How To Play The American Acoustasonic Telecaster | Fender

What is you favorite feature on the Acoustasonic?
Being able to draw multiple quality electric and acoustic tones from the same guitar, with almost no effort. You just need to be honest about whether this style of instrument fits your use case; it's a perfect fit for mine. YMMV.
The Hole
It looks fantastic
@@marklewis7484 pppppffffffttt
The $2000 price tag
Admit it Fender, you made this guitar so that people could play all parts of Stairway to heaven on one guitar at the music store
@YASSER BARRAGAN estoy 100% de acuerdo!
Only if it has a 12 string effect built in.
And could drive themselves crazy trying to remember which position did what.
Man, I hear that a lot! Really don't know why people talk shit about it. Rewind back to 1976, when I first picked up my brothers Tele...it took me a school year to learn "Wish you were here" and "Stairway to heaven". LOT of house parties back then, and at every party, I would find a guitar in the house, and play those two songs. I haven't slept alone since!!! So, here is to you Jimmy, thanks for "Stairway to Heaven", and 50+ other awesome tunes that I will continue to play on my Tele/SG and Les Paul!!!
@@gowencrazy agree!
I’m not into this particular model but for some reason I like watching videos about it
Careful.., ....it will grow on you! It's like saying, "I didn't go in to the music shop to buy a piano but..." (Kind of how I ended up with a guitar pickup and an OC3)!
i bet you feel vegan playing this
I feel like I'm ripping into a juicy, bloody steak, personally. ;-)
I feel like I have an iron deficiency
Vegans play Jazzmasters, duh
@@gdrugg2006 nah dude he has a point. This kinda looks like a vegan trying to say they can play electric guitar.
The vegan of guitar world
Was hoping to hear a little more string bending. Anything Jazz, Rock or Blues would speak volumes(or not) for this instrument.
Bends not work since the strings are acoustic (bronze). I tried this guitar today at store.
Did you say..... *G chord*
This is exactly the innovation I have been waiting for Fender to come out with over the past 15 years.
I stopped playing guitar mostly because I got tired of lugging around my electric rig everywhere...but not ever finding the right electric/acoustic also.
After 3 years of blowing money and time buying and selling electric/acoustic guitars and lugging my rig everywhere...I threw up my hands and quit playing.
I think this will get me back in the game.
I started saving for it yesterday.
Thank you Fender...you've done it again.
Now i know what guitar i want for life!
So far I'm sold. Will have to get a few in my hands to experience for myself before I decide whether I'll bring one into my life or pass, but I do love the versatility of this instrument. Been wanting both a traditional Tele and a Martin 00015M. While this doesn't exactly sound like the Martin, it could still fit my minimal acoustic needs while giving me some Tele twang when needed, so I'm excited about playing one of these. My only lingering question is... how much?? I appreciate that Fender is trying to innovate. That must be challenging when you essentially have to redress the same basic product line over decades. This is how you stay fresh. Hoping this instrument lives up to the positive buzz I've been feeling so far.
It'll set you back $2000.
you can literally buy a tele and a martin for 2000 why would you not just buy the real thing
The Tele version looks much more enticing than the new Strat version.
For 2k you could literally get a beautiful Martin standard series guitar Om-28, 00-18 etc that would last you a lifetime
Noooo. An OM-28 standard is $3400.
I think this would be the perfect guitar for the stage. Also for looping. It would certainly mean I would only need to bring one or two guitars instead of the four acoustic and two electrics I bring now (or whenever the whole Corona virus deal is over and we can all get back to playing live. The only drawback would be my wife would rather I break my back hauling a bunch of instruments then tonbuy a new one.
I like the idea of the Acoustasonic because it feels like an electric guitar, but has that genuine acoustic sound that you can’t get from a clean guitar but at the same time, acoustic guitars don’t really feel too comfortable for me because of how widebodied they are. I definitely am intrigued and want to at least play it before I get it.
