New and Vintage Reissue Fender Acoustic Guitars!

[@Mick-Dempsey]

I’ve be subscribed to Anderton’s since the beginning when Rob and Lee made the very first videos and when Lee became the captain.I don’t know how many years that’s been but in all those years how the hell has this channel not broke one million subscribers yet ? Seriously,how can you still put out this amazing quality content for so long with incredible characters and players and almost have a family aspect to the channel,let alone the shops amazing service aswell having bought from them numerous times and still not have the Chanel break a million,it blows my mind.

[@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040]

Can't speak for anyone else but I cannot watch captain's and that Danish bloke's videos longer than just for a few minutes. The cringe is unreal and palpable. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@snapfinger1]

An all out commitment from Fender, timed perfectly. Buck Owens, Loretta Lynn. Ultimate stage guitars.

[@simonhughes656]

Something in my eyes that isn't right with the giant Fender head stocks on these acoustics... to me they make the whole guitar look oddly proportioned

[@FlyingCircusAct]

Agreed.

[@silverman169]

It can definitely be quite jarring. But I actually quite like it on the Player series with the coloured tops and matching headstock where they are going for a modern aesthetic.

[@ereimul1444]

The Redondo looks slightly ok because it's a dreadnaught guitar. Maybe the Malibu and Newport headstock should go for Telecaster. Just my two scent. nonetheless, i enjoyed playing those guitar.

[@joequintana5546]

I'll tell you what I'm waiting for. A Squier Acoustasonic Telecaster.

[@ereimul1444]

@@joequintana5546 im down with that. @fender please make it happen

[@joibjalla]

I like the looks of the top tier ones but I have no idea how the acoustic sound is after this video. Hope you guys make another video with them mic'd up.

[@DeltaJazzUK]

I think you can guess the quality of the acoustic tone from the fact that they didn't bother demonstrating it.

[@michaeljohnson8058]

Maybe Fender is aiming these at a demographic that can’t be bothered with micing up & sounding good 😰

[@joequintana5546]

I'll tell you what I'm waiting for. A Squier Acoustasonic Telecaster.

[@FlyingCircusAct]

I searched Amazon for old style Nike basketball sneakers the other day. I figured if Danish Pete can pull ‘em off, maybe I can as well. One can only hope …

[@nickspitzley8539]

I'm really stoked for the vintage series. Having played several fender acoustics I can tell you they hold their own. So vintage style with all the updates that make a great acoustic... sign me up.

[@msigersYT]

We got to hear how bad the electronics are. Id like to hear them mic'd up, but I'm digging the headstock and look of these.

[@PearHellforge]

should've mic'd them, built in preamps don't do those guitars justice

[@JumboJimbo015]

Finally Fender acoustics with the proper vintage headstocks! Been hoping they'd do them.

[@gregweber3387]

Those 3 Fender vintage series acoustics look fantastic! I love the look of that Palomino in that sunburst coloration.

[@ereimul1444]

i enjoyed playing those acoustic the first/original runs. good price and good quality to my surprised. sometimes i wish they go for telecaster headstock just for the new vibes.

[@sundaynightdrunk]

Yeah, the Tele headstock would look a lot better on these. I think the Strat headstock looks really odd on an acoustic.

[@trollstjerne]

I prefer the headstock shape they use on the Paramount series. Would be cool to see them make some high-end made in USA acoustics.

[@guimarboy]

They did a few years back. They didn't sell very well

[@drumsNstuff79]

A music store did another youtube video on them. They just didn't catch on. They launched and didn't sell very well at all. I think the classic six in line Fender headstock shape of these vintage inspired guitars have more appeal, seeing as what's selling on the vintage market. The Paramount guitars were great quality and looked nice but maybe the aesthetics didn't appeal to the buyers and that is an important factor. All the other makers do three on a side classic Martin style headstocks, let Fender be unique and true to their heritage. That's just my opinion though.

[@jorgesxbass7606]

Beautiful Guitars, Redondo Player Natural cutaway is Top!!!

