@@GuitarZero2Hero expect me visiting more frequently on your channel bec. i decided to learn to play guitar after i watched your ed sheeran "one" tutorial. the way you teach is exceptional and i feel like i can learn it in a week. kudos sensei.
Hey Dave, Like I’ve said previously..This was definitely my best acoustic purchase to date! In 2021 I bought 5 different acoustics of all shapes and sizes..But unfortunately due to a lower back injury from a few years ago I couldn’t play any of them comfortably for very long.. When the US version of the Acoustasonic was released I new just from the body shape alone that it was the guitar for me..But of course the price point and the fact that I was not long getting back into playing again, I couldn’t justify the purchase.. Then there’s whispers of a Mexican made Acoustasonic and I was on it!! Although still pricey as you know everything in Aus is more expensive lol 😆 I new I had to try one! Luckily my local store had one arrive and I was there that same day..Played her..Loved her and sold my other acoustics to pay for it!! A win win!! 🤓🤘🏻
Great review. And you play very Well my friend. You really made this sound Awesome. I just got one. It's pretty cool. Now if I can just play like you 😊
Excellent review. Best one I've seen so far. Your comparisons between the tones were genius! Thank you! Would have loved to hear you play the electric side though some distortion or a high gain amp setting.
What a great review. I was wanting a side by side comparison of the American and Mexican made and you nailed it. I also wanted the comparison of the different sounds in the three positions and it was great to hear them more than once. Well worth the time spent watching.
This is a fantastic review. Thank you. I had already almost decided to buy and your review convinced me 100%. Seeing the model you were playing, I decided to change from the black option I had originally thought of purchasing to the sunburst option
I love the lo fi settings on mine. It’s a great couch guitar that’s good for small homes where you have limited space, limited budget. I bought mine used and paid well under a grand, got a good deal for once in my life :)
If you really want to go crazy on the more Tele side of it; I put 9 gauge acoustic string on it and it was very fun to play but of course the acoustic side suffers. BUT, if you needed a Tele for a gig and didn’t have a normal one, this will get that done for sure.
I have watched every RUclips on this telecaster and yours is the most informative and best that I’ve seen. Great job. Pls do same with jazz master player
I prefer playing acoustic because I like the sound but I find electrics easier to play. I was hoping this would get the best of both but it's not looking that way. Any feedback on bending strings on this when not plugged in? I would have thought that was a unique benefit to this guitar.
Since it’s sound is based on modelling they could have an app with which you could choose what sounds you have in each selection as well as their relative volumes....
Thank you Dave for a really nice and informative review. Would this guitar be something for someone who prefers the acoustic sound but sometimes would like to solo or play an electric guitar? Or is it better to just get an electric?
Fantastic demo of a guitar I’m really curious about. One big question for me though: as a hybrid instrument does/will it need any sort of initial specialist set -up? And if (when?) something goes wrong is it likely that a regular luthier would be able to sort?
Hey Dave… Extremely wonderful review here. You will always be my go-to guy for anything guitar related and your lessons have always been spot-on and the very best!!! Personally, I still think they are still too expensive but you make them sound pretty wonderful. Fender is just charging too much for these guitars. While it works great and sounds pretty nice, it just cost too much for most players. I have a Gibson Les Paul tribute with P90’s that I was able to get new for $899. One of the coolest guitar I have is a Fender Mexican Telecaster with Seymour Duncan Hot Pickups with the Fishman system on that I have about $980 into. Then I have a Godin Multiac that ties into a Roland synth and with everything including the synth unit I spent right under $1000 US for it all. I also have a Michael Duncan Patriot guitar with the Seymour Duncan P-Rail pickups with triple shot switching which cost $899 new. Then I have my old 1977 Yamaha F312 Twelve String guitar which I bought for $325. …and finally, for outside playing here in humid Florida, I have a Garrison composite acoustic with internal carbon fiber bracing. (Yes, the Canadian company that Gibson bought and got rid if because their guitars were too good.) My point being that you can certainly get two or three great guitars for the same price point that fender wants for these guitars.
Hey Buddy. Thanks for your comment and great commentary. All very valid points! I think this guitar is in a different category altogether though, it won’t fully replace and acoustic or an electric entirely but is one that can do both to a decent extent. As I mentioned in the video I don’t think it’s a guitar a player would start on when learning, but rather one for live acoustic performers or those looking to experiment with a unique sound. Great to hear from you again :)
