Can the acoustic side be used without an amp unplugged while chilling on the couch?

[@riphopfer5816]

The crunch sound is cool-when I was 15/16I used to intentionally run my standard acoustic-electric guitar through the distorted channel of my Fender tube amp , with wah, compression, delay, and reverb, because I played in an acoustic psychedelic rock trio. One of these would’ve been bloody handy in those days, with the Tele pickup, as I played lead.

[@jameshawkins4514]

25 years ago I ran into a guy playing for tips in a small Reno bar. He had a cheap acoustic a boss multi effects unit (also on the cheap) and a keyboard amp. Music is it in the fingers never made as much sense as it did watching the guy perform a solo show comprised of rock blues and R&B.

My favorite thing about the acoustasonic (and the highway series parlor and dreadnaught) guitars is the thin body. It’s as thick as an electric guitar instead of a deep body acoustic which is just hard to play on stage. I also like the necks better, easier to play

[@delightunderstanding]

Ryan, I have an MIA Tele that I use for playing at church. 99% I use the acoustic settings, positions 3-5, switching between them depending on the song; we have an electric player so I tend to avoid positions 1 & 2. And I'm not too keen on the electric sounds on the guitar in general; don't know if it's because of the pedals I'm going through, strings (as you point out) or amp (we go DI at church. I like the variety of sounds and have received a lot of positive comments. The one setting not available on the MIM is position 3, the percussion setting, which I really like to get the enhance harmonics acoustically. I was adverse to the guitar when I first saw them -- thought they were a gimmick --, but one of our other guitarists bought it for me (he already had one) and have grown to love it for it's playability and sounds. Great demo by the way!

[@dan.miller35]

I think what this does is it makes the Acoustasonic more appealing. I think it's main market is people who gig with both an electric and acoustic and want to make doing so much easier. This means you don't have to run an A/B setup with different amps or an amp and PA or whatever. By lowering the price point, it makes it easier to justify.

[@brianphelps1183]

I would use it more as an acoustic. I think Fender made a good choice doing this I know couple of people who liked the MIA but refused because of price.

When the MIA version was first released it had everything that I needed for the solo act I was doing, but the price point was just too high. That's when I stumbled upon the 2010 Acoustasonic Tele which I think completely flew under the radar due to its poor reception on the market. I wish some of these comparison videos would relate back to that earliest concept of this guitar. It truly is phenomenal and does everything I need without all the bells and whistles of these most recent models. Apparently it was before it's time.

Good review. Probably the most in-depth so far. I ordered the same one and can’t wait for it to arrive. I play covers, mostly strumming, on an acoustic jumbo but want some more versatility in my sound. I’m not into pedals so this seemed like a great option. Thx 😊

[@picksalot1]

I like it. I've seen some older videos and one recent one of the Acoustasonic, and they all seemed to stuck on the thin, quacky Piezo pickup sound. This is the first video I've seen that the Acoustasonic sounds much better than just passable. I think it actually sounds pretty good and musically inspiring. There is still some work to be done on the EQ, as the highs are a bit too thin. I think the solution is to boost the highs, then filter off the some/most of the "presence" range frequencies. I think it would be advantageous to have a tone knob, though I was pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of the Blend knob. I think Fender is on the right track with the Acoustasonic. It looks very good and Ryan did a good job demoing it. One other thing. It has a bolt on neck, and the guitar could double as a full size "travel guitar" if the headstock was a bit shorter. The full length of the neck on my Strat is 26 inches, so I imagine the Tele is about the same. The airplane carry-on luggage length restriction is 22 inches where I live. If the headstock was a couple inches shorter, an un-bolted neck would probably fit "diagonally" in a carry-on suitcase along with the body. I think that would be very cool. 😎

Ryan, this is probably the best review I’ve seen you do! I really appreciate your candid thoughts on how you would use this guitar. Great job 👍 My wish with Fender is that they would improve the electric pickup options on these hybrids throughout the line. I don’t think they have nailed the sounds of their current choices. Maybe use a real looking pickup without the plastic look. Also, I would love to see them give us the option for humbucker pickups on the Strat and Tele models. I do think the acoustic modeling is done well. What do you think about my suggestions?

[@terryenglish7132]

Piezos seem to work best clean rather then overdriven, but extreme distortion works surprisingly well. You get a crisp percussive good sounding attack then a nice singing tone. Something like the Shark, taste it, or a Rat would be good.

[@OuchMyHooves]

Love the Jane's Addiction cover during the intro

[@fingersmike]

Still not sold on these. I am leaning towards a Line6 Variax. I love Fender and am glad they are reaching out of the comfort zone but just don't think they got this one just right yet.

Variax is definitely the way to go. Same price as these and you get all these sounds and lots more.

[@nosir5596]

Really feels like this could be nice paired with a pod go or other modeler so you can kick it over to the electric pickup and have an actual patch for that. Could be a cool, versatile church guitar or something in that context. Definitely like the price point better than the MIAs, I don't think pushing two grand is a good fit for something so weird and niche. Would've loved to see one for under $1000 but that probably isn't realistic with what everything costs anymore.

