I checked one out when they first came out and were super hyped. Ig took me 10 seconds to figure out they were crap.

Kinda like cars… don’t buy the first versions.

Thank you. Was about to buy one.

I have seen at least two for sale with pickups sucken in

Good review. I don't even like the look of them, their solid body electrics are the only thing they make that are worth anything. Their acoustic line is the absolute last product I'll look at in a store and that includes used that are way out of warranty. Sorry about your luck but for a $2,000 price tag there are a LOT of decent guitars out there, but you know that now.

I have a love/hate thing with mine. Easy to play, sounds okay, but I wind up picking up my acoustic at gigs.

Wow...2year warranty..alot of the cheaper acoustic guitars will do this..even with bracing..but it takes 10plus years..2.5 yrs is absurd..it amazes me what this generation puts up with when it comes to music equipment,cars,ect..corporations take over,put everyone out of biz and sell you crap.

When I played one at Guitar Center i thought it was cool although I wasn’t overly impressed with the sounds. It also felt very fragile like if you played it hard something would break. I ended up buying a Micheal Kelly Hybrid Special instead for like 1/3 the price and love it. Also, I’ll second on the Godin A6, great guitar, Godin really builds quality instruments.

Meanwhile all these TH-cam personalities claimed it was the greatest guitar ever designed. When they started getting called out they all released apology videos the same day pretending to cry 😂

I've never played a Fender acoustic that was worth the money.

Should have bought it Certified Pre-owned ;)

I bought the Mexican Jazz master version and I really like it. My buddy bought the American Model and has had problems. The two are distinctly different.

Thank you for the PSA. I love guitars but I'd rather have true utility than a name on a headstock. You Sir have saved me a bundle.

The first picture you show , looks like the Bridge is coming "Unglued" from the body. Not that the Top is breaking loose. Is there Paint or Finish Under the bridge ? If so that's why the Big is coming loose. You can not have ANY ! Not even a tiny amount. And it need 100% Titebound Original coverage. Not the 3. As you may have to remove it someday. And No "HIDE" Glue it stands for Holds Initially Delaminates Eventually.

I have not had any problems with mine . I use it all the time

Good video, thanks for sharing. I'm a fan of Fender own several Fender products, but it's interesting how I'm starting to see a lot of Acoustisonics show up in the used gear section of guitar stores lately.

That sucks. I think I got lucky with mine, it was from the first run of acoustasonics and I've never had these issues. Only issue I have with it is the high E loves to fall out of the nut slot. For me it does what I need, but that's just my experience so far about 4/5yrs later. I'm sure I've jinxed it now though😄 Plenty of other companies do not give a shit about you after the warranty is gone too. The attitude is, too bad these things can happen go to a luthier. While yeah I agree general maintenance is expected, but I have experienced some quality issues so bad the guitar is actually unplayable (neck in constant back bow, graphite in neck instead of truss rod, so you can't readjust it). Anyway it's reasonable when you get burnt not to want to give these companies any future business.

Look I love it keep trashing them because I'd like to buy a few more I have a mexican-made telly so it uses a 9-volt battery not a problem Best sounding acoustic electric sound no feedback and I have been just totally enamored by this guitar so you guys can grouse all you want I'll be picking them up when they go down low

Thanks for the warning ! Never liked the look of these guitars, now I definitely don't like them. Shame on Fender.

Fender warranties and quality is a joke regardless of model, I have 1st hand experience

Very interesting video, thank you for sharing. I was interested in one of the US all mahogany versions of the Acoustasonic Tele and wonder if these might be a little stronger structurally? There would still be the battery issue though! I’ll probably go for a traditional acoustic now, but don’t like the ‘bulk’ of them, which is what really appealed about the Acoustasonic. Thanks again for sharing and sorry you (and others) have had a bad experience.

I just picked one up today.......rechargeable battery puts me off. This video is the nail in the coffin...it will go back next week...I’m sticking to a proper acoustic new strings and minor adjustments here & there is all you need for years of playing enjoyment.

I stopped buying new Fender amps, & the last guitar was purchased in 2008. However, I will still buy vintage fender amps & guitars. I will say the stuff coming out of the Ensenada plant are pretty damn good.

just re-adjusted, neck, new strings, new bridge pins, plays and sounds like a dream, now has a super low action without fretbuz, and I have the tele player😀🫵🏻

Thanks man! I was considering one but was a bit mentally reserved about the fixed built in battery as we all know they have limited lifetime. Plus there are reports about occasional issues with QC - loose pickups and so. You helped me with my decision. Thanks!

Sounds great!

Seems like a really major design flaw. Any good guitar should be able to last at least 30 years, if not a lifetime (that also depends on how well the owner takes care of it). I guess you don't really know what the company is like until you find yourself in a situation like that, but I'm pretty sure yamaha and many other companies have a limited life time warranty that would cover flaws in the manufacturing.

Thanks for this video - appreciate the cautionary on this.

wow that is awesome!

Rry a Godin A6 Ultra

Class action suit?

Awesome job!!

That thing is way over priced anyway! And for them to go and do that! I'm right there with ya! They are crooked!

Mine has done exactly the same thing and has a nasty 6 inch long crack in the top. It’s still perfectly playable but it’s annoying as hell! I have the Mexican Tele model.

Great cover! Loved it.

Nice version. Sounds great. I covered this one e as well. You sound great on this one.

Sounds great.

Sound fine but way way over priced.

Their business practice and poor QC are what got them into trouble in the 1970's. You think they would have learned their lesson from that.

Ur thumbs 👍 button is not working. Put thumbs up and it didn't count it.

Ibanez makes great guitars I can not disagree, love Ibanez

Played a few Fenders, but I prefer Ibanez.

Would love to hear more from you.

Wow Danny that is amazing all you can do with the looper and the layers. Great job!

Sound?

Love it ❤

I love this ❤

nice