@@GuitarZero2Hero Dave, you are the very best no matter what. One of these days you need to get to Florida and I’m going to really show you the town. I might need to get one of these just because of your review. You are certainly “the man!”.
Great review! Spectacular content as usual. FYI I have searched everywhere for a good Autumn Leaves lesson and nothing even comes close to your lessons. Is there a chance that you will ever make an Autumn Leaves lesson? It would be a great addition to your content and I believe will be a nice touch to the styles covered by your lessons. Keep on trucking with your priceless channel!
Thank you for the video ❤ Can you please tell what should be a proper distance between strings and fretboard on Acoustasonic player with acoustic strings? Mine are almost at 1/4 inches at the 12th fret and it feels to high. And if it is, how to lower it? If you can help me out, I would be forever grateful.
Great vid!! Very informative, great sound, great job capturing what I can only hope is what it actually sounds like! Ordered one and should have it in a few days, I hope it sounds this good! Great job on the graphics too! When you were looping towards the end, was that back through the Boss acoustic amp? Keep up the great work! Cheers!!
The truth is Dave you make anything sound amazing🤣🤣 jokes aside I have just taken delivery of mine today and it is a magic guitar for looping, I have 5 Martin top ends and Taylors but for looping this takes the cake for sure. Thanks for a great video.
Nice description. Eye watering price point is right. Looks like a fun axe. Price was still too dear for me, but the brief sale over last weekend changed my mind. Even at 30 percent off it's expensive. Two guitars in one is not a good pitch if it costs more than the two guitars it replaces. They probably cleared a lot of back stock with that sale. But I struggled to pull the trigger.
Hello, Amazing review. As you seems to have tried, how is the electric sound on an acoustic amp? The loop pedal is plug into an acoustic amp or electric amp? As you play both type. Thank you!
Hi Dave, I am doing a lot of research on this Acoustasonic Tele. Of all the YT videos, yours is one of the best in demonstrating the guitars potential sounds with the tones and settings. Your musicianship is amazing and really adds to the quality of the guitar demo. I am seriously considering buying this guitar just from your video! Thank you so much, have a great day
Thank and you’re welcome! I would suggest trying it in person first and foremost :) that way you’ll really get a good idea of what it can do and if it’s right for you :)
Excellent review. Liked the way you summarised what sort of player this would and wouldn’t be good for. I was wondering, how heavy is it? Like an electric or somewhere in between?
You’re playing chords I’ve never even seen before! While these guitars are a lot cheaper than the US models, they still have an eye watering price at close to 2k! I still want one though 😂
Wow! That just moved up to the top of the list of guitars I will get when I finish your courses! Did I hear a trace of Damien Rice in your demo? Hopefully that is predictive of a tutorial soon!
Dave you have the same one I just bought and mine is black yours sunburst nice one, the main thing some of them the colouring of the fretboard and the bridge is mixed colours how about yours??
Very nice review Dave. Can you talk about the neck in more detail. Is it the same as a tele neck or more of an electric/acoustic hybrid? I have small hands so the neck is a big deal.
Hi can you make a tutorial on watch over you by miles kneddy alter bridge , I have been struggling with the chords and the strumming pattern and can't find it anywhere ..it would be a great help btw love your videos
Hey Dave, I've been kind of down on the acoustasonic series because I couldn't figure out what the point was, but I'm coming around to the idea of one given the Player is much more reasonably priced, and I see now what could be done with it. My only question is; what is the 'acoustic' side of the guitar like through a BOSS Katana amp on the "acoustic" setting? The accoustic stuff you demo'd sounded great through an acoustic specific amp, but I'm curious how it would go paired with a Katana (I presume your katana demo was using the 'electric' settings to pair with the traditional tele bridge pickup and not the acoustic stuff).
Hey! I recorded a quick demo with position 3B here for you through the Katana 100 on the Acoustic amp setting. This is just using the USB recording feature, actually sounds better coming out of the speaker in my opinion but I couldn't be bothered micing. Not as nice as the acoustic amp but definitely still sounds good. Ofcourse I'd recommend you try it yourself to hear it properly :) drive.google.com/file/d/1K5ciIgEKrz_zEiEilC9uzZoxJBiEJBxG/view?usp=sharing
Hi Dave. I notice your Spark in the background. How does the Acoustasonic Player sound through the Spark? I have a Spark and I’m thinking of getting an Acoustasonic. I was planning on leaving the guitar at the clean setting and doing all of my sound adjustments by using Spark tones. Is that a workable plan? I’m totally a home player, no gigging etc.
Yeh the Aus RRP prices are always way higher than what you find in store. So it ends up being about the same with the exchange rate. I’m the US though the RRP is usually the actual selling price.
I''m quite impressed i managed to finish the video while fully aware that I can't afford this beast. But I didn't regret watching.
Thanks for watching!

