 55+ years, mostly electric (Les Pauls and Strats), and I love the Affordasonic, and find it very useful when performing live in a duo format. The guitar feels great, and is very playable for me, especially the neck. As a mostly electric lead player, to me this guitar sounds like an acoustic, and plays like an electric. Thanks for your terrific review!
This is the best review video on this model i have seen and i've seen everything that i could find.
Affordasonic! Just ordered one. Can't wait to play it. Thanks for your wonderful review...I am now a subscriber!
Thanks for the great review on the Telecaster Player Affordasonic. I've learned a few things from
your review, which I appreciate. I own a Telecaster Affordasonic ( made in Mexico) that I am now
playing. Thank You for the great video.
Great review! Thanks for sharing. I almost bought the American, but you pointing out the Player having a 9V battery convinced me to get it.
I'm an honorary , card carrying , end of video member of the affordasonic club. Got mine yesterday Americana is my flavor. Thanks for the extended video of this incredible instrument. Alot of R & D went into this guitar. I'm going to enjoy learning the many voicings I can create . Have fun busking with yours.
Just purchased this exact guitar 2 weeks ago. Been playing for 45 years, mostly acoustic and I can honestly say this is my all time favorite. I haven't picked up my dreadnaught since I open this one up. This is perfect for playing in full mix. Mine came in excellent condition. No sharp frets. Just had the next adjusted for lower action. These sound best plugged straight into a PA System as they already have modeling built in. If you plug into an amp you will be disappointed. I plug mine straight into a LR Baggs Para DI and into the FOH. Sounds great!
I just picked up one of these on reverb for $500 in a sale - and I'm incredibly happy with the price point, and am excited to play it. I'd been shopping for acoustic/electrics for a while and at $500 I don't think it can be beaten. I'm stoked, it'll be perfect to help teach my girlfriend how to play (she's been asking for a month or so).
Same! That Reverb deal is about what I think they're worth, so I had to jump on it as well.
What a great review! There are not many I watch til the end but the affordasonic is one of my interests at this point. I am a soloist . Small parties and a few bar gigs here and there. I think this would be a great addition to my guitarsenal as you put it so well. Thank you again for the great review. Maybe one day my dreaming will turn into a reality. Aloha bro! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Afordosonic. I really enjoyed this video. The cube and this guitar come across really well Andy. Well done
Amazing musically review! Love this video!
Great review thanks. Under £900 now which is very tempting for me. I had a little play in GuitarGuitar a year or so back and loved the light weight, comfort and playability.
Affordasonic! Best video review on this guitar out there! Still trying to decide if I need one...
A great review and it helped me in my decision to buy one. A friend of mine has recently purchased the exact same guitar and she is really impressed. Everything you said made sense and also filled in the gaps in my knowledge. I also wanted a guitar that I could use without amplification and this ticked the boxes as I have yet to find a travel guitar to fill that void. A big thank you and I have subscribed to your channel 👍
Glad I could help!
Form and function blended together in this affordasonic. Great!
Just picked up the player Tele and have played it on stage with no complaints. I’ve owned the US jazzmaster since it released. The MIM is just as nice. Fret work is clean, zero QC issues at all. As far as the rosewood vs ebony on the fretboard and saddle, they’re both really nice. I did use the 3rd position (Body sensor) on the USA a lot but even without that feature the player has great tones available. I’m a live looping performer so the ability to switch between acoustic and electric tones is great and its such a smooth playing instrument. The price difference is not reflected in the build quality at all. I also play on my church worship team and the acoustasonic sounds great in that context as well.
Great review! Watched it before making my purchase and it helped with the decision to buy another USA or try the player. The players a great instrument.
thanks for this. it’s the review i’ve been looking for. 🤙
You’re welcome Mark
Best review of the affordasonic on the net! Congrats 👏👏👏
Great review. Entertaining and full of information. I have bought an identical guitar today. Love the term affordasonic
Solid review buddy for this awesome Affordasonic!
Thankyou mate
Finally, a video on this Affordasonic that shows how the mechanics of it work.
Great video and very informative. I have one coming in today Merry Christmas to me! Actually I did alot of research before buying it.
thanks for sharing your review of the affordasonic have played one gonna get one great review
A truly excellent review Andy ,Fender should be thrilled on your detailed cover of this interesting guitar , however i'm still on the sidelines , as an acoustic player i still need convincing , however its versatility is very tempting as i am a frontman in a band covering many styles
I've watched three videos reviewing this guitar and this is the best one.