Hello, I was wondering what amp was ideal if you want to play acoustic and electric pickups on one amp?
Position 3A sounds the best.... is there a way to get the selector to stop on 3A without using a piece of tape?
Sounds impressive. But I'd have to try one in a store to be bettered convinced. We'll see.
3B sounds soooo good
The only thing I like about it is the body sensing pickup to do percussive stuff. I think I'll stick with my Taylor acoustic lol. ;)
This seems to be a controversial guitar but it is a fine demo. Thank you.
Have you seen the price😂
Freddie Handley music Overpriced, I agree. But it’s probably because it’s a new concept and they haven’t developed a cost-efficient manufacturing method yet. If I were to put an accurate price on it, I’d say maybe $900.
That position 3B sounds LUSH
High e string is not amplified enough. Sent it back, got another one, same issue. Anyone experienced this? What is the solution? Thank you
I really like it, the blend with acoustic and electric
T5 or this Fender, how am I supposed to pick?
I've bought 2 of these guitars love them but I've had to send them both back. The jack keeps coming unplugged in mid play.im a professional musician and cant really afford to have this happen at my shows.I'm use the same L shaped jack that i use on my acoustic guitars and have no problems with it.Am I doing something wrong or is this a common problem with the Mexican made acoustasonic.
I wish someone could play Cliffs of Dover on this...
What guage strings? 9s,10s , or 11s
11-52
Say “mod knob” twenty times fast.
I have a Godin A6 which claims to sound both electric and acoustic just as this Fender does. The trouble is, you can never be happy strumming acoustically with 10g strings that have to be light enough so that it plays like an electric when you want to switch. It just didn’t work for me so I swapped the steel strings for 11g bronze acoustics and it became my favourite electro acoustic of all time because a blend of both pickups works very nicely. To my ear, this very impressive looking guitar will not be chosen by serious guitar players because it will never do both things better than 2 individual guitars. Nice looking though.
How much is this?
I purchased one and has been plagued with electronic issues and has been in the shop with a certified fender rep and under warranty ,been getting a runaround from fender on availability on parts they like to put parts in new ones they haven't sold yet but cant honor what they have sold already and has malfunctioned
Does this play as easy as a electric guitar should play?
I own one. Simple answer...no. In my opinion it is not a very enjoyable instrument to play...feels toy-like and cheap. The acoustic sounds are really good and I will use mine to record acoustic parts on my DAW in my home studio. But that is my opinion.
Can yall make left handed acoustasonics
The acoustics are great but the tele sound sucks. That said I will still get this for the acoustic sounds! I wonder if the tele sounds bad due to the strings?
sounds like mark horpus
What kind of strings are being used? Electric or Acoustic?
Acoustic
@@littlefella2001 Bass strings, because Frankenstein.
U should use a acoustic guitar simulator by impulse responce for a real sounding acoustic
The electric “Tele” tone absolutely sucks. Why not put actual Tele pickups in it? Maybe they relied and it failed I don’t know, but the acoustic sounds better than my Yamaha silent acoustic, more options too, but I would never use this as an electric unless it was totally washed out through the pedal board. I thin an EQ pedal would bring some life to it.
Left handed model?
i dropped my pick in the one i was trying at the guitar store
Take a shot every time he plays a g chord
I died
He played the g chord 100000000000000000 times so i think dead
Realy boring
🤣
He wants you to hear the different settings with the same chords. It makes perfect sense.
Are you an electric or acoustic guitar?
Guitar...yes.
Acoustic sound and Electric FEEL....never liked how an acoustic feels...NEVER, I only play bar cords.
Subtitles:
“(Acoustic guitar plays)”
Roberto Canchola wrong just wrong
I have no idea if it's going to get easier or harder to get picks out of the soundhole
You’ll never see them again. Just turns it into a shaker.
His voice sounds like John Mayers
jake schleifer god damn you
Indeed!