[@StratsRUs]

Cutaway on a 12 String helps.Especially if you detune a whole step, like many do !

[@lukekelly4360]

I have an original 66 fender Malibu. Interesting guitars

[@BillWolfe]

The blue player looks like a nice one to have around the home studio.

[@jeffgualandijr9420]

he didnt play the 12 string what happened? you dont get to see really anybody cover Fender acoustic so this is really cool. hope to see more because they are largely overlooked.

[@MrVarwor]

Really happy to see some more acoustics! Stellar work guys!

[@scottfishkind5335]

Love your channel!! One recommendation that I would make is that when you demonstrate guitars with pickups, use an amplifier and capture that sound with a close mic in front of the amp. Unfortunately piezo pickups sound thin and unnatural when recorded direct! I can’t imagine a scenario where you would hear this type of direct sound in a live situation. These guitars all sounded terrible, despite Pete’s excellent playing. I’m sure wouldn’t sound like that in most live situations. I have done quite a few demonstration videos with acoustic-electric guitars through my Fishman loud box mini and it makes a huge difference in terms of demonstrating the more likely application of the pickups.

[@beatlemike9]

I can't complain about my Fender acoustic guitar and acoustic bass! I don't even own a Fender electric guitar!

[@DefenderB0SS]

Lol I just bought an original 1971 fender Kingman natural with binding and block inlays. And now they release new acoustics. And also I think I am partially personally responsible for those old fender acoustic searches I've been searching for them ages on reverb every day.

[@hunternichols9463]

Haha right I bought a 68 Palomino for 300 dollars and now they're re-releasing these guitars

[@Colt_Funky]

I really want a Palomino

[@rcjoe406]

I have a old ga45sce make them like that again ...I played all the fenders at gc they were just ok to be honest

[@kenobizsoltbense4136]

Can you guys do a review on the new vintage series? I'm really curious about it. My dad had one of those old vintage Fender acoustics and the way I recall it, it sounded awesome. I love the look and if it sounds just halfway decent, I would buy one for sure. Thank you

[@SpartanLaserCanon]

I find it amazing how I think U Bass instruments can sound as good as some bigger guitars.

[@johnmaynard2830]

For this budget I would want an Alvarez first. They do look much nicer in this video than on fender website however

[@leokrissandy5579]

they really have to get rid of that strat style hs and change it with paramount hs

[@braayan03]

The giant headstock looks weird and beautiful at the same time on an acoustic.

[@ismaellima107]

incredibles guitars for a human price! that finish is very important that sound change!! but my gold idea is top nitrocelulose finish and sides :fosco: how say in here and bottom fosco ! that is ferrari!!!!

[@davidf2281]

Been so tempted by a blue Newporter so many times; seem like really cool guitars for the money.

[@kryptonicloser]

The look he got when he said hummingbird in a fender house

[@swordman521]

id like to see them do the angled headstocks on electrics

[@ismaellima107]

this guitar is great! not luthier guitar ! but what the sound!! great volume! its important! great captain! that finish itsv what im prefer! the wood stay open! great crazy rio de janeiro - brasil!

[@Shovel-om7kn]

The jury is in. Piezo pick ups make all acoustic guitars sound equally bad. Semper Fi

[@skalplusmusic]

Awesome Father Your Guitar. Healty Life And God Job.

[@jonjomcnally]

'Quality of life' improvements 🤣. Yank marketing is pure comedy 😂

[@nekkon1989]

Well, not really Martin or Taylor, but they still sound like an acoustic guitar man

[@SuperEdge67]

You’re being polite…….that first one sounded awful, even with Pete playing it.

[@squidsleap]

Give Cici a go on that base!

[@kingstumble]

Narrow string spacing better for beginners? I respectfully disagree. My first acoustic guitar, a Yamaha, had very tight string spacing which I found very difficult to play chords cleanly. Then I tried a friend's guitar with much more generous spacing and it was night and day for me. So much easier to play.

