Rob’s hat looks like it was added in post using clip art.
Great guitar player, terrible fashion sense
Instagram scalp de-spectralizer.
😂
he needs crocks to go with the hat
CatPick Studios Kind of a mid-life-crisis hat.
Wow, it's like you get two guitars for the price of .. two guitars.
.....but needs only one strap and one set of strings.....amazing, isn't it?
Yeah only having to buy one set of strings means it will pay for itself, in 200 years.
To be honest, you can get a MIM Tele, a decent acoustic with electronics, and on of those SuperChamp X2s for a true electric tube amp as well as an acoustic amp model setting for LESS than this thing costs. Maybe not the most prestigious, but still.
Meh
More like 1.2 guitars for the price of two. Two for the price of two implies it does a good job at both electric and acoustic sounds but it's maybe .8 of an acoustic and .4 of an electric.
For the price point, you could buy both: telecaster and acoustic separately.
....but you can safe money buying just one Set of strings.....okay....the amortization takes a little longer....
Not a fan of that thing, but the idea is you can change from acoustic to an electric in real time in the middle of a song or whatever. Not just getting a tele and an acoustic in one.
What if you are homeless, live in a cardboard box and don’t have room for 2 guitars.
To be even more precise. You could buy Fender Limited Edition Whiteguard Strat in Vintage Blonde and a Martin 000X1AE Electro Acoustic Guitar. Or just PRS Limited edition and spend remaining 1,2K on pedals.
Buy 10 200$ guitars and build yourself a mansion out of boxes they came in?
I actually picked mine up two days ago. It's a really great guitar. Worth 2k? Hmmm. Debatable if ANY guitar is, but I dont regret for a second spending it. I love this thing! Don't hate because the price scares you.
Good for you. It's all about your needs in an instrument. I have a Variax that I use exclusively for acoustic sounds in a duo. The ability to play a comfortable electric guitar but sound like an acoustic is more than worth what I paid for it. What do you mostly use yours for? I may yet end up purchasing one down the line.
They hate because they broke!
How would you say it handles distortion or rock music?
I’m obviously out of step with the trolls.
I really like the look and sound of these guitars.
Rob’s playing immediately sounded sweeter and more refined to me - except of course the inevitable fun shreddy flourishes.
Its not cheap, it dares to be different. So everyone knocks it. I think the idea is not to replace a quality acoustic or electric guitar but to perform both styles without having to swap guitars on stage. It may not be cheap, but its cheaper than a Gibson LP Std and a Martin (all solid wood) acoustic combined.
tokairic I have a Parker Fly that does it better.
And it's sold quite well so like the PRS Silversky, people can knock what they think is a silly guitar but the instrument is still so good that it sells itself
3:24 Ohhhh Rob... you naughty naughty boy
That's what she said
Would like to have seen more of the acoustic settings with the electric strings we already figured the two electric settings would be improved by switching strings to electric.
I love and hate with equal measure how effortless Rob makes guitar playing look
Ok, you guys blew it! I was interested in hearing how it sounded through ALL of the acoustic settings with electric guitar strings! 🤨 TAKE 2! 🎬
The more I see and hear it, the less I like it. Just isn‘t for me.
This demo isn't giving the guitar justice
Boeschner Same here. It sounds digital and thin, like a cheap modeling amp sounds.
SO WHENEVER I SEE IT OR SMELL IT, I MAKE THIS NOISE TO WARN YOU -
*eeuurrrRRRGGGHH*
Chapman is really doing it no favours
The people who are gonna buy this already have a tele and probably a strat, at least 2-3 acoustics and a 335 or similar. They’ll think that it’ll inspire them in some way and look cool on a Hercules hanger in their music room.
Some will be loopers who will realise the value of something so versatile.
Maybe a few will be buying their first guitar and love the idea of having 2 in 1.
The haters gonna hate but just like relics. Fender will sell loads and make good money from a quality product whilst people argue on the internet.
I'm thinking... If one has a Tele, Strat, 2/3 Acoustics & a 335 ... One does not need this guitar...
Nick. I think you’re confusing “need” and “want”. But that’s also what my wife says to me every time I buy a new guitar.
I have the same issue...
When asked how many guitars i "need" or "can play at the same time" I usually make reference to her shoes/dresses....
Or... I wait for her to purchase something before unveiling my latest Guitar. With 9 & counting, I have some experience with need Vs want 😆
The struggle is real brother. 9 is a good number. I just can’t quite bring myself to go to double figures. (Ok, I’d love to but the wife would kill me).