Oh yeah...
even his name looks like John Mayer LOL
shit now i can't unhear it haha
Hats off to Fender for pushing the envelope. This technology will only get better. Like the idea.
play another g chord why don’t you
God forgive him
dont hes just learnt wonderwall
Heh. It's kind of funny: on other videos folks were complaining about the use of fancy jazzy chords that most players don't even know. So, someone sticks to bread and butter chords and still comes the complaining. Shows you can't win. :-)

I just purchased this guitar and all I can say is "Wow!".... This is MY GUITAR. I love that it feels more comfortable than my Fender Stratocaster and allows me to play it all on one guitar. I couldn't be happier. I'm so inspired that I'm sure to improve my playing skills because I don't have to change out guitars from Acoustic to Electric anymore. I can jam with the one and play anything I want. 🥳🤭😊🥰🥰🥰🥰
thats a really good comment because i have been looking at this guitar for a while, might sway be to get it :)
*me
Is there a way to get rid of the piezo twang? I was thinking about buying one for recording but that twang is a dealbreaker.
this tele in particular feels like a lot of thought went into this. different wood on different positions of the pickup switch and the A/B knobs, giving versatility to the soundscape in tone for folk, country, or whatever acoustic range a player can find. sounds great with effects and the bends in this baby is a trait rare in some acoustic builds. I just wish these dudes would push some boundaries unless they're trying to hide the flaws.
All the sounds seem to suffer from a boxy, banjo like undertone very similar to a line 6 Variax - I think the lack of air and resonance in the body is a big issue for an ' acoustic' guitar - looks nice though.
I was looking for the correct words to describe it and you nailed it. Whatever setting it is on, it lacks depth, the bass sounds forced and the highs sound very tinny. It reminds me of a combo, Chet Atkins SST/Taylor T5 but just much worse and hollow. Great concept though and for gigging it would be adequate. I will stick with the D28 and 714ce.
Idk why this guitar seems to be getting hate it seems beautiful and innovative. To each their own I guess
It identifies with metro sexuals
It is literally a frankenstein guitar. Is is mediocre at both acoustic and electric playing. At the $2000 price point, it is a Timmy buy.
I can't understand why anyone would buy this guitar.For one thing they look awful. Its probably worth 600$ People going gaga over this. Godin has been making these for years and at a cheaper price and BETTER OPTIONS. Oh well, Fender understands that you can't fix stupid and make a huge profit at the same time. Has anybody read The Emperor's New Clothes?
I am loving this thing. I feel my wallet emptying as I type this.
Be careful it has electronic issues found out through my own personal experience
My review of the actual guitar: First let me say, I had high hopes for this. I play in a country rock band with lots of guitar changes during our set. This disrupts the flow of the show quite a bit. While I would never use something like this in a studio setting, I saw this as a potential solution for me on stage. I ordered one. When it arrived, I unpacked it and played for about 30 minutes, and decided it wasn’t for me. Why? Well, first the good part: It really does sound great plugged in. There are several good, useable acoustic sounds, and the Tele pickup is also passable. What I didn’t like was the tone/blend knob layout. In a live situation, where I’m singing lead, and trying to switch between electric and acoustic sounds, there is no way, in some combinations, to switch back and forth with ease. It would require carefully switching the 5-way to the right position, and then making sure the blend knob was in the right setting. WAY too much to think about, when the whole point was to try and simplify. This sort of switching might be great in a studio setting, where you have a lot of time to tweak and find just the right sound, as in the video above. But I have great vintage “real” acoustic guitars that I would much prefer to record with... As I said, this was supposed to be for live playing. Also, I really didn’t like the feel of the guitar. I could not escape the feeling that I was playing a Baby Taylor. It doesn’t feel like an acoustic, and it doesn’t feel like an electric... so, does it feel like an old pair of jeans? Uh, no. Look, guitars are very personal beasts. To feel comfort on stage, you’ve got to have something in your hands that feels familiar. This couldn’t have felt more foreign to me. And, it did not have the feel of a high end guitar (read price tag). This felt like something that should be under 1k. I’m sorry to say that, and I’m not one of the “looks new/different and therefore can’t be good” haters who have lined up here to poopoo on Fender’s parade. I’m just writing this in the hope of dissuading people from ordering this online and having to return it; a gamble i wittingly entered into, and lost $114 in return shipping costs. If you think you may be interested in this, GO PLAY ONE IN A STORE. Don’t buy it online.
