- Fender continue their foray in to the world of acoustic / electrics with their third iteration of the hit Acoustasonic series - introducing the Acoustasonic Jazzmaster! This one could be our favourite yet…
Incorporating the classic curves and comfortability of their Jazzmaster design, this latest Acoustasonic model carries across all of the impressive tech and functionality of their existing models, while taking the opportunity to make some tonal revisions, including a newly designed, proprietary Shawbucker pickup and tweaked voicings for the Fishman acoustic models. The accessible, traditionally-electric neck profile remains, and makes this third Acoustasonic guitar the perfect studio or live tool, for the dedicated electric player who needs to dabble with some quality acoustic tones, while holding on to that familiar Fender feeling.
In this first impressions video, Jack walks through some of the unique features of this new model, including his thoughts on what makes the Acoustasonic platform so usable, flexible and desirable.

14:25 I like that all the big youtubers got this guitar and Jack is just here melting them with some tasty shreds.
Best demo of the Jazzmaster acoustasonic I've heard on CZcams. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏
What a great demo of the JAZZMASTER! Very talented player!! Thanks for the inspiration to practice.
Fabulous playing on a good looking guitar. You make noodling along on the guitar look easy
Great video and a clear and thorough explanation and demonstration of the guitar. 10/10.
Another superb demo video Jack. I love this guitar. When can I come to try it out? Keep up the good work.
The Intro was hypnotic I loved it❤
Outstanding guitar playing and outstanding demo. Thank you a million times. You’re a pro!!!
I really loved your playing and i like the guitar. The Bucker and the blends specifically. I could see myself getting real tribal with it.
Thank you for the demo.
Cheers!
Jack, a brilliant demo, Your playing is superb, love the look of this Fender they have done well.
Love the way you play..and I’m freakin getting one!🤘🏻❤️
very clever piece of kit.... breaks new ground for live performance and it sounds good....
Great playing
Nice thorough video 😎
I think so - the best of both worlds. Nice playing as usual btw
Sounds great 👍
Hearing echoes of both Suzanne Vega and Nuno Bettencourt in there at times. Interesting combo.
Very nice playing
Damn, I need this guitar.
certainly the best demo yet
Very nice!
That is such a cool instrument. I'd love to see a side by side comparison with one of the Godin Multiacs.
Fender have been developing this series for decades now but pick up technology has advanced in leaps and bounds .
I first played an acoustic tele in early 2000 . I remember I had a chance to buy one..when I went back the next day it was sold.
I like the jazz body more for this format for sure tho ...
I really like this conceptually speaking. As I start to downsize my collection I think it could fill quite a few gaps left by the sell off. My only hesitation is how easy it will be to repair in the event something fizzled out electronically? Almost forgot… Jack always kills it.
Great player!
Great playing as always. Not sure the sound is great but I may be missing the point. Perhaps good for someone needing multiple options in the studio?
Thank you for this nice review, good playing and clear review!
For me personally : wish that Fender would do an acoustasonic Baritone.. that could be heaven.. sort of…
WOW!
Definitely a desirable instrument with utility and possibilities.
Could you please tell me what gauge strings are you using and how light can you go without losing the acoustic tone?
Hi cheers great Video; -) how authentic for Home recording do you See the acoustic Sounds. I use und Plugins and could See combining with und Ocean way to get a realistic Sound. Thanks for your Feedback . Love your Channel; -)
What type of amplification are you using on this video?
Did you try it through a Mesa Rosette preamp?
For my purposes, I think I would prefer a piezo bridge on a true electric guitar with dual outputs (or a stereo cable to split at the pedal board) and a floor unit to handle the acoustic model processing and switching. I don't know that I would need 8 different acoustic models switchable on my guitar and only variations of gain on one electric model. Maybe next year's iteration offers two electric pickups (tappable bridge humbucker and neck single) and has separate switching for acoustic and electric tones? This single output system leaves you stuck with less favorable tone with either the acoustic or electric tones depending on your choice (acoustic amp, electric amp, or direct).
What a brilliant idea. I’d love to buy something like that.
Superbe démonstration mais j'aurais aimé savoir s'il s'agit du modèle made in USA ou Mexico ?
Sweet intro to the video. Forgive me if iam mistaken but i thought there was a touch of the eagles.
What kind of strings does it use? Unwound 3rd?
One thing I don't get about all the haters of this is that I believe they think it should sound like a acoustic guitar in front of a very nice microphone. Instead, this is supposed to sound like an acoustic guitar that is plugged in. At best, many amplification systems often sound so-so. This, however, to my ears, sounds like a very nicely balanced and eq'd pickup from an acoustic. Not perfect, but there are so many applications in which this would sound nice. Remember when Ovations first came out? They sounded thin and quacky but everyone rushed out to perform and record with them. Don't rush to judgment.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lovely playing as always Jack, and an eloquent presentation as well...as for the guitar, for me it's "neither fish nor fowl" - which I suppose is the point...unfortunately that leaves it sounding like the cross-pollinated, mutant freak of a guitar that it is - i.e. not so great
fucking astounding playing boss
What strings were use - no squeaking as you slid up and down the neck Were the strings flat wound or flattops? Acoustic or electric?
