My goal in life is to use all the wrong instruments, so with that in mind I would make this the center of a doom/drone project.
Stop with the beaten to death comparison videos you and a million others have done this same video TH-camrs are like programmed Robots doing the same videos and saying the same old tired ass BS
I'll do whatever I want. beep boop beep boop.
@@60CycleHumcast this is why you're a TH-camr and not in the Mainstream limelight TH-camrs suck you do what you want isn't going to change the fact the these types of videos are beaten to death and useless
@@thepatriot4355 why did you click on this video?
Ryan, That's a fantastic rendition of Jane Says! Love it. good work.
Ryan, Can I call you Ryan? I must say that your intro was the best demo of this guitar that I have seen so far. Great job.
Lol
I did go out and buy this guitar today; the MIM in butterscotch. Thanks for demoing this awesome guitar, Ryan!
CONGRATS! So any thoughts you can share after a couple weeks of playing on it?
Can the acoustic side be used without an amp unplugged while chilling on the couch?
If only there were a way to tide up the raid shadow legends brand with the Acoustasonic brand, some sort of collaboration. There would be no other content on the internet for a week.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN GRAPHICS LIKE IM SEEING ON THIS GUITAR
@@60CycleHumcast Looks like a cartoon/cardboard cutout to me.
The crunch sound is cool-when I was 15/16I used to intentionally run my standard acoustic-electric guitar through the distorted channel of my Fender tube amp , with wah, compression, delay, and reverb, because I played in an acoustic psychedelic rock trio. One of these would’ve been bloody handy in those days, with the Tele pickup, as I played lead.
25 years ago I ran into a guy playing for tips in a small Reno bar. He had a cheap acoustic a boss multi effects unit (also on the cheap) and a keyboard amp. Music is it in the fingers never made as much sense as it did watching the guy perform a solo show comprised of rock blues and R&B.
My favorite thing about the acoustasonic (and the highway series parlor and dreadnaught) guitars is the thin body. It’s as thick as an electric guitar instead of a deep body acoustic which is just hard to play on stage. I also like the necks better, easier to play
Those cost as much as a decent motorcycle here in Brazil LMAO
I'd use it to be able to practice quieter at night so as not to wake my partner. But I think I'll wait for the Squier Bullet Acoustasonic
Classic Vibe Acoustasonic 😄
Get a nylon electric.
That was a great demo. I still need to wait for the Squier version before I'll try it, but I agree that I too want to try every guitar too.
Squier one would still be super expensive with todays prices
th-cam.com/video/piw20IA9z3I/w-d-xo.html
Acoustasonic is a high end product and I don't think they will make a squier version
@@GigaChadL337 a man can dream tho right?
@@zeronoshoten4300 yeah, it would be atleast 600-800 usd for sure.
I would use it more as an acoustic. I think Fender made a good choice doing this I know couple of people who liked the MIA but refused because of price.
Awesome intro, and awesome review. As a long-time subscriber, I still contend that your channel is wildly underrated and undersubscribed. Keep on keeping on.
I'm going to be very tempted by the inevitable jazzmaster players acoustasonic.
I think what this does is it makes the Acoustasonic more appealing. I think it's main market is people who gig with both an electric and acoustic and want to make doing so much easier. This means you don't have to run an A/B setup with different amps or an amp and PA or whatever. By lowering the price point, it makes it easier to justify.
I have wanted an Acoustasonic Tele since the day they came out..Even having never played one..I knew off the bat that just the body size was something I was more suited for as I have back issues. I was not likely to be able to afford the MIA as here in Australia they’re around or over $3000.
And then the MIM was released..And thought we’ll that’s a bit more affordable?
Still held out a little as it was still pricey and I hadn’t managed to get my hands on one to play. Then..My local store happens to get a MIM in the finish I was after..Not only did I high tail it to the store..Played it and loved it…I immediately put down the deposit and have set about selling off my 3 other acoustics and 1 electric to cover the cost!!