Fender gets extra points for development and innovation. I just don’t think it quite landed. At least not for me. YMMV. Cheers.
Great post. It does sound pretty good plugged in and the nice thing about it is you can just plug it into a regular amp and get some really decent acoustic sounds . I wasn't really impressed with the electric sound and unplugged it sounds like shit. I do actually like the guitar and would consider buying it if it was a lot cheaper. 2 grand it's just ridiculous for this guitar. I don't see the need to have this guitar made in America and cost $2000 when they could've easily made it in Korea and charged 800 bucks for it . To me it's just a novelty guitar that I could be coaxed into buying at the right price but at $2000 fender is not even in the ballpark.
Great review, sir. I started scroll down when I heard it play unplugged. I think you are right, that indeed this is an overpriced guitar. Real acoustic guitars sound & feel better.
I think you have completely missed the point of this guitar.
@@officialWWM That point being?
I liked the honest review - very clear and objective. An acoustic feels a big, lightweight hollow thing with a fatter neck, unlike an electric that has a slimmer, heavier, tougher feel.
This is a hybrid of acoustic and electric - it won't feel the same BUT with time, you could get use to it. I always play a strat, then it took ages to get use to playing a Les Paul. But eventually I did.
I absolutely loved some of the acoustic sounds and when blended from A to B position. BUT how does it feel in your hands to play acoustic style songs on an electric neck? that will be my concern. I could imagine playing funk guitar on this.
It is pricey ...... they have to pay for all of the R&D but the all timber finish looks pretty damn good. Unrelated, I liked that silverface Deluxe Reverb amp. Why did he need all the pedals when going electric - not necessary. I am sure any pedal will make it sound more electric ..... and wonderful.
Again, thanks - I will try before I buy. Why did you do an on-line order anyway?
Really beating that G chord to death there bud
Buy a real acoustic and electric and save money too.
OK...I'm looking around right now, what can I sell so I can get this...my car, my house, my kids. An acoustic guitar that sounds that good, in a Tele.....wow.
But can you play wonder wall on it?
This sounds like a piece of cardboard. Why would anyone buy this?
Now imagine if your pick fell into the soundhole....
That's a laugh BUT a real on-stage, live situation.
私、このギターを買ってピックをホールの中に落としました。
ホールから出すのは難しかったので後ろの蓋をドライバーで外してなんとか出せました。
Got my sunburst yesterday and it surprised me how good it sounds, unplugged! And it resonates soooo much.
Very interested in this guitar. The only problem is: NO ONE has them!! This has to be the worst product launch ever.
Skaking the neck around doesn't do anything. But it looks like your doing something organic I guess.
Where do i sign up to win one.
The action of this one seems quite high. Can the saddle be set up to some extent otherwise it's just a piece of electric digital and wood material. Honestly, it did not sound good to me.
G, he sure did play that chord a lot.
I C what you did there
I have to say that I did not like the sound of the guitar when it was completely unplugged. It sounded great through the amp and it's gorgeous.
..it's a great live guitar ...if you're looking for a pure " acoustic " sound ...then play an acoustic ....same with electric.
I like it but doubt I'll spend 2K on one. I have too many other nice guitars.
"How To Play The American Acoustasonic Telecaster"
Ahh, so you use a strumming motion while holding a guitar pick...got it!
