#Andertons #Fender #Acoustasonic - Hudba
Lee’s playing is mesmerizing, Him and Pete compliment each other well bravo 😭
They both just have that indescribable "feel" to them
A better duo than Tenacious D...
@@andertons Well not THAT good!!
@@andertons Maybe a tribute to them....
@@andertons Yes they're Tenacious C-
Captain is throwing out some lovely lead lines. Hats off. Not just nodding, but melody and building things. It's actually really worth listening to! Great!
The most amazing thing about this video is you’re demoing stuff that’s actually in stock!
Stuck with too much inventory for expensive funny looking guitars.
They'll stay in stock too!
Nobody wants them = inventory. Not hard to do the math...
@@jmnasiopulos What? The AS has been hugely successful. When the Tele launched at Winter NAMM 2019, Fender received more orders on day one of the show than they expected to get at global retail in the first YEAR on sale. Andertons said last year that it's been the most successful new model launch they've seen in 20 years, and they sell them in large numbers. Casino Guitars in the US posted a video in which they said it's been hugely popular too. Other vendors have said the same. Hence why Fender added another version each year since it was originally launched.
They're in stock because Fender have increased production after trebling capacity on a dedicated AS manufacturing facility in the Corona factory in order to meet demand.
Never mind, eh? Not hard to do maths, but hard to deal with facts over made up crap.
These are really way cooler than I expected them to be, and I'm glad I watched these two as a first window into this series of guitars. What an enjoyable demo. Well done guys. 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
There I was listening to this while looking away, thinking “nice intro solo Pete” only to turn and see The Captain playing. I think this opening solo is one of the best thugs I’ve heard you play Lee. Really nice!
exact same here
He is a great thug player
Thug? What is that...
I was so excited to hear that Jazzmaster. In the end the Tele offering sounds the best to me.
Perfectly placed picking, Cap! Fit great with the feel of the track. Man's getting better and better!
For the first time ever I loved Lee’s playing more than Pete’s.
And that’s a huge deal to me because I adore Pete’s playing. Great job Lee! Very proud of your growth after watching you for a decade now.
Best guitar related channel on CZcams IMO. These guys are so relatable, clever and downright funny!! Love the vids in these very trying times..
Best video review I've found of these so far! Thanks for the unplugged sound check.
Love watching the weekly "Bromance" between Lee and Danish Pete!
Lee,
Your soloing skills have really been sounding better and better lately. Keep up the great work! Always love watching these videos.
Thanks to following your show, I went to my music store and ordered my telly style. I just love it.
I like the Tele acoustic models most, every sound is usable for me. Actually the strat was worst for me.
Neck dive is the killer for me, the.Tele looks and sounds the best in my opinion.
I have the Tele version, it doesn't neck dive. It's very well balanced, whether standing live or sitting and playing. Great guitar.
Which one neck dives? Man, I am seconds away from pulling the trigger and buying a strat version, but I don’t know about it if it’s neck heavy.
@@averyellis I’ve only played the jazz master, and it had BAD neck dive
I have the Tele and mine is just a little neck heavy. I've been thinking about rigging up some kind if weight on the strap lug to compensate for the light weight of the body. Needs a pound or two.
Neck dive standing with a strap is quite different than while playing seated w/o any strap. The Jazzmaster and Strat both have ok balance while played standing due to the front strap button’s position being closer to the guitars tuners.
amazing video, thanks for all the tests and yeah amazing playing!
I started going with the Jazzer after all the hype but on this vid I’m going more towards the Tele for me.
I agree with Pete, I have the Tele Acoustasonic and I love the sound directly into the board. Also sounds great through my acoustic amp! It does feel right also. Also you guys are my absolute favorite CZcams channel to watch. Just too much fun, thanks!
Do you still like it 2 years later?
Andertons fan here since 2010 while I was looking for a cheap affordable guitar! You guys were/are my heroes on reviews! Miss Chappers man. But videos willl always be quality 😍🤘🏻
I love this tasty intros, Captain Lee and Danish Pete are now part of my list of guitar heroes.
Guys I love the Strat sound, more, I will buy one Thanks guys
Sounding good! Cheers Captain and Pete!!
Thanks for tuning in!
There incredibly talented guys always a pleasure to watch and learn from them. 🎸
Haven't heard Lee play for a while - wow! Nice work - Cheers
Love these type of videos!
We've got plenty more to come!
Great playing from both of you
Nice job boys. Very helpful
I've got it! What I want is Acoustasonic V2 where you can edit and save the emulations you want over USB similar to the Mustang amps.