I’m now waiting anxiously for them to sell so I can bring her home! 😍🎸🤘🏻
You know, I don't understand why Aussies are always complaining about the prices of things over there compared to the US are so much higher. It's not true- you just aren't speaking the same language when it comes to "dollars". An Australian dollar is not the same as a US dollar. It's like us trying to compare our prices to UK pounds- only nobody ever does that because they are called "pounds" instead of "dollars", thats all.
Man, you gotta warn us before you Wonderwall!
I'm waiting for the Acoustisquiersonic.
Still waiting for a made in China Squier Acoustasonic series selling for
Ryan, I have an MIA Tele that I use for playing at church. 99% I use the acoustic settings, positions 3-5, switching between them depending on the song; we have an electric player so I tend to avoid positions 1 & 2. And I'm not too keen on the electric sounds on the guitar in general; don't know if it's because of the pedals I'm going through, strings (as you point out) or amp (we go DI at church. I like the variety of sounds and have received a lot of positive comments. The one setting not available on the MIM is position 3, the percussion setting, which I really like to get the enhance harmonics acoustically. I was adverse to the guitar when I first saw them -- thought they were a gimmick --, but one of our other guitarists bought it for me (he already had one) and have grown to love it for it's playability and sounds. Great demo by the way!
You have convinced me that this guitar does what you’re traditionally not supposed to do with it extremely well.
When the MIA version was first released it had everything that I needed for the solo act I was doing, but the price point was just too high. That's when I stumbled upon the 2010 Acoustasonic Tele which I think completely flew under the radar due to its poor reception on the market. I wish some of these comparison videos would relate back to that earliest concept of this guitar. It truly is phenomenal and does everything I need without all the bells and whistles of these most recent models. Apparently it was before it's time.
I will wait for the Squier version!!!!! Get it under £500 and I am in 🤑
This would be great for rhythm guitar in a cover band to easily switch between electric and acoustic
It's a pretty cool acoustic....dont get me wrong ...... still I'd settle for a Martin or Taylor
5:12 Errr! Necessary evil called marketing... tempered by competition trying to copy knowledge gained by personality created by the freedom of choice and the voices that promote Freewill.
Nope, some acoustic sounds no better than $200 Acoustic with piezo...could be useful but not for $1200! I think they look cheap too, especially the Tele model, which is all MIM right now.
Damn Ryan, That has to be one your best opening jams. Shot man
$1k??? still??? nah. I get the concept, and would love to have one--but imagine the acoustic you can buy for $1k. Martin, Taylor.....Fender??? nah.
It's actually $1200. After tax and shipping, I feel like that's enough money that you could get a better dedicated acoustic and dedicated electric for that amount. Especially if you purchase used? Then you could get a separate electric and acoustic that would blow this out of the water.
@@real_mrmime9617 Yeah, no. You can get decent playable guitars for that price range- but you aren't getting anything that's gonna hold it's value. Very few solid wood acoustics for less than 1000- and they are very plain jane at that. Plus, I think for a lot of people having versatility in a single guitar is a desirable option. Personally, I've come to realize that quality is far better than quantity, so I've really been upgrading my collection of guitars now. The cheaper ones will get the job done sometimes, but you come to appreciate the lack of hassle just having reliable guitars, and not so many of them that you're always doinking with their setups rather than playing them. Don't get me wrong though- I do have a couple of "cheaper" guitars that are just fantastic and I won't get rid of them ever. But for as many cheaper ones I've had- that is not the norm. The great thing about this guitar is it does a pretty solid job of covering a couple of bases- as I think the acoustic and electric sounds are both great.
I dig it. It's not 100% but very close to the MIA. I am getting one if I can get Sweetwatter to take payments (some instruments they won't).
id love to see like a next gen with software that would let you save the sounds you want to the different slots maybe even let you tweak the eq slightly
The difference betwixt the American and the Mexican guitars is 60 miles. I am not a poor man nor am I a rich man. I have a couple American Fenders and several Mexican Fenders . The American one are wonderful. And so are the Mexican ones.
yes, although not
I'd like to see Justin Johnson play one of those. I bet he can make it sound great on blues music
Call the back of the guitar where the battery goes a battery coffin 😉 because eventually they are dead just lying in the coffin
I”m from Brazil and i love your channel ! Plz! Make a video with acoustic x eletric strings!!
