Pushing A Fender Acoustasonic To The Limit! - Can It Indeed, DO IT ALL?!

[@mattwebster2831]

Correction, just in case people would like to know: Tim Shaw did not invent the humbuckers with Gibson back in the 1950’s. That was Seth Lover. Tim Shaw worked on the reissues in the 1980’s. No hard feelings, I’m sure that was what he meant to say.

I'll be honest, I've been eyeing the American Acoustasonic Telecasters for a while. I've played a few of them in a Natural finish. I have nothing bad to say about the American Acoustasonic Telecaster at all. A very good all rounder. I've got a friend who doesn't like them meaning it's the 1 thing me and him will disagree on. I plan to buy one, not to wind him up, but to 1: show him they are actually worth the money and 2: Have it as my main Guitar. If anyone reading this is on the fence about them, I say try them out. You will not be disappointed. Yes they're expensive, but think about it as if you're actually buying 10 Guitars for the price of 1.

I’ll be honest, I only watch this channel because Dagan has charisma and style and can play very well. He usually plays through expensive amps which is where my investment ends. I can’t afford to plonk down $1,000+ on an amp. There’s so many other things to spend money on. I’d rather take my Fender Frontman 20G and put a new speaker in it, like the Jensen C8R. Boom, new sound for less than $50

The Acoustasonic Jazzmaster has been an on-sight purchase for years for me the second I can scrounge up the near grand i'd need. This only further solidifies it as a need, not a want.

[@IamMusicNerd]

To get a more cutting electric sound, I switched the strings from acoustic strings to electric strings. Easier to bend the strings as well, and sounds more like a normal electric.

[@patrickd1805]

play billy gibbons 7 to 38

[@chriscuthbertson]

I was wondering if you could use one to do a Hetfield switch between acoustic and electric in a song

[@BigIronTexas]

I have one of the Jazzmaster versions in shell pink and have to say, I really like it. For me a guitar only has to check three boxes: 1) it sounds good 2) it feels good 3) looking at it has to make me want to play it ....and the acoustisonic hits that trifecta. 🤙

[@TheSoundofForgetting]

Honestly I just watched it for Dagan and wish he could be straightforward about what he REALLY thinks but understand he has a job and would like to keep it and being a decades old musician myself I just can’t see me with one especially given the sounds even on video with KZbin compression but also playing one in guitar center and just couldn’t get into it. It does have some advantages but it’s the tones and everyone is different and every amp. I will stick if I am doing an acoustic song I will pull out my Taylor and rock the song old school then to mess with one of these..and may be dumb but just DO NOT like the look of these but the neck is nice. Keep rocking Dagan🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻

[@Arcangel_D]

Watching you play the Jazzmaster humbucker version through the Randall, I can almost picture James Hetfield coming onstage with one to rock out and seeing Kirk Hammett's reaction of that guitar in Metallica absolutely stunned. 🤣

[@aluminati9918]

Excellent Demo! Tele through Vox sounded especially good! As a band frontman with varying duties during a set, I can easily see myself with this.

[@sanjsurativideo]

A NEW LEVEL!!!! OF CONFIDENCE AND POWER!!!!! 🤘

[@Wombles_Wanderings]

I've got the Acoustasonic Tele Player. It's a Mexican and the finish of the back plate is shocking. But I do love playing it. It's Ideal for taking away in the motorhome.

[@Fallub]

Great video. And very interesting tones for sure.

[@adiohead]

That Randall sounds awesome! Makes me want to start a 90s metal band.

[@martinspreiter8240]

I did had a eye on theese, but at last I did take the PRS SE Hollowbody II Pierzo. I love it.