Enjoyed your video production quality and appreciate the candid and credible review. Points all around. Looking forward to an #affordasonic being air-dropped to me here on the desert island I’ve been stuck on since Covid hit. In about a week. I think I’m going to really enjoy the hell out of it.
Hello hello! Very nice review. I just ordered one in butterscotch. The price is going down right now too.
You really hit on a lot of good points. I played the American Acoustasonic for awhile and loved it but I just couldn’t afford it. But I did order this one. I actually like the electric sounds. It isn’t the same as a real Tele but it has it’s own voice. The thing that sold me is that I can get an acoustic sound on a guitar that is easier on my arthritic hands. After all these years I need something easier to play and this fits the bill. Also I like playing quietly while watching TV and my Martin is just too annoying for my wife.
Affordasonic: excellent review. I've been considering a hybrid for my gigs. This one might be a contender!
Thanks for introducing me to the Nembrini Acoustic Voice Guitar Preamp! It sounds great paired up with the Acoustisonic. I'll definitely use them together for some of my "live in studio" recordings. It's no substitute to the harmonics and overtones of mic'ing my Taylor, but it's not too shabby for several uses!
hi Jeff, That is great news. The plugin is superb. Never a replacement for a solo guitar track but definitely better than a DI'd acoustic.
The best review of the acoustia Sonic I have seen to date and believe me I have watched many! I like your catchphrase afford-a-Sonic, and I particularly like your observation about the nine volt compared to USB, of gig a lot over my 68 years I couldn't agree more why would you go on stage to do three or four hours show with something that might not be fully charged and up to the job!!
Great work great presentation thank you for sharing!!
Great review ! Thank you
Great review! My #affordasonic will arrive tomorrow. I'm looking forward to getting to know it personally, and your review has helped me feel positive about my purchase. Cheers!
Wonderful review, Andy. I could elaborate why if you'd like, but I appreciate your observations and effort into making this video. Thanks and love from Duluth, Minnesota
Thank you Patrick. That means a lot to me
Actually… I’d love for you to elaborate
Loads to love about this video and the guitar itself. I hope one day to be able to Affordasonic myself. 🙂
Thank you for playing it "unplugged" for us. A lot of reviewers neglect to do that with these. I know it's not really the intention of these guitars, but it's a feature I am looking for.
Thank you, just ordered one. It arrives tomorrow. Woohoo!
AFORDOSONIC😃 !
Great video, thanks for all the details and lovely playing too.
You’ve convinced me! I’m going to get one, my acoustic guitars are too expensive to play live with, the Fender Telecaster AFORDOSONIC will do the job and not worry about ruining my acoustic guitars playing live. Many thanks, I’m a ‘convert’ to the MIM AFORDOSONIC ! Brilliant thank you 👍🏻
Great review. Been waiting for a thorough review. My preference is the 3B from the Acoustasonic, actually. I do have a problem with the looks. But, this may be the hybrid I purchase. Thanks again!
excellent review! well smart! very informative. thanks to this video I now have a better understanding of the 3-way selections. the explanation of the piezo pick-up position has re affirmed my thoughts that it is the best selection on the guitar. And also I couldn't agree more about this guitar being an excellent choice for those who loop. This guitar used in solo gig will help augment your sound and expand your set list. Will go back to my local store and play this guitar again (equipped with more knowledge). I'm looking to get one of these for sure now! Thanks TheGuitarGeek! #affordasonic
Excellent review, thanks. I've just bought one!! I bought the white one from Andertons as they have discounted it a lot - I quite like the colour - something unusual for an unusual guitar. I agree with you on looping, putting it through an amp, and the quality of the case. #affordasonic
Thank you. Just bought this. Not delivered yet. Just did homework and came up with this. And you just made me feel better about my purchase. $1800 Australia. Thanks mate.
Thank you for the "Affodasonic" review ! I am very interested in this guitar now. I had a Fender acoustic/electric "Santa Rosa" that I bought in the '80's (it was stolen about 15 years ago) and I have been looking for a nice replacement. I think I found it.
I played one of these for the first time this week, and I must say I can't stop thinking about how damn cool it was. This is also my fave review of this model I have seen over the last few days. Thanks so very much. #AFFORDASONIC
Thanks Lewis. I had a really fun time with it too.
Excellent and detailed review
I'm going to try out a Affordasonic this weekend, i'm bringing my Line 6 Firehawk with me just to find out what it does with my rig. so excited!!
