Dang, I just watched 4 or 5 Jazzmaster Acoustasonic videos and honestly you are the only one that pulled out good usable tones to my ear. Bravo Mr Ronquillo!
I love these guitars. I mean, as an electric guitar player in a rock band who needs an acoustic for 5 or 6 songs in a set (all the extra gear, feedback issues etc. ), this is the perfect sollution. I hear people talking about the high price, but having to buy a fairly good acoustic guitar with a good pick-up system and a good acoustic amp, that's not going to cost you much less, but you still have all the issues that you don't have with an Acoustasonic.
Mario, You are absolutely right. The Jazzmaster is roughly the same value as my Larrivee OM3 (Grand Auditorium) with a K&K pure mini in it. I hoping to find my wife at a moment of weakness and convince her that I need one for the electric sounds! I think that the Jazzmaster sounds the best of the three Acoustasonic options.
@@halfbakedmunky5566 Nooooooooo! The US made acoustasonic telecaster was released in 2019. The player series was released a year ago, shortly after my comment. I’d hardly have made my comment had it been released. Perhaps you should engage your brain before making such a pathetic comment.

I was going to buy one!! All the RUclips channels were running reviews of them (the player series) A YEAR AGO. You are such an idiot to start of fight over this, seriously just get out of your basement and get a life. Read the Guitar World article ……….PROPERLY.
Ok... of all the acoustisonics... this one's caught my eye! The larger body size just does it for me in an acoustic and have always wanted a Jazz Master body guitar... is this "the one" is the question! Thanks for the demo R. J... you weren't kidding when you said just wait ..you have some "things" coming!
If you hadn’t been playing what you were playing, and how you were playing it, I may not have continued listening to this demo. Nice tones on that guitar, which probably inspired this song. Nice, consistent rhythm. Nice work, sir! 👍
If you use Rouxinol R-30 strings (w/ a Wound B String) you'll get an interesting Jazz tone. These strings even include a Pick you can use to play them.
Wow, you seriously gave the best performance demo of the jazz master acoustasonic I've seen so far on RUclips and I've watched several dozen! Was on the fence about buying till I heard you play! Amazing stuff! 🎸 👏👏
Worth every penny ! Just plain MAGIC every time I pick it up! A good expensive guitar has to give something back with this you get MAGIC for your money !
When embargoes lift on these videos, a lot of people complain that they're all the same. There are three I know will have their own character: Yours, Ola's and Paul Davids'. 11/10 did not disappoint would listen again!!!!!1one
For some reason these latest fender acoustics (Tele too) remind me of the big chunk of deli meat that the person behind the counter uses to cut the slices from.
Este tío me vendió la Fender Acoustasonic Jazzmaster (no literalmente, pero este vídeo me convenció de comprarla), pero la mía no venía con manual de instrucciones para tocar así.
Thanks RJ, you could make a kazoo sound great...and that guitar's not far from it. As kids we used to weave paper and stuff thru the strings to get muted/kazoo/rubberband/sitar/banjo sounds out of acoustic guitars. Fender found a way to make saving paper very expensive.
Looks beautiful but personally i don't like how it sounds. Some sounds are good some not so much and the price on that thing. You can get 2 or 3 mim fenders for that price 🙂 But your playing is outstanding as always. Fender should use it as their official demo for the guitar! Cheers RJ!
I still think that acoustic/electric hybrids like these Acoustasonics are gimmicky, but it sounds good. Looking at the website, these guitars come with Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings. RJ, have you tried the sound of electric strings on it?
That's is a killer Sound and you play so beautiful in your own Blues style .I have the same guitar but I don't find the right strings .Which strings do you use on your guitar? Liebe Grüße aus Germany 😊❤
I've watched tons of Acoustasonic demos. I totally hate these guitars on so many levels. That said, if I don't LOOK at the video, RJ really makes this thing sound great.
What would you call that lick between 8:30 - 8:37? As in: what scale, mode or key is that in? It sounds really cool and that lick in particular got my attention
Could you please tell me your set-up? Amp and pedals (e.g. Line 6 HX Effects Guitar Effects). I just bought this guitar and want your tone so bad! Thanks!
Nothing wrong with these Fenders, but they're SO expensive. For anyone interested in similar features, seek out an American made Carvin/Kiesel Craig Chaquico model for a fraction of the cost. ✌️
Why oh why wouldn’t Fender have put a beautiful veneer on it. Then I might consider getting one. That to me would justify the high price of these. We eat with our eyes first. There are a lot of great cars out there that nobody wants to drive because of the way they look. The way they look now for 2 grand is a hard pass. For a grand I would consider it. I’ll wait for these to be in the used market for waaaaay cheaper. This is incredible playing and RJ made me want to take a closer look at these just because the way he pulled incredible sounds out of it. RJ is the f@cking MAN!!!!!
As usual RJ's playing is mind-blowing. Everything he does is pure butter! As far as the guitar goes, it seems mediocre as an acoustic and worse as an electric. Can't imagine dropping $2G's for one.
Crap. More money out the door that I don't have..... i love all the accoustasonics but have NO WAY to afford them. Where's the Squier versions??? Fender, do it before someone else copies you. That's the reality as you know. Thanks to the hardest working musician we know. 🤪
Just sounds like quacky piezo sounds, with either eq presets or impulse responce file presets. either way it sounds just like a plugged in acoustic which is terrible as every sound engineer would tell you. get a decent solid acoustic and mic it up and i guarantee it won't sound nothing like this does.
You couldn’t do what you can do with the Acoustasonic or others like it, using a lovely mic’d up Martin or Gibson and not run into feedback issues etc. unless you ring out problem frequencies at every gig. Because every space is different. So unless you are a crack live sound engineer or have one at your gigs, it’s not a practical approach for amplified acoustic sound. That said it’s not perfect (electric sounds are all bridge sounds, with no warm neck sounds) but Fender definitely made a unique approach handling those issues.
Great playing... but, guitar sounds weird. I wouldn’t be surprised if you are the only one to include the “paid promotion” thing. That’s cool, man. Okay, byeeee
Fender sending this shit to every youtuber on the planet trying to make a sense for this guitar. It sucks, in the look, in the sound, in the feeling, in the playability. The true Fender spirit actually lives only in the Custom Shop. Fender Usa Is dead. Period.
@@JohnShepherdMusic my house mate bought one last year (the Tele type) and I played enough to say it's not my stuff. I don't understand it. It wants to do everything but actually it does everything bad. Acoustic simulation are not even close to tonewoods or shapes they're referring to. I don't go more deep in personal taste like neck feel...but what's the sense of a spruce top in this guitar? I'm disappointed in those extreme marketing ideas...keep it simple Fender. PS: I'm sorry for some people bad taste in acoustic guitars... Just kiddin.
Uh, that guitar has been soldi after a year. Also expensive. And I thinks that's the kind of destiny for those acoustasonics. You buy it now, you think "uh ok that's cool! Look at all those features" then you realize you actually need a real acoustic, or a real electric, and then you sell it
@@Fubbernutt not being a dick lol but then again everyone has their own style and it’s not a hill I’m willing to die on but I just feel like Fender pushes this series sooo hard and I just don’t get it. On another note the Tele and strat ones do not sound nearly as good as this one tbh.
Dang, I just watched 4 or 5 Jazzmaster Acoustasonic videos and honestly you are the only one that pulled out good usable tones to my ear. Bravo Mr Ronquillo!
Not sure if that speaks poorly of the instrument or of the other players..or if RJ is just using nicer preamps/EQ'ing.