@@chrisjs6123 - i know, right?... with a Strat, Thinline Tele, 335, 2X PRS electric 1 PRS acoustic, Taylor T5z, cheap Strat copy, & precision bass even I'm thinking i cant justify any more 😅
So I received mine finally last night. This was the 3rd one. I can tell you for sure the Gig bags suck something terrible, my first 2 were destroyed in shipping. Basically the front smashed in. Why they didn't do a hard shell case is beyond me. The problem seems to be the knobs on the front, they cave in the front of the guitar when they are stacked for shipping. Its an acoustic it is not meant to support weight all on one point. I am definitely not a fan of the gig bag for the price point. PRS makes an awesome gig bag for their CE models.
Ok that being said, now I can finally get to the guitar. It really is a lot of fun. It is more than just an Acoustic and an electric. You have several different acoustic voices from Parlor guitar to a dreadnought. As a gigging musician, this is a fantastic guitar. It is light weight, sounds great and works great. You can really get some great sounds out of it. I definitely wouldn't put electric strings on it. However I was really pleasantly surprised as how good it does sound. Now if it is not plugged in it is still playable, however the sound is a little off, unplugged it sounds about like those old Ovation guitars from late 80s and early 90s with the plastic back. Not the greatest of acoustics but worked. Still I had a lot of fun with it last night. A lot more than what I was expecting. I fired up a looper and then looped a rhythm and then overdubbed it with another acoustic sound, which really sounded like 2 unique acoustic guitars playing then dropped into the tele mode and soloed for a while. I also then got to experimenting and put a Electro harmonics Pitch fork on it and then I got an acoustic 12 string sound out of it, yeah the high e and b strings were also shifted but for big chords and so on it works great. I mean when your going through a pedal board. You have all those tools you can throw at this thing and get a lot of different sounds. I wouldn't be surprised is some people do record some unique stuff with it. Me I bought it personally for on stage, getting an acoustic sound out there, I don't need to mic it, I can roam around on stage. I don't need multiple amps, I used a Marshall DSL 40 CR last night primarily through its clean channel. I honestly thought it sounded better through there than through an acoustic amp. Worth the money, yeah, I will definitely use it. Needs a case or a much better gig back though, that is my only disappointment.
Do you remember about 10 years ago, that guy in work who used to wear crocs all the time? Yeah...well that's Rob's hat
I also changed to electric strings, it was a much more familiar feel, but it just didn’t sound right, not bad, just not right. I switched the top E, A, and D strings back to a phosphor bronze wound string and I kept the G, B and E strings electric and I really like this combo. I think it was the wound G string that I didn’t like.
Mike did you have to adjust the tension on the neck and if so, how much?
Tell chapters to use his barre finger to deaden the nut side of the slide so it sounds like slide and not shit hehe
Oh shiet, I'll have to try that when I get home from work.
@@ZedCactus learning to do that properly is probably harder than to hit the right notes (slide noob here too)
@@ZedCactus tip i got, if you fingerpick put 2 fingers on outside strings (lead)
@@tomdijk5549 Thanks, man! :)
Why? You damp with the heel of your right hand, like Son House did.
What does a fender acoustisonic sound without strings?
That's actually a valid question in regards to the percussion setting, lol
EagleMalkavian I was gonna say that haha
Better.
We need Mike Dawes to test
$2000 cajon
no offense to all trolls but like everything in life these days, you can either afford it or not. Unsurprisingly, people bitching the most about it are usually underpaid adults with no plan to improve their income.
Saying you can buy 2 and half guitars with the same price is like saying I could go to work on a skateboard instead of wasting 5 bucks on trains everyday.
FINALLY! Been checking back every day for this!
I played one of these yesterday. They are phenomenal. The video does the guitar no justice at all.
I like that Fender is using some ebony that would normally be overlooked, but Rob's fretboard looks like it has a poop smear.
Colour variation is natural in woods; sometimes desireable in more exotic varieites such as Pale Moon or Macassar Ebony, Cocobolo and Sapwood. Furthemore its effectivley part of the figuring for woods such as Snakewood or Redwood can be noted by the discolouration.
@@n1w4 Not desirable here, it looks like a child finger buggered his bum and swiped the fretboard.
The whole point of ebony is that it is solid black throughout IMHO. But tastes differ, for example I can't stand streaky bacon rosewood necks either.
That’s a very tasteful interpretation.
Royal Ebony is more expensive than traditional varieties of Ebony due to it having the same tonal characteristics, but a more varied and striking apperance. I was more just put off by the immature analogy jvan made tbh.
3:29 That's some of the best lead playing I've ever seen Rob do.
Im more of an electric player but love the idea of this GTR ..so bought one! . Top E is catching on first fret so im sending to my guru Mark Wilmott to set up once I've sorted strings... a tad annoying for a new GTR but will come back as a much better instrument than when it left Fender.