Good review. Probably the most in-depth so far. I ordered the same one and can’t wait for it to arrive. I play covers, mostly strumming, on an acoustic jumbo but want some more versatility in my sound. I’m not into pedals so this seemed like a great option. Thx 😊
I'm the same as you. Would you recommend this guitar for a similar player as yourself? Thank you
@@ferminharris3826 I have it now almost a year and it has become my guitar of choice. So yes, I definitely recommend
@@alexanderlvt Awesome! I mainly play acoustic and I had a Godin A6 ultra that I kinda was forced to sale but it was my favorite guitar ever. What amp do you pair it with? I don't really use amps or am a big fan of them
@@ferminharris3826 i have an LD6 mix. 4 channel all in one. Works great for home and smaller venues. With the extra speaker gives you 2x70 watts. Bose S1 sounds great too
Still not sold on these. I am leaning towards a Line6 Variax. I love Fender and am glad they are reaching out of the comfort zone but just don't think they got this one just right yet.
Variax is definitely the way to go. Same price as these and you get all these sounds and lots more.
The Variax is totally under-rated.
I had the chance to play a friends JTV59 Variax and was blown away by the posibilities but also the raw analog neck pick up was sweet, especially with brown style distortion
Wouldn't it still be cheaper to buy a budget acoustic and add a piezeo/pickup system?
Yep!
$1200 US tells me this is a premium instrument and, hells ya it sounds great. Sure, it's $800 less than the original, but it's still is an upper crust guitar. And I wish I could get it. Damn!
Man everybody like "Oh I'm so surprised how awesome the Mexican Fenders are". I've had a Mexican Telecaster since 1998 or so, it's a "Nashville Deluxe". Dudes always trying to buy the guitar off me. The guys they employ in Mexico know how to build a guitar. I mean with modern processes there is no excuse for ANYONE to make a shitty guitar nowadays. But the Mexican factory has always been really good. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Mexican version unless there was some major sound feature only offered on an American one. I'm nit a collector. I'm a player.
This is a great guitar for someone who plays on a worship team at their church.
Really feels like this could be nice paired with a pod go or other modeler so you can kick it over to the electric pickup and have an actual patch for that. Could be a cool, versatile church guitar or something in that context. Definitely like the price point better than the MIAs, I don't think pushing two grand is a good fit for something so weird and niche. Would've loved to see one for under $1000 but that probably isn't realistic with what everything costs anymore.
Yeah that would be smart, some patches for acoustic and others for electric.
@@60CycleHumcast That's already how I roll w/ my church setup so it would basically just mean not having to have an a/b switch and juggle instruments from song to song, especially since church electric guitar is suited to that tele pickup style tone. If these had dropped back when we were getting stimulus checks I almost definitely would've picked one up.
I don't know if you've ever tried this, but it's not hard to negotiate a 20% discount from a dealer on guitars like this- especially Fenders. That puts it at $960. Gee, I wonder how I know this?
White guy expresses shock that a made in Mexico guitar is really good. Ryan, it looks like your confirmation bias had been upended.
uh, I think you are projecting a bit. I love MIM fenders. I was just pointing out that the quality of MIM fenders has gone up dramatically since I first started buying them in the 90s.
@@60CycleHumcast No Ryan, it is not a projection and you are not a licensed clinician. I've listened to you rant about made in Mexico guitars plenty. On other gear you didn't particularly like you didn't mention where they are manufactured except for those made in Mexico.
I got an american jazzmaster one for 1300
it was a steal
So, only one position is decent. The "neck" position is the only one that delivers that for which you would buy an Acoustasonic- acoustic timbres and response. The other two are just humbug. Piezo? It's been ugly since the 70s and Ovation. The "Tele" pickup? WHY?!?!? It sounds terrible in all settings.
Hard no on this one.
He didn't just pull a wonderwall on us, did he?.
I legitimately like the Mexican version more than the American version. Imo the Mexican version has more tones that I personally would actually use. And I prefer the 9v battery.
