Just to clarify- the Player series sounds *much* different than the American Custom series. The EQ choices and modeling all sound more realistic. I've heard side-by-side comparisons, and the MIM can't keep up. Love the 9 volt battery, though.
Very helpful because you are 100% correct. The other reviews there is a lot of finger picking and bringing out the softer side of the guitar. This guitar is what it is. It is not a solid body electric. It is also not a handmade acoustic sculpted to accent the highs. The acoustasonic is light, easy to play and has decent sound sims for not a ton of money. Thanks for your review.
@@JulianGrimmMusic I have 11 guitars at the moment, all very nice, and this Acoustasonic Tele is by far the one I reach for most. I could not recommend it more highly.
Great idea for a review. Enjoyed it. I have an acoustasonic tele and it sounds great. I've managed to get some amazing acoustic-like sounds out of it that I think are on par with some of the best acoustics I have played. Some of that comes down to amps and venues. But I liked your approach and, yes, you highlight the greatest joy of this guitar -- It's the very first one you want to pick up to play on the couch. So much fun!
I watched this again and I actually had no memory of the first time (scary, but true). Great job! I agree that no plugged in acoustic guitar sounds good. This is as good as any. I also think that this "hybrid" guitar is a category unto itself. Excellent and fun review. Thanks.
Hoping to get one. Am struggling with the start of arthritis in my hands and think the smaller body will help. Looking forward to trying one out at a shop next weekend
Love this honest and fun review, thanks! 👍 I already have plenty of guitars at home (Classical nylon, steelstring acoustics and a Tele and a Les Paul), but search for a new versatile lightweight all-in-one stage guitar, that's easy on my hurting back and will help me to explore new sounds and occasionally rock a dirty bit. I wanted a HSS strat, but all of them are too heavy for my back, so that's why I looked into the Acoustasonic Jazzmaster (because of the humbucker). I think about getting the American version, for the most soundoptions, but that one has a serious pricetag, so hopefully it proves it's worth 😅
I have the Jazzmaster Acoustasonic and it love it. You’re sooo funny. I love your review. This is a versatile guitar and great for gigs because you only need one guitar.
Actually, this is a very great review. I think that Fender would not like you saying this is not a "normal" or "regular" guitar. Also I play acoustic and I consider it to be normal and regular. I would love to know what you think of the new Fender Highway guides! Thanks again, great job.
there is such a thing as acoustic punk ( the violent fems comes to mind, poly by nirvana, jane says, ect ) ... you do have to play it a bit different though. EDIT: oh crips, they are expensive ... I would be more inclined to get a Yamaha SLG, for that reason......I was in an acoustic punk band for several years, it does force you to expand. see if you can ear pick "punk rock girl" by the dead milkmen ... that will have you looking for chord shapes you need to know.
great Videeo!i wanted to buy it and now i buý the jazzmaster ......i am a hard core Porch-chilling-guitarplayer....and i play actually with handycapted younger People .... Reggae......the best greetings from Bremen Borgfeld nothern Germany!
Sadly I didn’t even know this guitsr existed til a week after I ordered the telecaster acoustasonic or I’d definitely rather have this one. Lol. Oh well. Guess I’ll just buy both
Hey Julian! Appreciate this video. I’ve had this guitar in my Fender cart for weeks and have been looking for guidance from other people similarly situated (not a great player - however, I think you don’t give yourself enuf props truthfully) to help me make the decision to purchase. I need to play quietly, most of the time. I was going to get the mustang micro personal amp and some decent headphones so as to attempt a reboot of my guitar playing self. If you have an opinion - and wouldn’t mind sharing - I’d love to know if you think this guitar would work in that situation. I really enjoyed the video and I love your style and personality. Thanks again for sharing this video.
Great review. It would be interesting to see you give a similar review of the PRS Hollowbody ii Piezo. That's more of an electric covering the job of an acoustic. It might suit you better on your gigs. Just a thought 😜
As a folk-punk musician playing an acoustic who's been looking at this guitar for a while now, THANK YOU! You're spot on about people reviewing this guitar in a frustratingly one-sided way most of the time. So, it seems like if your just using the raw sound, the acoustasonic is a guitar that tries to do both, but kind of falls short of either? What were your experiences combining it with pedals/effects to help boost that tone?
I like your approach to reviewing this guitar and the choices of what to play and what to compare it to were smart. But i really wished you played every different tone in isolation because it's extremely hard with youtube compression and not-great speakers to hear the subtle differences in the tone.
another thing,... if it has a wound G, ditch that string set for heavy electric strings. i run the Paradigm 12-56 in C# standard tune on my electric...and that would sound more like an electric.....and if you tune higher, just try one or two sting gauges down, or not? it has magnetic pickups, right?....use electric strings.
I think you are right on the whole. However, of you compare a simulated all-mahogany guitar with a sitka spruce (the Yamaha) you cannot complain that the former sounds boxy. Should have tried the other sound for that.
I mean, to be fair, that is a Seymour Duncan invader. Which is flipping hot. Doesn’t mean you are wrong, it just means that the Acoustasonic is really “weak”? “Thin”?
Yeah I don’t think the acoustasonics were made for metal or punk rock. Mainly for those who play mostly an acoustic gig with being able to add some not so acoustic sounding leads in here and there. But enjoyed your review!
Love it bro!! I got 3 Jazzmasters if ya wanna borrow one for a week to play with! I love but then I’m a guitar slut! Been picking up some Ovation’s lately, love those guitars! Great real world review , you rock
Re-upload? Already saw this 😁 and yeah, I don't want to be that guy but it seems like it's not very good as acoustic and bad as electric. But it sounds different, like an other instruments
This guitar feels great in the hands, looks interesting, and has a unique idea behind it. Unfortunately, it manages to make even the best players sound like amateurs.
I’m kind of tired of RUclipsrs who get the stuff for free and don’t really use it before reviewing. And now it’s the best time to buy this one used and it’s still probably better than the new highway ones.
"Real guitar" so... your definition of a real guitar is an electric guitar? Curious... Each mind is a whole different world... I really don't get your point on using an acoustasonic for playing funk... 😂😂😂 Or hitting hard power chords 😂😂😂 You're truly a funny guy. Cheers!!