[@MattSwain1]

I’ll have to try one in-store at some point. Despite loving metal I find I mostly reach for my acoustic guitar. I suspect I’m going to be disappointed by these guitars if they’re played completely unplugged, not because they’re bad, just because you need a bigger body to sound good without an amp. I do like what Fender has done with these guitars but maybe for now I might be better off with a really nice electro-acoustic guitar instead

[@morshcsgo]

what 3rd party pickup is in the bridge of that iceman? looks clean af

[@brockvond1967]

I own the Tele Acoustasonic in Butterscotch. Have to say I use it for gigs on a few songs. One example is we play heavy versions of Taylor Swift songs. Its great to bounce between the acoustic intros and verses of "Love Story" and "We Are Never Getting Back Together" to the heavy crunch choruses using only one guitar into my Orange Rockerverb .... Several people have commented how flawlessly the transition is using an "acoustic" guitar.

[@RaggedRomeo]

Happy New Year Dagan, thank you and PMT (snigger) for your output!

[@fistovuzi]

rule number one of naming your business. if you are going to use an acronym, GOOGLE IT FIRST.

[@colboysigmax]

A big part of guitars for me are the looks and honestly these things just look like plastic accessories for the "Guitar Hero" game. Sounds appear to be fine but I'd recommend an old Line 6 Variax 700 if you want an wide range of sounds from top quality and good looking electric. As I said looks mean a lot to most guitar players as much as sounds and for me the Iceman on the wall has it all!!

[@tetrodotoxin9782]

I want a jim root acouzta sonic 😂

[@sebastiangomezmusic]

One thing no one has tried yet is does it work with nylon strings? And are there nylon strings out there that can be made to work with the mag pickup? Something magnetic enough?

[@magnaveradaboi]

I was distracted by the Iceman for this entire video 😆

[@JTB--]

Tried US and Mexico Acoustasonic's and neither grabbed me for the Acoustic stuff. Got the Fender Mahogany Highway Parlor and love it.

[@iananslow494]

I have a telecaster acoustersonic and absolutely love it

[@drdoscacciato6555]

Dagan are the strings on the Tele acoustic strings or did you put electric strings on it? Thanks

[@bradhempel3503]

Awesome video! I saw your tutorial on 80s hair metal and was wondering if you’d be able to post a tutorial on some 80s pop rock and power ballad solos like baker street or danger zone. Thanks for all the awesome content. Keep up the good work

[@tubetime345]

From what I can hear, the acoustic sound sounds exactly how it looks. Maybe I could spiff it up with a boss ge-7

[@aydenmcfly1362]

Ive wanted the jazzmaster acoustasonic since day 1

[@bukwok]

4:25 captain lick.

[@tragically1969]

Hell yeah, more Dimebag chops please!

[@o0Vissers0o]

Do they have a version with a small scale length ?

[@patrickd1805]

no

[@o0Vissers0o]

to bad, thanks for the reply tho !@@patrickd1805

[@SunnyAdams]

I play a Mexican Acoustasonic. It sounds best, electric and acoustic tones, through a PA or similar. A Roland CUBE sounds good without the modeling in the CUBE, but directly into a PA sounds great, not guitar amps. I think of it more as an electric option for an acoustic guitarist, as the guitar plays more like an acoustic with a thin neck due to using acoustic strings. The tension on the strings feels like an acoustic.

[@jasongoad1084]

Lets talk about that Iceman!!!

[@bert_b13]

I think the jazzmaster sounds the best acoustically, bigger body.

[@bukwok]

im think what if ditch the whole acoustic stuffs ,change the bridge to normal hardtail bridge , in theory it suppose sounds more like electric guitar right.? or still same ? then throw some old underwear into sound hole , completely full and seal the hole , should sounds like electric..? is mainly the sound hole make the guitar not very electric , i want to try , but never own this type of guitar , anyway ,in video even switch off acoustic , select the only electric , it still feels like always blend in acoustic sounds ,i really hope they make a squier version , probably never anyway , if they make squier version, means no one buy made in Mexico version , people only pick full fat USA or cheapest far east made i guess.

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

Acoustasonic? Is that actually a word?

[@Dyshof]

Sounds good...but the looks....

[@oscarguzman6579]

Those guitars look so ugly to me it makes them sound even worse. Does that make sense?

[@davessparetime83]

These are a compromise of everything, but do nothing real good in any area. That Humbucker needs to be replaced by a Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker.