Thank you for this, gentlemen! Marvelous playing and demos. I brought a Jazzmaster home for two weeks. Tried everything I could think of - Tone Bone preamp, delays, reverbs, 10 band EQ, all played through my usual amps - 2 Fender Acoustasonic 90 watts. I compared it to my Brazilian Morgan OM - (hand built in Vancouver), with a Stage Pro system in it. Also to a much cheaper Seagull Maritime with solid back and sides. ...To say that the settings represent the various guitars that Fender is trying to emulate is like saying oatmeal tastes like chocolate cake. The settings definitely sound "like" acoustic guitars, but they are boxy, muted, and uninspiring guitars. I plugged into real live amps and pedals without the benefit of computer interface/effects. Your sound is great, but take this Jazzmaster outside to a live solo gig, and it sounds like an economy acoustic with a piezo to me. I wanted so badly for it to work for me, and I really enjoyed the humbucker, but it simply can't touch a real acoustic. To me, the Jazzmaster is the "least best" of the three that you demo. I am thinking I might try the Tele, like many others here.
4 days later - spent quite a bit of time with the Tele vs two different Jazzmasters (Yes, they sounded different, but similar). The Tele feels and plays better for me. I think it's simpler (just like a Tele) and doesn't aspire to as much, but it sounds more like an acoustic to me. I can hear the Jazzmaster boxy sound even in this video. It's always there, to my ear.
They're all pretty much the same. They don't emulate anything particularly that well
It’s hard to make a choice but the first video you did with you two demoing the tele is the best video. I’m sure you know that! Both of you did very very well!! If you never did another demo, I’d buy the tele just on what I heard that day! Even though I’m a strat fan.
Bought the strat version just after Xmas from you guys. It’s a fantastic bit of kit to loop with, having the range of sounds at the flick of a switch is always joy inducing. If you want to take more of my money, a vid showing these off with some choice pedals would be ace!
I was listening from an angle that I couldn't see the screen. 3 times I came around to see which one Pete was playing cause it sounded so nice. Each time it was the Tele. So it gets my vote.👍
I have had the strat version for 2 years and I am amazed by the versatility, usually don't even feel the need to plug it in but have a Fender GTX100 when I do. In this comparison the jazzmaster has a tin sound. The tele is close but strat is amazing. I sold all my other guitars,
Just ordered the Jazzmaster... in that blue. Excited!!
Thanks for the comparison. I’ve been curious about side by side shootout on the 3. Gotta agree with Pete and like the tele...luckily the one I have. Jazz master does look good in blue. Hole in strat bothers me too.
I think I'd pick the Jazzmaster, I loved the fact the Auditorium sound was in the same position and blendable with the body sensor :)
Absolutely love this range. Would love to have any one of them, but I think soundwise I'd love the strat the most. But Pete makes an excellent point about the ergonomics.
If these things ever get a more affordable version, I'll be all over it.
get a mop and a bit of string.
Maybe one day... We talk about this at the end of the video
@@andertons Pete made the very same point I made in the Jazzmaster debut vid. It will never be a $200 Squire release, but if they got it down to $599.99 vs: $1,500 through greater mass production of the electronics with Fischman and use of cheaper wood. Maybe even laminate body instead of solid wood, I could swallow that a lot easier. Regardless, what they're making now IS worth every penny in my eyes, but if you just flat can't afford to own a Ferrari, you don't buy it and that's where a lot of people are with this thing...
@@andertons A Mexican 24" scale Mustang Acoustasonic, maybe?
when i first saw it, i was like..hmmm interesting...6-700, maybe ill get one...lol.
Aesthetically I like the Tele more, it's single electric pickup is like an Esquire so it makes sense to me. The Strat is really off to me to look at, just wish it had two more I guess. Sounds wise I like them all, really impressed with the tech that went into these.
I agree completely.
What I like about the Tele is that all the models are musical. Not all music styles work on each model, but each model fits at least a few different styles.
Brilliant fun Guy’s many thanks to you, and for the Brian may guitar Andertons supplied to me recently it’s fantastic , cheers to you all love the CZcams vids 👍🏻🏴🎸🎸🌈
Hi guys!. I just have to finally tell you how much I do love your Acoustasonic videos, all of them!. Because they are so honest. Such good energy and nice internal discussions. love it! I watched all of them several, several times. I do sometimes a "blind hearing" of the videos. I personally own an Acoust. Telly since the first release. I live in Germany and had to wait 3x months after my purchase, they were already sold out the day I bough it (within the first month of its release) I play it over and over. Absolutely fan of it. My bandmates ob both bands, the acoustic and electric band are happy with it.