[@ThatOtherAndi]

someone tell me please why piezo systems still sound so fizzy, harsh and unpleasant

[@wilhelmrogue1]

Wow pete you really played the crap outta that G, D run…😂 😂 guys who can only jam on electric look totally lost on acoustics … bahahaha still love ya pete, you ROCK!

[@ChicagoBulls1984]

Why dont these 6 on top headstocks have the string trees or whatever they are called that are always on strats and teles????

[@markusschuster8748]

Omg i wont believe it as an electric guitar player but i wont the blue player guitar 😮😮😮

[@MrDanalaimo]

When will the uke p bass be available in the US? And, if known, price?

[@stevebernard221]

My guess is they don't sound great acoustically since all sound samples were plugged in. Too bad 😞😞😞😞

Might be a venue thing. Who knows. Lol

[@Chemist1076]

What about the paramount series?

[@lewisbeeman]

Man Fender really needs to step their game up with that piezo pickup. Sounds horrible. I mean, the Vintage line sounds a little better but I can buy an Orangewood and get a better produt for my money. Just use a LR Baggs system or something.

[@bobbylove3832]

These are acoustic so why can’t we hear them through a mic and not plugged in? Kinda defeats the purpose.

[@anthonywright6563]

Johnny Cash totally played a Black Malibu in the 60's. 13:52

[@jaskiniamestwa]

The last one has something going on...but I dare any of these guitars to match my basic 10-yo Taylor.

[@11000038]

Infomercial. Maybe I'll try a couple of fender acoustics instead of just walking by. I still don't like the Fender style headstocks.

[@allanscott4140]

I've yet to hear a plug in acoustic that sets the heather on fire for me.

The original king/kingman body shape isn't that curvy like this vintage reissue

P bass uke, that's great :D

[@melvin7914]

Fender....love the electric guitars, but I just can't get used to their acoustics.....they look odd and sound mwaah

[@leonardokula5742]

Classic Lee Anderton comment saying he likes the guitar 'cause it reminds him of the classic hummingbird look while trying to promote Fender lmao

[@mjolnircarlssen4211]

I just can’t get there on these. I’m with the commenters who’ve mentioned shooting for higher-end all solid-wood construction. I don’t want a “cheap” acoustic. I want a good acoustic.

[@rahul371990]

Am I the only one who really dislikes the sound of accoustic guitars plugged in?

Agreed. Never liked it.

Cannot get on with the headstock on these…..I know it’s fender etc etc but I prefer the old hat fender headstock for acoustics

[@Iusedtobeasweetboy]

I had a 1963 fender concert back in mid eighties. Sold it to fund other things. Big regret

[@GuitarsByJordy]

Well..... I really want to like them being a Fender guy, but I just can't. That typical metallic piezo sound is just not that great honestly. I understand they made their own pre-amp piezo system kind of thing, butb there are way better sounding alternatives on the market right now. Also the headstock seems off to me, but thats just aesthetics.

[@sjperry54]

Sorry, but I have to say it…. So, it’s P Uke Bass?

[@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040]

Still waiting for Fender acoustic guitars to catch up, whether old or new. Can you name a single big music 🌟 who uses them? Indeed. Neither can I, and that's why nobody cares about them, like about the rest of makes that are not used by big names.

[@im58woody]

Headstock looks wrong. Fender really doesn’t seem to know what to focus on for acoustic guitar building. That first example from Pete sounded very brittle.

[@ismaellima107]

riuo de janeiro - brasil

[@13coyote13]

Colours suck, that's the reason I haven't bought one of the California series, they're called acoustic for a reason, playing them through an amp to me means they don't actually sound that good. Oh and yes I own 3 Fender acoustics, F15, F35 and a 300ce as well as a Strat.

[@michaeljohnson8058]

Who else is drunk from the “ quality of life “ drinking game?

[@pouyatorkiyan3258]

👍

[@davelowry123]

Honestly I think they all sound gritty and poor .. I don't know if it's the pickups or the amp, but they don't appeal.