[@60CycleHumcast]

Yeah that would be smart, some patches for acoustic and others for electric.

[@nosir5596]

@@60CycleHumcast That's already how I roll w/ my church setup so it would basically just mean not having to have an a/b switch and juggle instruments from song to song, especially since church electric guitar is suited to that tele pickup style tone. If these had dropped back when we were getting stimulus checks I almost definitely would've picked one up.

[@mcdingus5081]

I don't know if you've ever tried this, but it's not hard to negotiate a 20% discount from a dealer on guitars like this- especially Fenders. That puts it at $960. Gee, I wonder how I know this?

When you get into the noise stuff, you remind me a little of Einstürzende Neubauten. You have a very good instinct for noise music.

[@scottbecker3485]

As an owner (and sometimes lover) of the original U.S.-made model (as a Tele), I appreciated your sound samples of the new one vs. your Jazzmaster. Valuable input for everyone interested in this. Adding my two cents‘ worth (also on the basis of two other videos I‘ve seen of the new model): I‘d say the new, cheaper, Mexican-made version is actually better (!) in terms of the basic acoustic sounds it offers - better as in „more realistic and woody“. The models used on the original model never really grabbed me. Will be glad to qualify that opinion if anyone wants to know. If you can live with fewer sounds (well, basically only with 2 acoustic sounds, but being able to blend them as needed), you‘ll maybe like the simulations more on this new model. As for the electric sounds, I also prefer their choices on the new model, though I find them slightly lacking in the treble/twang regions - i.e. they‘re a bit muddy to my ears. But running this into pedals, that shouldn‘t be a problem at all. As for the piezo-only sounds - interesting, but I‘d probably only be into the dirtier of the two, or maybe as a blended signal leaning more to the dirty one. And the missing body sensor pickup? Don‘t care about that because I‘m not really a percussive player, nor do I find that setting too useful live. Sure, it sounds woodier than the others, but it‘s also a bit boomy and somehow a bit nasal, and must be dosed with caution. I wonder how the electric sounds would be when run through a Fender Mustang Micro? That might make a killer setup for a bit of electric guitar in an otherwise acoustic set.

[@robbymayer5987]

I noticed right away that the cheaper acoustasonic has a fatter almost humbucker type tone on the electric settings. Probably still good for someone that can't afford the extra 900 bucks for the other acoustasonic but to my ears I definitely prefer the more expensive electric tones.

[@robbymayer5987]

That being said I'm looking forward to different iterations of the cheaper version and may end up buying one eventually... I like having the option of the 9 volt battery and I like the price point also lol

[@scottbecker3485]

@@robbymayer5987 Totally get you on the electric tones (old vs. new). Just wanted to add that I sold my American Tele version for a couple hundred more than the price of the Mexican version, and then purchased the Mexican version. That‘s how much more I liked the acoustic tones on it, despite whatever the electric tones are. That said, I only got it this morning and only had the chance to play it unplugged for a couple minutes, so no impressions of the modeled sounds yet. Feels almost identical to the American version, but the unplugged sound is actually somewhat different, as in a wee bit louder/fuller. This surprises - and delights - me! :-) Don‘t know if that‘s because of different woods used, or perhaps they might have changed some of the inner grouting or bracing in the meantime, since my American one was from way back when these first hit the market. Oh, and my American one was in the Natural finish, vs. Brushed Black on my new Mexican one. At any rate, I like the black better, and can‘t wait to put this baby through its paces soon.

I have wanted an Acoustasonic Tele since the day they came out..Even having never played one..I knew off the bat that just the body size was something I was more suited for as I have back issues. I was not likely to be able to afford the MIA as here in Australia they’re around or over $3000. And then the MIM was released..And thought we’ll that’s a bit more affordable? Still held out a little as it was still pricey and I hadn’t managed to get my hands on one to play. Then..My local store happens to get a MIM in the finish I was after..Not only did I high tail it to the store..Played it and loved it…I immediately put down the deposit and have set about selling off my 3 other acoustics and 1 electric to cover the cost!! I’m now waiting anxiously for them to sell so I can bring her home! 😍🎸🤘🏻

You know, I don't understand why Aussies are always complaining about the prices of things over there compared to the US are so much higher. It's not true- you just aren't speaking the same language when it comes to "dollars". An Australian dollar is not the same as a US dollar. It's like us trying to compare our prices to UK pounds- only nobody ever does that because they are called "pounds" instead of "dollars", thats all.

Hi All. I just picked up a brand new butterscotch MIM acoustasonic for $500 on Reverb through Franklin guitars. Great transaction. They actually answer the phone and talk with you about questions you might have before the purchase. So far I think its the most fun guitar I have purchased for the price. Love how light it is and the neck feels really good. I would like to coax a slightly fatter jazz tone out of this guy. Anyone have any experience with settings I might have missed or possibly swapping out the neck pick up for a humbucker in a single coil size? Let me know your thoughts.