Great demo and review. Pretty obvious that it should be wired with separate outputs for acoustic and electric. When I build one I will use 2 pups, vol & tone - plus separate acoustic output to go to acoustic pedal and on to PA system. No silly internal electronics for me.
Fab video and review. #Affordasonic. Am now convinced this is going to be my next guitar
Watched to end, great review of afford - sonic
Just the review I was looking for regarding the "Affordasonic", covering all aspects of this guitar, Thank you...........
Hey Cameron! You are welcome.
nice review and guitar
Great review. The simplicity, 9v battery and lower price of this model is tempting me. I think the reduced sound settings would make it easier to dial in preferred sounds, particularly with a looper, within a live situation. This could just be me- I have enough difficulty deciding what sound settings I want on my Stratocaster! For home recordings, pub jams and church worship I can see this being a hit at the price point
Great review of the #affordasonic ! Something I’ve been thinking about that no else has mentioned is what the play it through, especially if using the acoustic and electric sounds. I’m pleased that you recommended the Cube over a tube - ‘cause that’s what I would use, either Cube or Roland Acoustic amp. Also think this is better value; I mean with the US version, who needs all those modelled acoustic sounds - but a couple is OK. Cheers!
Your video just is the best I’ve seen on the launch of this new Fender. I’m a new player and this guitar appeals to me. Thanks for outlining the features, pro-cons in a straight forward manner. I like that you played through on a couple of amps and not just on Fender’s. I’d love to see a review of the Boss Cube too (hint, hint). If I can find a place to play one of these, I’ll probably be dropping some cash to get one. Thanks!! 🙂 #affordasonic for the win!
Thanks for the very enlightening review...it made me focus to buy that...nice review
Glad I could help
What a great video! Thank you so much for being so helpful. This video definitely convinced me to buy this guitar. On it's way as I write 😂!
Great review on the affordasonic.
Great review! Gonna get an affordasonic!
GREAT review! I have the 2x8 Streetcube and I'm curious how it will sound through my acoustic amp from Fishman. Mine will be here in the morning. Affordasonic!
Fantastic review covering the features as well as the plusses and minuses! Kudos to Fender for making the Affordasonic 😉
Cheers Dale!
Thanks for the great review of the Affordasonic. I was curious what you meant about Fender saying NOT to do a setup. I was hoping to try one of these. My local Guitar Center has two of the American Versions, and both had high action and really needed an adjustment. Plus, the strings were old and in need of a change as probably 100+ people have tried it in the store. I left disappointed that I couldn't get a fair try of this instrument. If I got one with the action too high, I would definitely make an adjustment. Can't believe Fender says not to do this.
Absolutely great and comprehensive review. Afordasonic
nice vid! keep up the good work.
was that your version of "black water" by doobs? nice
Very enjoyable. Thank you.👍
Thanks for this unbiased review. I did check one out at the local guitar shop. I tried the Afordisonic, the American version and also the Jazzmaster . I liked the tele. much better and more comfortable. I have to admit I have a soft spot for telecasters I also totally agree that the beveled cut was awesome. I like the American version better. I found the 5 position version more versatile. I would like the nine volt but l don,t do any live gigs anymore. So not worried about that. If or when the battery goes I,ll take it to the shop. If I,m still around. So it is just something to play and practice around the house and probably some home videos. I will consider a loop and maybe a solid state amp.
Had been pestered by a friend that was 'going pandemic' to sell him my Godin A6 Ultra Koa for months, so called him and said come and get it, ran out and bought this exact same 'Affordasonic'... Love it, nice and light compared to the Godin and while the A6 was a joy to play, was overly busy with sliders and teeny knobs. Great for a solo gig player I suppose but this Fender is just perfect and simple for me (and my playing level). Thanks for the review.
Cool demo!
I bought a two year old Fender Acoustasonic Player Tele at the weekend so I'm still feeling my way around it's possibilities. It's in an as-new condition, with the soft case and cost me £650 (about $800)! Affordasonic and some! Great video by the way, which has helped me to understand the way this guitar thinks! Can I say that? Sure!
Affordas! indeed and greetings from Adelaide AUSTralia. I know I'm a year overdue but, nevertheless, I just wanted to acknowledge your so very intelligent, witty and eloquently balanced review.
I bought an American model the instant one became available in 2019 and have loved it from day1. I've always played it through the "Normal" channel on my deluxe reverb. I put D'Addario 10's on it to give a bit more of a tele feel. I believe you are based in Austria (lucky you) - may I ask where? Thanks again and all the best with your channel.