Me too
我很喜欢这款琴
Bought one five days ago. It’s broken 7 strings in those five days and my ‘69 SG stays in tune better. It’s on its way back to the store tomorrow. Maybe I just happened to receive a dodgy one but it’s certainly not been fun.
Damn, I don’t need another guitar. My wife would kill me if I bought another guitar. I have an awesome Martin D18E Retro for playing acoustic thru an amp. In the past, I’ve owned both a Fender Telecoustic and Stratacoustic and did not like either. BUT……..DAMN, I WANT ONE OF THESE!!!! Specifically the one in burst finish. But, I can’t…….
I wish they would make an acousticisonic that was all natural wood grain. I would buy one. I just think the "formica" counter top look is ugly and cheap looking.
I think they are going to be popular in about 10-15 years. But 1100-2k for one big compromise is a tough sell. I think it’ll take a new popular artist to use one before they catch on. But who knows.
Hi All. I just picked up a brand new butterscotch MIM acoustasonic for $500 on Reverb through Franklin guitars. Great transaction. They actually answer the phone and talk with you about questions you might have before the purchase. So far I think its the most fun guitar I have purchased for the price. Love how light it is and the neck feels really good. I would like to coax a slightly fatter jazz tone out of this guy. Anyone have any experience with settings I might have missed or possibly swapping out the neck pick up for a humbucker in a single coil size? Let me know your thoughts.
Try some electric strings like D'Addario XL Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - EXL110-3D -10-46 Regular Light. They work great on a Fender Player
I like it. I've seen some older videos and one recent one of the Acoustasonic, and they all seemed to stuck on the thin, quacky Piezo pickup sound. This is the first video I've seen that the Acoustasonic sounds much better than just passable. I think it actually sounds pretty good and musically inspiring. There is still some work to be done on the EQ, as the highs are a bit too thin. I think the solution is to boost the highs, then filter off the some/most of the "presence" range frequencies. I think it would be advantageous to have a tone knob, though I was pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of the Blend knob. I think Fender is on the right track with the Acoustasonic. It looks very good and Ryan did a good job demoing it.
One other thing. It has a bolt on neck, and the guitar could double as a full size "travel guitar" if the headstock was a bit shorter. The full length of the neck on my Strat is 26 inches, so I imagine the Tele is about the same. The airplane carry-on luggage length restriction is 22 inches where I live. If the headstock was a couple inches shorter, an un-bolted neck would probably fit "diagonally" in a carry-on suitcase along with the body. I think that would be very cool. 😎
Watch it Ryan she can hit !
There beautiful and I want 1 but 1000s$ of dollars for mim or 2000$ for Mia I cant be the only 1 that sees fender price gouging. My great grandson will be playing a 6k fender strat mim by the time hes grown. Damn shame
It’s not Fender. Everything is super expensive now.
Thin sounding garbage. Fender needs to stay away from making anything Acoustic. That is and never was their thing.
Good video. I thing though. You took the time to tell us you changed the strings and it changed the sound. You didn't tell us what strings you used? What gauge? How it changed the sound compared to the fender strings? How it affected the guitars set up if the gauge was changed? I think that would be info we would all like to know. Nice playing though and good demo.
Thank you for your hard work. Appreciated. The pedals though, were not to my taste. I prefer the guitar 'naked'. Anyway, Well done!
Piezos seem to work best clean rather then overdriven, but extreme distortion works surprisingly well. You get a crisp percussive good sounding attack then a nice singing tone. Something like the Shark, taste it, or a Rat would be good.
just bought the MIA one and it works great for church PA system
I just bought one because of the versatility…most listeners will not be as discriminating and in a band with bass/Drum/accordion/lead electric
Im gonna be happy in the mix
I want to hear your band.
My ideal version is just the acoustic modeling, drop the electric pickup and it's just a thinline acoustic that sounds great plugged in.