[@Tanrichguy]

Let’s play a drinking game with “quality of life”. Oops I have alcohol poisoning

[@Jasper_Yay636]

Piezoelectric pick ups make all electric acoustics suck equally. Tip: don’t try to sell acoustics without microphones only.

[@patrickoneill9659]

Fender acoustic guitars have been so incredibly lacking quality for so many years. I hope this revamp results in something that can compete with the big boys.

[@NeilJ894]

If you can play, the headstock will look great. If you can't pay the headstock will look s**t.

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

2:45 no volute? Players with toddlers or dogs beware.

[@brooklynboy1000]

These are typical of the low bar of quality people who aren’t experienced players will accept and pay a lot of money for. It’s pretty sad. Perhaps only the top tier are decent the rest are freaking toys

[@billyellow4849]

Why do they put the Fender brand on cheap acoustics? Gibson would never tarnish their flagship brand with these.

[@tim_tool_man]

No one is interested in the plugged in tone

[@thelolguy007]

Not with those headstocks 🤦‍♂️

[@pepmasters-999]

To answer the question posed in the title: not really.

[@richyoung7345]

I’m sorry- I can’t get past the goofy looking headstock- they sound great though!- even if the last guitar was a bit out of tune- sorry- x

[@jinbyun]

Fender just don't have a good history of making great acoustic guitars, nor do they own any sub brands that make a good acoustic. FMIC should just sell an electric guitar brand and buy an acoustic guitar brand to get the know-how.

[@BrewPackBuck12]

Six to a side just doesn't work well on acoustics.

[@bsjeffrey]

is it just me or do the pickguards look like they have a little butt on them.

[@kevincrouch3956]

Putting lipstick on the pig doesn't make it any more attractive...how about playing them without the pick-up...you know, as an 'acoustic' guitar????

[@stoneysdead689]

Off topic but I wanted to make sure everyone watching knows Blackstar amps are a huge stinking pile of shit- don't waste your money on them. I was playing my club 40 last night, got up and went to cook something in the kitchen- leaving the amp in standby- came back- it's dead. Won't make a peep. And no- it's not the kind of amp where you can't run it without the speaker or the kind you're not supposed to leave in standby- it's designed to be left in standby. It has digital emulation built into it and to use it, you put the amp into standby. So, you should be able to play whole shows in standby with no issues. I tried plugging directly into the return on the fx loop to bypass the preamp- still no sound no matter what you do. The digital out doesn't even work- nothing. That's a 800 dollar amp man that's now a door stop- never again. I'm selling every pedal and accessory I own and buying a modeler- never going back. If you're wondering- it lasted almost a whole 9 months. Way to go Blackstar.

[@terrybanks5063]

just buy a proper valve amp thats handwired.. then anything goes wrong, 30 mins to an hour on a techs bench and be good as new. ive never had to repair a handwired amp ever. fk digital. and fk printed circuit boards on amps.

@@jeremyrusu9687 Ah- its actually for the best- I can sell all my pedals and have enough to buy a nice modeler and speakers. I'm in my fifties- this is my 3rd tube amp that I would be replacing- time to try something new. I'm bored with it.

[@stoneysdead689]

@@jeremyrusu9687 Just thought you might be interested to know I went with the Headrush MX5 modeler-- and man is this a better setup. I will never go back to playing an amp again. Ppl ask me all the time does it sound better or worse- I'd say it's the same- but the versatility and utility of this modeler is light years beyond the amp. The key was finding the right IR's- and using them correctly. It took about a month to figure out how to do that- but now it's sounds just as good as my tube amp- maybe better on some rigs. I would've never thought that was possible- but I was wrong. It really is about using the unit correctly though- when I first got it, the first 2 weeks- I wanted to cry. It was awful. Everything sounded thin, harsh, fizzy- not good. I did the firmware update, figured out how to use IRs properly- and it's made a world of difference. I honestly would not go back to my tube amp even if I could. The guys who are refusing to embrace this technology have no idea what they're missing.