Mr Ronquillo, thank you for the best demo on the Jazzmaster, and your fabulous performance. Godspeed 🎸
Have seen several reviews. No one else came close to making it sound as good as you did. Kudos.

I feel the same. It's not even a proxy for wanting a JM. I just think this one is cooler than the other two.
Amazing player. I didn't know these guitars could sound so good.
Bro I kind of like that guitar. It’s so different. The bottom end sounds amazing. You’re always sounding amazing as well
If you have a jazzmaster acoustisonic video in 2021 you’ve made it on RUclips.
Great playing as always.

Couldn't care less for the product but man...RJ's playing is outstanding! Vibes for hours. Thanks!
Out of the three... this one has the acoustic tones that I like...
Same here!!!
Hey I will add my approval too! I owned and sold the Tele version. Sounded really boxy acoustic and the electric tone was really limited
Can I buy RJ’s hands? Man, that dude can play!
They probably are for hire!
Sounds great and killer playing too!
Somebody give this man a winning lottery ticket, please.
Wow, you seriously gave the best performance demo of the jazz master acoustasonic I've seen so far on RUclips and I've watched several dozen!

Amazing stuff! 🎸 👏👏
I just want a tutorial or a lesson on how to do the right hand fingerstyle stuff. Beyond awesome.
Every gear sounds amazing played by RJ. Super axe like this sounds like absolutely awesome. Clap clap 👏
What an instrument(s) & RJ, you are the one, Brother !
the best demo vid an he brought out the sounds Amazing
Worth every penny ! Just plain MAGIC every time I pick it up! A good expensive guitar has to give something back with this you get MAGIC for your money !
Man, you are going to make me file for bankruptcy, stop doing this RJ!!!
I really like all of the Acoustasonic models. I just wish they matched the pickup covers with the body finish.
Beautiful guitar. Great playing! The more I see the Acoustasonic, the more I like it!

Sounds Awesome,Love everything you play RJ. ! Great job.Best Acoustasonic DEmo by far. made me want one,lol

@@brooklynboy1000 Gilmore’s Black Strat and this are not the same animal homie.