I have a suggestion for another Acoustasonic video. What about doing something similar like in THIS video, BUT, instead of comparing the specific positions 5A or B aganist each other, comparing better the same type of "sound voice". or "intended sound for" (like this small body type does not exist in that guitar but its intended for big strumming etc). For example all Rosewoods Dreadnought/Jumbo etc or all Mahoganys. I dont think such Video is online... Thank you guys!
Tele would suite the bill for me. I play in a “hybrid” acoustic duo. (Multi instruments) I never thought twice about these instruments until I viewed this video. Very, very intriguing!
Best I’ve seen from Lee. Well done!
I’m slightly annoyed that Lee’s playing has gotten so good that I don’t feel like I can catch him anymore. 😜
After watching and listening to a few vids of the three way comparison, the Tele has always won with my ears. It wins in every video I've seen without exception. Fender has really got something here and hopefully, I will be owning one soon. Thanks for this great video, guys!
I've been lucky enough in my 76 years to amass a lot of guitars, including a LP Custom, Custom Tele, an American Strat and a Martin.I play with a group of friends a couple of times a week and things get a bit loose (beer) towards the end of the evening. I don't want to take any of the above but I'm happy just to take the Tele Acoustasonic. It isn't as good as any of the above but its ok. One minute we're playing some Everlys stuff, then a bit of Folk, and then Sweet Home stuff. This thing does just about everything at the flick of a switch.
Tough one! Sometimes the strat sounded most dope, sometimes tele and the full acoustic on jazz is sweet, but I think the tele will be my baby one day!🔥🔥🔥
It certainly is its own thing. I briefly played one of the telecaster ones. I can see myself liking it for gigs in practical terms. But I think I’d want an acoustic instead after a while.
Thanks to your comparisons I've finally made up my mind to purchase the Tele. I currently play a Fender Strat & a Taylor Acoustic electric, as well as a PRS SE acoustic electric. The closest guitar I can get to the sound of a combination of all three of these guitars in one guitar is the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster.
Great video! Thank you for putting the sound of each side by side. I was in awe with the Jazzmaster 'cause it looks great (and because of the video where Lianne La Havas tries it) but in here, I think I like the sounds of the Telecaster!
The Tele is my pick. The acoustical tones just sound the most authentic to me. I just can’t see paying that much when I have other great guitars already.
same here, the tele is more robust and enriched.
I’m so thankful for this review and demo! Visually I prefer the Jazzmaster. Tonally, I liked both the Jazzmaster and the Tele. The one thing that I find a little offputting is that the color of the forearm bevel is so different from the color of the top. There’s something so perfect about the outer body shapes of all the Fender guitars, and this little strip disturbs it. I think it’s why I’m most drawn to the “Butterscotch” color of the Telecaster-it is the one colorway where the color of the strip and the color of the top are most similar. I do appreciate why Fender added that bevel, though.
So glad I got the Tele! On the strength of this comparative demo, it comes across as overall best, though the Strat & Jazz Master trump it on a sound or two here & there. EQ & effects will surely make up any slack, as they’re all pretty similar sounding (and pleasing) to the ear….
Lee - you just became my guitar hero with that intro!
I'm with Pete though. They all sound distinctly different to me. It's the Tele version all the way for me as well. The high end resonance is so much more defined (followed by the Strat, and the Jazzmaster just sounds muffled/muddy to me). Mod A, Voice 4, Maple Small body on the Tele was the absolutely the clincher for me. Damn, I love that tone.
Great feedback about it being a tool for someone who needs access to both an acoustic and an electric. I have a rack with acoustic and electric for changing out. I would definitely consider using an Acoustasonic instead of swapping guitars in between songs. The problem I have at this point is exactly what Lee said when stating that it's not the best at either job. I have a Fender Ultra Strat and a custom made Larrivee with an Anthem pickup in it... I'm just not willing to give up the beautiful tones of either at this point... otherwise... I'd have one of these. If the technology gets better and the tones get better... I'll be in.
Strat. Just got one. It’s killer. Makes me want another one (perhaps the Tele). One day, I hope to make it to Anderton’s. You guys are the best!
Great playing Capt. Lee and Danish Pete!! Tele all day everyday :)
Acoustasonic Blindfold challenge next 🤔???? Is that even possible hahha
Jazzmaster for me: shape + fuller sound. I use a strap with mine so I haven’t noticed any ‘neck dive’ - indeed, I find it to be a nicely balanced guitar with great output when noodling unplugged, and great sounding choices when plugged in.