Shill!!! I want a Squier Bullet Acoustisonic Mustang!! :)
So this is what the acoustic setting is for on the Katana. 🥸
I was really curious about these when they first came out. I play allot of solo shows but occasionally I manage to wrap someone into playing drums for me. I've tried to find a guitar that'll both let me do an acoustic folk thing and a guitar that'll work well with pedals to make it more interesting. After looking into these guitars I've decided they're not right for me. There are allot of other options out there that do the job better. I play a hallow body now and run it threw an acoustic simulator if it feels necessary.
Can you share what other guitars/options you're looking into? I own a Godin LGX-SA but always interested to check out other multi-voiced guitars.
Got one of these, used, for great price. Shadow burst. Love it! Amazing quality. For me, I use it mostly for the acoustic tones. And yes, perfect couch guitar too.
So rad to hear Jane Says! Haven't heard that in a while! And sounded awesome
😳 No you're Not the worst guy at the party. That sounds awesome! Yes of course it's fun.😅
It has a decent acoustic sound, the electric, not so much. It would be perfect for Electric players who want acoustic tone without the fat body and big necks most acoustics have.
This could be a guitar for people who have too much money, they probably have a fat body and big neck also....
Love the Jane's Addiction cover during the intro
Jane Says....Yes. Well done Ryan! Acoustasonic, still no.
I’ve watched about a dozen videos on this guitar and no one ever explained the neck plate adjustment/ neck angle Allen wrench thing! Thank you as that was only problem with this guitar at all.. it just felt like high action no matter how much I adjusted the bow in the neck. Now mine not only plays buttery smooth but the G string bends correctly even with acoustic strings Yaay! Thanks man 🙏
Glad I could help!
@@60CycleHumcast that was a game changer man! I thought the action was so off that I had made a mistake buying this guitar and that it wasn’t as high quality as I thought but that one little piece of information which I hadn’t seen anywhere in other reviews made me think that this guitar just might have started a whole new trend as I’ve never in my 43 years of playing have seen that feature in a guitar! Thank again man 👍
Yes, it costs less, but I’m still not going to own one until they get into the Squier range. $1200 - $1500 guitars are still too expensive for a lot of people. When/IF they get into the
I think the used market will open up that option to you, im sure it will be awhile till fender takes a stab at a squier version, I could be wrong though.
I enjoyed that opening. I’m a high tenor so I got to dig in like it was open mic with my buddy Ryan.
I really don't get it with these things. For me they look and sound awful.
This video has definitely sold me on these. Lots of great playing too!
Mate: You’ve got the chords to ‘Wonderwall’ wrong.
i know i know
Do you have video showing how you did neck adjustment?
Nissssssssssssssssssce 🍻
It's needs to come in green , orange , & purple!
There is a body ensor in the MIA models that's absent from the MIM that I think makes a difference in the low/mid part of the sound. And that's the only reason I haven't already ordered one. I'm not sure the value prop is there. $800 cheaper but missing a big part of the sound IMO.
Yeah the body sensor setting is very cool, I'm bummed that was left out. I wonder if it could be modded to do something similar.
Love Arctic White
I can’t decide if I like that white or not 🤔
JANE SAYS! I’M DONE WITH SERJIO!
Thanks for your video. I would like to know what type of string and the caliber you have put on the guitar because the ones that come from the factory are very hard to do alone
man, i'd love to have one of these. they look amazing. props to Fender for doing something new
I play regularly in a duo. Me on electric and my buddy on acoustic/singing. Sometimes I'd like to have an acoustic for certain songs or if I am singing the lead on a particular song, but I don't really want to bring and setup two guitars.
This looks like the ideal solution for me. I still need to save up for a while though.
Ryan, this is probably the best review I’ve seen you do! I really appreciate your candid thoughts on how you would use this guitar. Great job 👍 My wish with Fender is that they would improve the electric pickup options on these hybrids throughout the line. I don’t think they have nailed the sounds of their current choices. Maybe use a real looking pickup without the plastic look. Also, I would love to see them give us the option for humbucker pickups on the Strat and Tele models. I do think the acoustic modeling is done well. What do you think about my suggestions?