Strings...
Came with 11 --52
Great tone and probably correct for getting the best sounds. Bending a "G" or "D"..hard work, so tried ..
Elixir Nanoweb 10 - 47
Really expensive and honestly sound terrible. There is no bass end and the wound "G" .023 "
was not happening for me. Plus they sound terrible on recordings .!!EUGGH!!! (£20 down the drain!!)
Ernie Ball....
Earthwound Extra Light 10 - 50
AWWLLRIGHT!!!
Suddenly this is a great guitar ( still needs a set up)
Yes, Its a compromise soundwise , but with this string gauge you still get the bottom end and playability.
Acoustic guys, stick to the original 11's.
If you wanna party, .... check out the Extra Lights!!!!!
this confirms what I said on a variety of other sites... this is a versatile player that most guitarists will have at home, in the studio and maybe even for small and varied gigs with multiple groups/styles of music...and Fender does not pay me or know me!!!
The electric sound would do a quite convincing Led Zep sound. I wouldn't say it sounds like a Tele but it's a very nice, unique electric sound. Jimmy Page could probably do something very nice with this thing. Nice video
I mean, with electric guitar strings plus a magnetic pickup, plus electric guitar gear, this is essentially a Semi Hollow electric. It sounds great though! I know that this would be easy to use on gigs, specially if you sing too and have a trio or something
can I change the 1,2 and 3rd strings to electric, then keep acoustic strings for 4, 5 and 6, then I will keep the acoustic resonating sound for lower voice when I strum, while I can have electric guitar agility (e.g. to bend) whenever I play solo?
Perfect right before I go to work y'all! Maybe I could just skip work and go to guitar store near me
Kannon Carey I mean that’s kinda the dream isn’t it
Love the color of the wood on the back.
It is similar to the Acoustic Telecaster I made from an 8-foot 2x4 in a video on my woodworking channel. Fun to play and without the bulk of a full acoustic!
How many of you guys who are knocking this guitar have actually played one? I have and I will say I was actually very impressed. I still don’t agree with the $2000 price point, but regardless it’s a great guitar.
I have one and its great. Its made in the Fender Custom shop. I feels like a 2.5k guitar to me, but what do I know, I only own one...
Fender nailed it with these guitars so versatile.
Serious Mississippi delta blues sound with that slide
Some one who'd really do this guitar justice is Justin Johnson (the guy who played blues on a shovel guitar) the dude's an awesome slide player from Tennessee
What Fender really needs to do is make a double-neck version of this so you can string one neck with bronzed strings and the other with straight steels. Can even put the soundhole in the middle to make room for more pickups.
I concur, That black one was made for Rob.
hey chapman drop the hat and bluesman schtick, its like watching malmsteen do bob marley covers
xD
Or Malmsteen trying blues... Oh wait...his newest album is blues... oh god...
Let the man live
This isn't going to please anyone. They don't sound as good as even a mid priced $400-500 acoustic guitar and can't replace an electric either. I don't get it?
Everything about Fenders marketing in the last year or two has been squarely aimed at hipsters. They have everything except an Apple logo on their official media. Young, impossibly attractive people in skinny jeans and check shirts..
This is just the guitar equivalent of a macbook air init ...
I guess you would get this if you are lazy want to do both without moving or changing. Or if your traveling I guess and you can only carry 1 guitar but need to have both sounds
Robs playing is amazing as always. I love the fretboard look and the guitars sound good. Still seems like a novelty yet.
Buy a Godin A-series or Multiac steel spectrum for half the price. Godin is already doing it better for the gigging musician. Andertons needs to start carrying Godin and Seagull guitars, they will fill the void in your lineup better than some of the brands your currently stocking.
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.
sorry but that slide sounds so grating on those strings
To be honest I think that’s crap technique rather than the guitar
Yeah, he's not dampening the strings in front of the slide.
That’s all Rob
@@roxville My opinion is that the slide is too heavy for the strings and the slide is hitting the frets, JUst my opinion as I do play slide guitar.
Im not even interested in these guitars. Same for most of the time, its just nice to watch a chill and positive video. So much negativity that just gets you down. Thanks Lee and Rob for jamming out and recording
I'm glad I'm not the only one who picks up an acoustic guitar and immediately starts jamming Slayer riffs. = )
I actually really like the look of these guitars, especially the green one, although I can't put my finger on why. Everytime I hear someone play one though, I cringe a bit. Does it not sound tiny and hollow and metallic to anyone else?
