I've always wanted to see Ola jam on an acoustic, his dark melodic stuff would translate great into acoustic passages, like Opeth and alike. Metal guitarrists tend to use acoustics in surprising ways, for me at least.

[@richiesguitarshanktuary6923]

I felt that way too. Actually also happened With one of my own songs. Had a sick metal riff and one day I'm playing my acoustic and start playing that riff. Ever since then the whole song became acoustic.

[@Memu_]

​@@richiesguitarshanktuary6923This reminded me of the song Los by Rammstein. Even though the riff is incredibly simple it sounds so much more fun on an acoustic than it ever would on a distorted electric. The same can definitely apply to more complex or more beautiful guitar parts.

Ola has the most practical guitar review on the internet.

[@HailRider]

Last year I bought the strat version. The acoustasonic line is a really good line. Its like having 20 guitars in one with so many different voices. They are very well made and the craftsmanship is excellent. I really like mine. This guitar is versatile and best in hands of a song writer. You definitely could gig with one. They are a blast to play and very smooth in feel. If you are a metal head then it might not appeal to you being a one trick pony. But if you like to play many different styles or enjoy creating songs this is ideal as you can loop and have as many voices going without reaching for a different axe. Would it replace your metal god guitar with floating trem and lock ? Probably not. Yet, there is no denying that this guitar is great playing, incredibly versatile and beautifully constructed.