Straight out of the box standard Acoustasonic factory strings, which I believe are 11-52 acoustic strings!
I received mine today. I got the Tungsten model. It sounds great and is beautiful. The Fender logo on the neck is burned in like a brand. It’s hanging next to my Fender Jazz Bass.
is that color more green or grey, some websites show a green color like military green and some show a greyish color, if its military green thats the one I want
@@jaysonjohnson556 it’s more of a green. That’s why I picked it. Maybe someone was colorblind when they said gray.
Would you say that the acoustic sounds beat out the tele?
Being an offset, how comfortable is it to play sitting down for any length of time? Just asking cos I don't think I have ever actually sat down to play an offset. Thanks
I have an offset jazzmaster electric guitar - in my opinion it’s one of the most comfortable body shapes you can play
I love your hair
Wish I could play that well. I can buy the guitar, but.........
👏👏🎶🎸🎶👏👏
I hope it comes in lefty
I think I have just fallen in lust...
Uploaded at the same time as Anderton's, and with the same title...
Are they really going to issue one standard Fender guitar shape for Acoustasonic line once every year? Lol
@MrMEVgaming Great comment! Worth remembering though they've been re-issuing the Broadcaster since 1950 which has gone quite well for them!
@@DarClaude to me it looks weird, why wouldn’t they release all of these shapes at one time
@@emilxert yeah good point, I expect the boffins have worked out you can sell more of them if you only release one model each year. I've not played one of these and I dont think they sound great from the demos (albeit listening through my phone which is possibly why to be fair), but a mate has the one they brought out a few years back, before the acoustasonic (they've done this idea already and renamed it!) and I've played that unplugged and you know what, even though it looks like a tarts handbag it felt really really great to sit and play on the sofa and I did not want to put it down!
To my ears all I can hear is a harpsichord
like any piezo electrified acoustic
Sorry meant UAD Plugins; -)
How much of that sound is the amp and not the guitar?
None of that sound is the amp, Glyn! It's running direct into our recording interface.
@@PeachGuitars ok thanks
But who are these Acoustasonic series guitars aimed at, rich buskers? They are way over priced, 999 would be a fairer starting point I feel.
I remember seeing countless comments for a cheaper version of the strat when it came out. Then they came out with the exotic ones that were twice the price lol
They are aimed at the same people who buy the Taylor T5. These are exactly the same price as the least expensive T5 model, and were designed by the same person. Perhaps one day Fender will make a less expensive version in Mexico, but considering that the T5 has been in production since 2005 and Taylor has never seen the need for a lower priced Mexican version I seriously doubt Fender will either.
I'm a solo guitar player/singer. I play on Mackinac Island every summer. I loop my rhythms and solo over them. Dinner crowds. I am going to buy either this or an Emerald Virtuo. This would be very handy for what I do.
Too many people miss the point with the Acoustasonic. It is designed for electric players who need to produce a convincing acoustic tone without the hassle of dealing with a true acoustic instrument. I own the exact guitar in this demo (same color, same everything). Playing live, the audience is convinced I am playing an acoustic and that’s all that matters. If I still did studio work the same would hold true. I play it with my electric tube amp through my pedalboard. Easy. It plays equally well through my Walrus ACS1 with no adjustments. Fender hit a home run and it’s a bargain for a working musician at its current price.
and they did just that... The Acoustasonic Player series, made in Mexico. Cheaper, instead of 5 switches, it has only 3.
I can only imagine the bile and ridicule they would have been subjected to if Gibson had put this thing out...
Chet Atkins nylon and steel are highly desirable and were welcomed in their day. Still used by a lot of studio pros. Very rare now.
Not keen on the sound really. Why no strumming, also?
its like a swiss knife, its does everything but nothing well
It seems everybody got one of these. If you want to laugh go to ola's review.
Doesn’t matter how they package this acoustatronic I don’t like it
To my taste ugly guitar
i actually like how this looks but the sound is mediocre at best. tries to be both electric and acoustic at the same time and doesn't do either well enough to justify it's price
I happen to agree that these Acoustasonics aren’t very good at either though this one does sound slightly better than the Strat or Tele versions. However, the price is justified by the facts that they are made in the USA, R & D was a substantial cost, and they have outsold Fender’s original sales goals.
Nice playing but the Guitar? Yuk!
The Jazzmaster is such an ugly guitar though!
Fender pushing this so hard (especially with the “influencer” crowd) sounds like shit
Fender sending this shit to every youtuber on the planet trying to make a sense for this guitar. It sucks, in the look, in the sound, in the feeling, in the playability. The true Fender spirit actually lives only in the Custom Shop. Fender Usa Is dead. Period.
Hate Acoustasonics!😎