ER Webster I’ve watched half dozen videos they sound horrid, without exception
Could be the nature of the beast or the tone signature from the amplifier. I'll have to go look if someone did a straight up PA test to avoid one modeling software tampering with another (or analog wiring with the modeling software).
If you see the vídeo that the Captain and Pete made, they connected the guitar into an acoustic amp and it sounded great, but I agree with you, the sound in this video is not very good, especially for the price of the guitar
I have one - it has to be run through an acoustic amp as that is what the modelling software is attuned to. As a lightweight, telecaster-shaped acoustic it is phenomenal. So good I sold my Taylor as it won't get used now: unlike in this video it has a rich, articulate acoustic tone. As an electric, not so good - needs some treble boosting to rid it of woolliness, but it's so handy to be able to change guitar type on the fly when looping.
Paul Clifton thanks Paul. We needed another voice of reason speaking from experience.
Playing in pubs each week and doing my best to jam leads on the acoustic, looping with body percussion and dealing with feedback etc... I am hopeful this will be the solution to all these problems but pragmatic that the compromise is tone.
Great to hear you find the acoustic tones rich.
These guys are my favourite guitar duo by far pls make more videos
The power of hype is strong with this one.
Like the concept of this guitar a lot, thanks for the video guys!
I got the jazzmaster shape and love it. If you like it you like it, ignore all the boomers that say it’s awful and you can just buy an electric and an acoustic for the same price. What 2 American made fender guitars can you buy for just over 1k….
It’s innovative it’s inspiring and it’s different, guitarist hate change and anything different so it’s no wonder they get a bad rep. Try one out in a store and see what you think, I think it’s a great blend of an acoustic and electric and sounds great 😊
This has to be the most “dad band” guitar ever.
All of the videos of this guitar I've seen has them playing through an amp...I wonder how this would sound through a DI box, like the Fishman ToneDEQ, for example.
Good point... That's the problem with a lot of these demo videos. "Here's a product that you would want to use, but here it is in a way you'd never use it..."
What electric strings did you use? 10-46?
At 13:46 Lee says ‘I like it’. You can tell by the way he says it that he definitely doesn’t like it
exactly what i thought
At least D'Addario makes a .10 -.46 set with a wound third. Easy to play and bend, and makes acoustic sounds sound better. Or...more acoustic. Also helps balancing the overall string levels through the pickups.
What we need is the same body construction, full hollow, set neck, two Humbuckers with two f holes.
They seem like great lil guitars; I use an Epiphone John Lennon EJ-160e bc it has a real pickup in it, but these are smaller & have better electronics. Not sure how the acoustic sound compares, but Fender has put a lot of thought into these & I'm definitely going to check one out 🤔
I remember the intro from an older Anderton's video for Epiphone Ultra III 😁. Been following you guys since then, coz that is around time when I bought mine. Keep up the good work guys!! Love, from India. 🤘
That green finish is amazing!
Russ Freeman would do it justice too. Wow and they still sound awesome without amplification. I WANT ONE!
To quote the great Al Czervik from Caddyshack: "Bet you get a free bowl of soup with that hat!"
I need to hear more, not sold on it just yet. You should send one to my house here in the mountains of Colorado. I'll play it for a bit and then let you know what I think. I promise that I will give it back.
Great video! Love you guys
I agree with Rob about the colours. I think the black one is the best. They're also a bit expensive I think.
Sounds Great
The black one Rob's playing is beautiful with the light line in the neck, but hot fiddlesticks it sure has a steep priceroony!
is the top of the guitar as thick as it looks on the sound hole??? how thick is the back???
Love the fretboards on those.
on mine I hear a lot of string noise when changing the chord (factory strings are acoustic I guess). Fast Fret didnt help. Other strings then?
The "thing" going down into the sound hole is not a "huge ***" . This is a mini "O-port".
I feel that rob should of been very successful he totally deserves to of made a top selling album he’s a fab musician very hard working and Lee is so much better than he thinks of himself as musicians and entertainers they’re fab to watch and listen too...
Again, I have to ask, what if you drop your pick into that guitar?
Seems like a better option to keep acoustic strings on it, especially with 3.5/4 of the positions being predominantly acoustic models. Great vid though! Saves me from stringing it electric and seeing what's possible! Definitely makes you think about how much more efficient your live set would be with a guitar that could handle acoustic and electric duties in one light, light instrument! 3 lbs I think? Just need to wait until they move production to Mexico or throw a Koa top on it! The future looks fun for this line...
That green one looks great 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I definitely want to try one out. Very cool idea.
6:41 this boy been to the crossroads
Brilliant! Sure you can argue that it's been done before, Godin, Taylor, et al. However these truly stand on their own. Way to go Fender!