This seems like something where you're trying to get the best of both worlds and you end up with the worst of both. You'd have to be utterly insane to spend 2000 of your dollars on this. Honestly, I came here expecting to fall in love with the thing, but it sounds like...
A triumph! Great to hear the acoustasonic given a bit of welly, I’m looking forward to trying it out for myself.
Sounds like a guitar made out of plastic.. 🥺
I just bought mine and am looking forward to playing it, but please, Fender, PLEASE, can you widen your selection of left-handed models and wood types? Or make a Player version in left-handed? We lefties are always getting the fuzzy end of the lollipop!
It looks like it should have a hand crank and a Roy Rogers decal.
It’s amazing
Thank fuck I play bass.
Thank fuck I play bass.
All it needs now, is the rainbow pride colors
Position 5B this is the sound of a midi guitar...sound A3 this is the sound of a midi guitar micd up to sound like a midi guitar.
I don't get it. Especially for $2-$3k. Trying to be a jack of all trades, but master of none. Fail.
I liked the presentation - just let us listen to the guitar. Many videos are just people showing off fancy playing.
What the heck is a Fender fighter twelve. Unlike the American Acustasonic Telecaster I have never heard of such a thing.
I wonder how JJ Cale would have played with an Acoustasonic Telecaster.
When I first saw this guitar, I was instantly hooked, I guessed it would of been worth around $800 - $1200 not $2000 ($3800 in Australia) man come on!! Fender people ask for cheaper models but what do you do? Make more exotic more expensive models that the average guitar player can’t afford. I love ya Fender but I can buy a car with a couple weeks of registration with that price tag, and I’m not even kidding.
Expensive is subjective. Some people settle for a $2000 car, some $20,000...then there are those who get the $200,000 cars. Has it ever crossed your mind how silly it is to cry about product tiers that exist in just about everything we buy? Also, this guitar is mediocre at best. Sounds utterly boring, and brings no inspiration whatsoever. I picked one up a few months ago..."huh, what the hell is this??" I put it down after a few chords. Bleah. Be thankful you couldn't afford it ;)
I think this is the greatest Fender ever made since the Stratocaster. Leo would be proud!
Why don’t like fender. Because I want too many things they make. Naughty on them.
These always kinda sound like shit. Maybe this one is different, maybe not. But it's just so tinny
Im curious to play it to see if it‘ll be as easy to push the strings down as an electric.
there is this rough deep obvious acoustic sound right on the attack of the strum every even when it is on electric setting... it's a no for me
Excatly. I feel like they should just expierment more with semi-hollow or fully hollowbodies.
The point of the guitar for me is being able to switch between an acoustic sound and a strat lead guitar sound without switching guitars. There's nothing new here the concept is the same as T5
Doesn’t do either job well.
Agree!
Damn want one of these so bad. Too bad the $2500 - $4000 is stuck firm
:(
Lmao better off just buying both and electric and acoustic guitar which are better for cheaper
It’s made for early 2000s praise and worship bands.
It is not able to equip whammy bar so cannot be used this as an electric guitar...
This does not sound good. All the variances have the same thin tone, with no bottom end. That is one thin sounding ax. 2 Grand? Sorry Fender, this is a loser.
Tommy Volinchak agree the sound is awful and its a one sound guitar. Did anyone really hear any difference when he was fooling with knobs etc... you hear only what they suggest is a different sound... but it really isnt.. spend another grand and get a martin ghat sounds beautiful right out of the box
@@frod043 or just buy a strat for around £500
Que bosta por 23 mil.
Não pago 1200
1:45 Man, that sounds terrible. You are banging away on that thing and it sounds like a twangy pos. Not impressed. But really? trying to make out that this guitar sounds good when played acoustically and then playing it through a microphone is a bit absurd.
Looks ghastly .. Looks like a toy !! Put a plain top on it !!!!
...or better saying, how not to play...😂
I like everything about this guitar. I’m sold. I want one.