Finally someone plays chords! Thank you!
No worries!
@@JulianGrimmMusic what gauge strings are you using?
@@renemendez9480 0.10
Great review and comparisons! Thanks for putting in the time.
Great review and the bonus of no shredding. Subbed!
I can totally relate to the punk rock style playing, really appreciate you're work
Thanks so much!
Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video

I’m glad I could help!

I wish I could get my hands on that!
@JulianGrimmMusic me too, I think it might be an interesting gigging guitar...or perhaps horrid
the intro alone made me subscribe.
there is such a thing as acoustic punk ( the violent fems comes to mind, poly by nirvana, jane says, ect ) ... you do have to play it a bit different though.
EDIT: oh crips, they are expensive ... I would be more inclined to get a Yamaha SLG, for that reason......I was in an acoustic punk band for several years, it does force you to expand.
see if you can ear pick "punk rock girl" by the dead milkmen ... that will have you looking for chord shapes you need to know.
This intro spoke to my soul 😅

Pedals make this guitar amazing to be honest! It’s a very fun sound to play with!

lol. I’m not the only one! Thanks for a review for normal players! Cheers
I think you are right on the whole. However, of you compare a simulated all-mahogany guitar with a sitka spruce (the Yamaha) you cannot complain that the former sounds boxy. Should have tried the other sound for that.

Cool video, love your punk gear reviews. You should review the Tim Henson plugin, your Gojira one was great!
Thanks!

Accidental early post hahah
This guitar feels great in the hands, looks interesting, and has a unique idea behind it. Unfortunately, it manages to make even the best players sound like amateurs.
My normal guitar! 😆
I tried the tele version, meh!
The acoustic is the normal guitar tho 😅
But this is so last year...but at least you had it for a year and didn't just open the box.
I’m kind of tired of RUclipsrs who get the stuff for free and don’t really use it before reviewing. And now it’s the best time to buy this one used and it’s still probably better than the new highway ones.