As an owner (and sometimes lover) of the original U.S.-made model (as a Tele), I appreciated your sound samples of the new one vs. your Jazzmaster. Valuable input for everyone interested in this. Adding my two cents‘ worth (also on the basis of two other videos I‘ve seen of the new model): I‘d say the new, cheaper, Mexican-made version is actually better (!) in terms of the basic acoustic sounds it offers - better as in „more realistic and woody“. The models used on the original model never really grabbed me. Will be glad to qualify that opinion if anyone wants to know. If you can live with fewer sounds (well, basically only with 2 acoustic sounds, but being able to blend them as needed), you‘ll maybe like the simulations more on this new model. As for the electric sounds, I also prefer their choices on the new model, though I find them slightly lacking in the treble/twang regions - i.e. they‘re a bit muddy to my ears. But running this into pedals, that shouldn‘t be a problem at all. As for the piezo-only sounds - interesting, but I‘d probably only be into the dirtier of the two, or maybe as a blended signal leaning more to the dirty one. And the missing body sensor pickup? Don‘t care about that because I‘m not really a percussive player, nor do I find that setting too useful live. Sure, it sounds woodier than the others, but it‘s also a bit boomy and somehow a bit nasal, and must be dosed with caution. I wonder how the electric sounds would be when run through a Fender Mustang Micro? That might make a killer setup for a bit of electric guitar in an otherwise acoustic set.
I noticed right away that the cheaper acoustasonic has a fatter almost humbucker type tone on the electric settings. Probably still good for someone that can't afford the extra 900 bucks for the other acoustasonic but to my ears I definitely prefer the more expensive electric tones.
That being said I'm looking forward to different iterations of the cheaper version and may end up buying one eventually... I like having the option of the 9 volt battery and I like the price point also lol
@@robbymayer5987 Totally get you on the electric tones (old vs. new). Just wanted to add that I sold my American Tele version for a couple hundred more than the price of the Mexican version, and then purchased the Mexican version. That‘s how much more I liked the acoustic tones on it, despite whatever the electric tones are. That said, I only got it this morning and only had the chance to play it unplugged for a couple minutes, so no impressions of the modeled sounds yet. Feels almost identical to the American version, but the unplugged sound is actually somewhat different, as in a wee bit louder/fuller. This surprises - and delights - me! :-) Don‘t know if that‘s because of different woods used, or perhaps they might have changed some of the inner grouting or bracing in the meantime, since my American one was from way back when these first hit the market. Oh, and my American one was in the Natural finish, vs. Brushed Black on my new Mexican one. At any rate, I like the black better, and can‘t wait to put this baby through its paces soon.
I have the same and sound great, I don’t like the sound on video, but maybe with headphones could be better.
It’s a COuchVID 19 ERA guitar….I won’t be buying it….I already have a Godin Multiac with synth access that has multiple sounds other than just two sounds and got It for less , yeah your a shill sell out but we love you .
You are the effects guy. I bought 5 Saphue effects pedals because of you. I really like those guitars. The simplicity and the awesome sound. Even without your effects.
There's another guitar I can't understand the pricing of. I think it's really a $299 guitar that they're just pricing wildly high to see if they can get people to bite. Which begs the question, is that an effective strategy? Hmmm.
So one may buy this guitar - rather limited and spit-buzzy as an "acoustic", and monotonal as an electric.
Or, one may buy a NUX Optima Air and produce decent sounds over a nearly infinite range of characteristics -useable with any cabled guitar you may aleady have.
Hello Guys, What Fender affordable amp would you suggest for this guitar ? I mean a versatile amp that can cover all acoustasonic player telecaster mods. Thanks for your help !
I bought the mim jazzmaster, the differences are mostly the electronics and switching. Since I’m no virtuoso it’s more than enough for me.
I went from thinkin' Bowie's REBEL REBEL TO Jane's Addiction Jane ays. Not sure if it was intentional but it was way cool
Nine V battery compartment?
I think personally these instruments make very good university Student guitars, where maybe having one guitar that can cover multiple sounds in a apartment living setting without having to have the hasssle of multiple guitars or dealing with a loud amplifier.....
IMHO it doesn't sound nothing like an acoustic guitar, just the piezo quack sound, not great. coming from a sound engineer.