Thanks mate! Amazing review on the #AFFORDASONIC. Was on the fence about the American version but hadnt found a review that looked at the player in the amount of detail I needed and used/discussed a simple live pa or busking setup. Also, hearing your percussive stuff on the player was super helpful, thanks so much for including that! Feeling pretty confident that I'd get a ton of value and fun out of adding one of these to my live gigging setup. Hopefully help inspire some original music as well. Keep doing your thing 🤘 🙏
Excellent rewiew!
Thank you kindly!
Affordasonic, yes. Bought this as an option for a hummingbirdish sound due to shoulder problems.Not disappointed Love this guitar
Aloha from Hawaii! I enjoyed your video very much and learned a thing or two that the other half dozen videos that I watched on the Acoustasonic did not mention or demonstrate. I'm considering purchasing an Acoustasonic American Telecaster despite the lower price of the Player as I also liked the "other acoustic models" offered by the American model . My only wish is that there was an option to use an external battery instead of the internal one and can only hope that it does not give me problems or that it is reliable. Thanks again for all your work on this vid and I did watch all the way to the end! #Affordasonic 🙂
FANTASTIC review!!!!❤ i just purchased one (shadow burst). Thank you and more power!!! #affordasonic
Yeah!
Howdy🖐🏼😃; I picked up one of these about a month ago as a last minute replacement for my 2013 Martin HD28 (it was starting to rain and tho it was an indoor gig, I didn't really want to get it out in the moisture...) Took my new Telecoustic and my little Fishman Loudbox Mini to the gig; no time to test it out at the store (walked into the store, saw it on the wall, bought it and walked out), so I was depending on Fender's rep as a quality instrument. Long story short, it played and sounded like a million bucks at the gig, got compliments from the pickers in the room, and that was even before I realized that I'd bought an MIM 'Player'. Don't know what could be functionally different between it and a US model, so I consider it a pretty economical purchase (not to mention that it paid for itself at the gig!) I'll give it a thumbs-up👍
This makes me so happy. thank you
Great video.
Good review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Definitely the best review of the #affordasonic I've seen. And you've convinced me to go down the shops and try one. Many thanks!
Great review! I agree with most of what you said. I've had my "affordasonic" for almost three weeks now and I really like it! ...but I have a warning: it eats batteries like there's no tomorrow. I suggest never leaving the battery in it when it's not being played through an amp/PA. I thought, like my other guitars which use 9-volt batteries, that all I needed to do is unplug the cord and the battery wouldn't drain, but it seems like it sucks the life out of the battery even when it's unplugged.
Does the battery last a few gigs?
@@livemusicseychelles6485 I stream gigs that last one hour and gigs that last three hours. If I take the battery out between each, I can get three sessions maybe four short sessions out of it.
I always unplug the patch cord when not playing the guitar, yet It seems like the battery drains anyway when left in. So I take it out. I'm going to try rechargeables.
Brilliant and very informative. I bought one and love it. B
Very good information video. Have been thinking about purchasing an American one so the point you made on the battery is probably why I won't be purchasing one brand new. Will wait until someone else gets tired of the affordasonic and purchase at a lower price... $700+ maybe.
Sounds great - I need one of these
#affordasonic
I had the American version, had to sell it…then immediately regretted selling it. SO glad they came out with this version! Guitar companies think way too much of their American versions.
Thanks for the in-depth review, made it easy to make the decision to buy one.
Get mine later today! Excited to play. Nice video #affordasonic 🤪
How cool is that! You rock.
Nice overview. As someone that plays more electric guitar than acoustic guitar, I found the acoustic sounds acceptable and useable, but it's the electric sounds that would get me to buy this guitar It's not that I found the electric sounds exceptional, it's more that they worked well with the acoustic sounds so that switch from one to the other wasn't jarring or weird. You may have not liked the sound of the electric pickup, but I did like it even through the Boss Cube Street II amp (BTW I'm looking forward to your review of this amp). I especially liked the 2B sound (is that a blend of the piezo and pickup or just the piezo going through some kind of crunch circuit?) It would have been nice if they added a way to blend the electric pickup and the more acoustic sounds or split the sounds of the electric & acoustic sounds, but maybe that would have added to the cost.
The USA made Acoustasonic held little interest for me, because of the price and overkill on acoustic sound options (they all sounded pretty much the same to me). The price on this MIM model is still a little high for me, but more accessible and gives me something to add to my want list. I think it's a very cool looking guitiar.
Thanks for a great review.