So what strings were used to replace the factory acoustic strings?
What brand/gauge were the electric strings used? Soz if already asked, can't see it in the thread.
They sounds great. And it’s new
Chill everyone, u know they’re gonna make a Mexican version eventually. Labor in Cali is expensive, made in USA is gonna cost $$$. Better to start expensive and release a budget version down the road than visa versa and give it a “cheap” vibe from the start. It’ll never end up a classic if it started out as a budget guitar.
I actually think it's a pretty good price, one Gretsch I want is 2800 another 3400 but they're classic.
Ol' Hitscan I have a Gretsch and it does what these guitars are trying to do far better.
Can you play this unplugged? Or will it not be loud enough?
A lot of people are saying you need to mute the strings behind the slide but that is not true. I play slide an dit is so hard to keep you your fingers on the strings behind the slide. Especially on the upper frets. This is my opinion:
Keeping you fingers on the strings behind the slide to mute them is just a old wives tale. If you watch Duane Allman, you will, often, see his fingers behind the slide come off the strings. That happens all the time when you play on the upper frets, as you need to keep the slide going along the fret line and you can't do that if you are on the upper frets and you try to keep your fingers on the string behind the slide. You have to turn the slide a little and your fingers come up off the strings. What I believe is going on is that the slide is to heavy for the strings. That means the slide is pushing down and contacting the frets. That is why you get that sound. Or Rob is pressing too hard or a combination of both. Just my opinion. Just look at the following photo: it is Duane Allman playing slide with both fingers behind the slide lifted off the strings. www.allmanbrothersband.com/index.php?module=My_eGallery&do=showpic&pid=5324&orderby=dateD
Also don't forget, they have a contract with Fender and have probably a ton of these to unload so they are going to talk it up. That being said, doesn't sound bad thru 10,000 quid worth of amps, microphones and software. Not to mention about a grand worth of pedals.
Digging Rob's look!
Can you use an ebow?
The problem with the idea to build a good electric and a good acoustic guitar in one instrument is that at the end you might create an instrument that is mediocre as an electric and as an accoustic instrument. I don't even think that the idea is new.
The problem ist that an accoustic and an electric instrument work in an opposite way.
With the accoustic guitar we want the vibration energy of the string to change (mostly) as fast as possible to a vabriation of the top wood (good attack) and possible long (good sustain), the sound (as a change of air pressure) will be amplified from the body and come out through the hole to hear it.
With an electric instrument we want exactly the opposite.
We want to loose as few as possible from the energy of the vibration of the string in order to get a good attack and sustain through the pickup. So energy should not be lost in wood vibration energy (which would mean lower attack and lower sustain)
In my opinion both worlds can not exist in the same instrument, without to have mediocre results on both disciplines.
And then with this price i guess that this guitar will be a flop.
Personally i didnt like the accoustic sound of it.
(Sorry for my bad english)
I bet it would suit Pete much better, and I am not just talking about the hat!
Do a video on putting Electric strings on it
Do you have to adjust the Truss Rod
I use DR Zebra strings with my electric/acoustics with the "under-string' pickups. The wound strings have alternate bronze phosphorous and nickel windings.
I like this blues man with the hat, reminds me of a prog metal dude I found on youtube ages ago. He had dread locks though...
Have they compared the acoustasonic tele to its strat counterpart?
I rarely look at a Fender and say I truly want one, but I want one of these. But, for a Tele with a hole knocked in the thing, 1500 is a big bite. Hopefully a Classic Vibe comes out.
Rob just looked for ways to use the guitar effectively, Lee seemed to fight the instrument , somewhat. I think it sounds pretty good.
Is Rob's hat available as a protools plugin? The Chapman hat spatializer. On a more serious note what does Fender have against lefties? I would buy one if it was available.
these are gonna be a massive flop
hese are -gonna- be a massive flop
Its the biggest pre selling guitar that Fender have launched in years.... But its all a matter of opinion I guess.
it is obviously not marketed for the mass-market, at that price point. but it is one of the most innovative and just different guitars over the last couple of years, which might be enough to make them successful in that market of expansive speciality guitars. I am not really into the whole pop singer songwriting folk crowd, but I can totally see these gaining a following there.
@@andertons I'm surprised - but numbers don't lie.
@@redstrat1234 yeah, it's literally not a matter of opinion, lol. Numbers can't be opinionated.
What amp do you use for it? Oh and do you know the nut width?
What is that sound at 3:45?
I love the sound and look of this guitar. Definitely something I’m after... Any cheaper alternatives?
I like how the Fender logo is carved into the headstock...
Sounds like a quick string change req or buy two ?