Hello, just a question : still happy with your mexican acoustasonic ? I have a "sensitive back"too.
@@45zapatero Extremely happy! It’s my one and only acoustic. 😎🤘🏻
Hands down one of the best reviews, very methodical and thorough, a pleasure to watch. Exceptionally tasty playing, too. Thank you!
Probably one of the best descriptions I’ve seen so far. Super detailed and well explained. Made me order one for Christmas
It’s beautiful. I will hopefully be able to get one, one day when I’m not a beginner anymore
Great review. And you play very Well my friend. You really made this sound Awesome. I just got one. It's pretty cool. Now if I can just play like you 😊
Best video on RUclips makes an amazing comparison between different series, even better than the official fender vid demo thanks a lot !
You have the best tones of anyone who has posted videos on this Fender! Sounds so great! Thanks for your excellent review.
Thanks for watching :)
Excellent review. Best one I've seen so far. Your comparisons between the tones were genius! Thank you! Would have loved to hear you play the electric side though some distortion or a high gain amp setting.
Great demo and description, and you've gotten some of the best sound out of the acoustic side that I've heard anywhere. Thank you!

Killer video and playing! I got mine last night!! It’s amazing to hold and play. It will absolutely do heavy rock as well.
just got one yesterday, can i ask, does your red light come on when you plug it in? can't find info about that anywhere
If you really want to go crazy on the more Tele side of it; I put 9 gauge acoustic string on it and it was very fun to play but of course the acoustic side suffers. BUT, if you needed a Tele for a gig and didn’t have a normal one, this will get that done for sure.
@faithoverfear. I haven’t noticed! I’ll check it out tonight.
Hey Dave can you make a tutorial of 'Stop this Train' by John Mayer .I love it's fast fingerpicking intro .It just sounds good
I have watched every RUclips on this telecaster and yours is the most informative and best that I’ve seen. Great job. Pls do same with jazz master player
Great video! You kept it moving and made it very informative. Thanks for putting this out!
Glad you enjoyed it!

The acoustasonic strat has been my dream guitar for about a year now .
Thanks a lot - best review I have seen so far.
Nice review. The gig bag is really nice. Great explanation and demo of the 6 voicing positions.
Since it’s sound is based on modelling they could have an app with which you could choose what sounds you have in each selection as well as their relative volumes....
That dreadnought sound 😍
Thanks so much for this helpful and very interesting review! Kind regards!
If Fender didn’t pay you for this ,there’s no justice. Brilliant.
Thank you Dave for a really nice and informative review. Would this guitar be something for someone who prefers the acoustic sound but sometimes would like to solo or play an electric guitar? Or is it better to just get an electric?
That’s a very beautiful guitar, Dave! I recently purchased a Taylor GS Mini and I just love it!
GS Mini is a spectacular guitar!
@@GuitarZero2Hero it is, indeed! It motivates me to practice more 😄

Hey Dene, thanks! It's incredibly light. Abou thte same weight as a regular acoustic guitar, which is way lighter than a solid body electric.
Thanks for this wonderful review! I'm a beginner and it's so sad this guitar is not for me yet :)
Dave whats the differ between Fender A and Cole clark tl2ec blbl hss
I didn't even know there was such a thing as an acoustic amp!
Haha yeh plugging an acoustic guitar into an electric amp sometimes results in some pretty awful tone.
Hey Dave I love all of your videos. Can you please do "Enrique Bailamos". Only you can teach it perfectly
You’re playing chords I’ve never even seen before! While these guitars are a lot cheaper than the US models, they still have an eye watering price at close to 2k! I still want one though 😂
499 on reverb right now

Hey Steve! Haha no Damien Rice there, but thanks for the reminder! I'll look to do a tutorial soon
So, it sounds like the Acoustic setting on the Katana doesn't cut the mustard? Or will it do if you can't afford another amp?
Wow! I love that! I wish i could have that someday. 🥰🙏🎸

@@GuitarZero2Hero I figured you had the acoustic amp, but I reckon you missed a trick there. Would have been good for us Katana users.
$500 loading on top of USA price seems a bit rich. But Fender Aust list prices have always been shaky with what you can get if you ask for a discount.
Yeh the Aus RRP prices are always way higher than what you find in store. So it ends up being about the same with the exchange rate. I’m the US though the RRP is usually the actual selling price.
