Fender Acoustasonic Player - Which should you buy?

[@matthewlocke4589]

Ive got the posher jazz master and its just great to just pickup play and sing along to. It actually sounds great just acoustic not as full as an acoustic but still quit rich. For songwriting its a great tool its light its comfortable I simply use it more often. I have recorded with it on a few tracks and its fine. Though you do notice that the songs you wrote but then recorded on a basic acoustic ( it s a nice sounding but not expensive one ) are richer and fuller in tone. However you can play stuff you just can't play on the acoustic.

The Jazzmaster! I am really happy with how you did the comparison. I had and sold my Telecaster Player a couple months ago. I would prefer the American version of the Jazzmaster but the Player sounds great. Decisions!

[@marcwillett3127]

I'd suggest it's be helpful if the Tele was demod in acoustic settings with the same type of playing done on the Jazzmaster where the parts played were approached as acoustic guitar parts. By contrast technique on the Tele stuff seems "electric" in nature with a harder attack making comparisons difficult. Still informative but I'm looking for a head to head comparison on the acoustic sounds.

Fantastic review! Thank you!

[@danielescudeiro3080]

Great review!!!

[@cathaldalymusic]

Great demo! I prefer the acoustics on the jazz master, but think the electrics on the tele sound more usable. Pity you can’t pick the options

[@ConditionZero76]

Tough choice, I prefer the sound of the jazz but the look of the tele..... 2 questions I have if you wouldn't mind. Possibly a silly question, but what strings are they usuing on this, acoustic or electric strings ? 2nd is this played through an acoustic or electric amp? Great demo 👍🏼 💯

[@saplingwealthmanagement3461]

Did the electric/acoustic strings question get answered? I think the answer is electric, but just wanted to be sure … also, is there a jack to plug in headphones so you could practice is relative silence?

[@holsten5355]

Nope…accoustic strings and no headphone jack but your amp should have one right? 😉

[@2hard2knock]

It’s not just about looks-it’s more about the sound landscape

[@larrysulky7614]

How does the head-dive compare on these two models?

[@guyg2005]

What is the difference in weight and what strings did you use? Thanks for the info. I have been away from my guitar for a few decades and broke out my 1965 Fender Mustang. I like it but my hands are bigger today than when I was 16. Any suggestions.

[@guyg2005]

Which one was the easiest to play? I understand the neck on the Teli is smaller then the Jazz. Is that true?

[@schrenk]

Is there a reason these dont come with a neck pick-up? (Is there any way to make them sound like a Fender?)

[@artemyzolotorevsky5834]

The reason they don't come with a neck pickup is because there is no space for it. And it's a hybrid between electric and acoustic, but since the mostly used pickup is a bridge one, nobody cares for neck in this case. As for the second part of your question... it IS a Fender guitar, because it's in the name: Fender Acoustasonic. You know this, right?..

[@schrenk]

@@artemyzolotorevsky5834 Thanks for the sarcasm.

[@fuzzypoet1018]

It all started with the Danelectro Convertible model. As for the Acoustisonics, I have an American Jazzmaster, and it’s fantastic! Very useful as a studio guitar, and it’s also very good as a bedroom strummer, not plugged in.

[@j.dietrich]

Which should you buy? If you're allergic to the idea of carrying both an acoustic and an electric, then a Taylor T5.

[@officialWWM]

Lol, except no. That thing is wayyyy over priced!

[@jimmydunn7297]

👌

[@officialWWM]

How can you suggest the Jazzmaster over the Tele for country players? Are you even paying attention to yourself!?

[@wildwoodtop]

I have one I'd like to sell 1971 d'18 Martin Sitka spruce 🤟

[@crazyaboutfooty]

Think the jazzmaster sounds better but doesn't look great.

[@eddymcloughlin6651]

Tele every time

[@officialWWM]

Tele every time. That Jazzmaster just looks ridiculous.

[@DaraM73]

None of these shelf warmers. Silliest guitar since the double lute.

[@officialWWM]

Yes. Except, also no. You’re wrong. Your ignorance is showing.

[@xxguitarsamxx]

You ever played one???

[@officialWWM]

@@xxguitarsamxx I own one!

[@DaraM73]

@@xxguitarsamxx yeah. It’s okay to admit your shame in owning one. 😂

[@xxguitarsamxx]

@@DaraM73nothing to be ashamed of when you can actually play it.