The Jazzmaster's position 5 Dreadnought modeling seems the most convincing to me - seems to have the most 'space' areound the low end, and 'shine' on the high end. For a player who gets coloration out of where the string is struck (as well as other sorts of touch-sensitive aspects of acoustic coloration), the Dreadnought modeling on the Jazzmaster provides the biggest sonic landscape upon which to play with those possibilities - just like a great big D-style acoustic. I chose the Jazzmaster because it was convincing when a Fender engineer said the large size of the body gave them more acoustic energy to work with. After hearing this shootout, I'm glad I chose the Jazzmaster (although I agree with Pete about the neck-heavy neck dive aspect (so I just use a strap)). Great shoot, guys - thanks!
Hey - I have all 3 of these guitars in these same colors, haha! They are all fabulous guitars. I like the Jazzmaster the best for its fuller, louder acoustic tone and slightly larger body plus its more overdriven humbucker option, but they're all pretty freakin' awesome.
I agree I love teles and strats and not a fan of electric jazzmasters but to me the Jazzmaster was just so much fuller than the other two.
This is what Xmas will sound like 😀
I'd love to see fender offer these as 'artist edition ' models.
Peter buck, bob mould and frank black have decades of experience to dial into the voicings.
Beautiful!
I would absolutely love you guys to do a video on the Cole Clark humbucker series! I think Pete would have a blast with them.
Would LOVE that tele!
Definitely getting some Bread and Boz Scaggs vibes there.
Gee, Thanks guys you did it again! I was trying to justify buying one of these, and now I'm going to have to buy all THREE! If i can't retire because i own too much gear, it's Lee and Danish Pete's fault! :-)
That’s funny I’m in the same boat,I bought one today
Excellent review and comparison. They all sound nice but I liked the Telecaster sounds the best for coffee house acoustic gig situations with the Jazzmaster being a very close second. The Strat would be third. The Tele looks the best to me too. YMMV!
Boys, loved this vid as all your vids on gear. Checked this one again with good on-ears on, and, yes, the three do sound differently, distinctively. Had an Acousta-Tele in the studio and tested it vs. more regular acoustic, electro-acoustic and electric guitars from very cheap up to 'jewels' that average dudes wouldn't buy... and... guess what... in the mix and/or band context it'd been extreeeeeemely hard to tell which sound was which. Some post production/mastering added, and it had got even harder. Without having given proper notes you literally won't tell one from another... and much to my surprise, the lovely Tele-thing cut well through in any of the 10 settings. So, got to like that versatile toy sound wise and for the ease on amplifying and/or recording.
Good job, boys. Being a MOR singer/pop-rock player, I could probably live with the Tele one with mild overdrive for the occasional solo. You did a very comprehensive video of all three models on all of the 1-5 pup positions and A-B settings. The Tele model just seemed to have the acoustic tones that really caught my particular ear with its classic wood combinations, richness of tone and presence, although it sounded thinner than the Jazzmaster unplugged, no biggie. Others might differ in their opinions, no doubt. I guess I would have to try it with some pedals or on my tube amps with dirty channels to see if the feedback factor would douse the dream or be controllable, ha. I like the dual body contours of the Strat and Jazzmaster, but I think the thin-line aspect of the Tele body with its integrated forearm contour, compared to a full size acoustic, would nonetheless likely seem very livable/comfortable on stage. Also, the classic rounder body shape of the Tele upper bout and butt, and its diminutive headstock somehow looked more symmetrical and acoustic guitar-like to me also. I think it would just look more natural onstage for someone like me, who plays a little pop-rock, but came from a folk and singer-songwriter background mostly. The color options are a bit limited, but livable. The other two are real cool also in their own ways for various genres. The Tele just seemed the one for me.
I absolutely loved the Telecaster's acoustic abilities! And with just enough crunch to contrast the dreadnought on the other end of the spectrum, this guitar would be a beast for looping!
I keep saying...another intro tune for the Cap and Dane album! I'll buy copy #1.... great, musically sound expression guys! I want all three at 30% the cost. Just can't do otherwise.... Thanks!
This was such a concise, efficient review of all three of these guitars, back to back. Gotta say on the whole headstock weight distribution thing, though..... Do we just uhh... NOT talk about the SG anymore? That shit does literal FLIPS if you let it go: standing or sitting. Violence. Thank you so much for the comparison! Definitely saved myself some money (jazzmaster +12 or 13 electric strings will undoubtedly provide the perfect balance of sound and versatility, in my very humble opinion)
Great video, always fun to see you put some guitars to the test.
But....please could you move the decibel meter from half behind a plant?! Its been bugging me for ages :)
This pushed me over the edge, just ordered the turquoise Jazzy...arrives friday..offft
I play Electrics and have been wanting to get an acoustic; the Jazzmaster Acoustasonic popped up in my email because I'm subscribed to Fenders Emails ^-^ really cool guitar concept, I really want one now 😅
I felt that the Tele was the best because it was unique but it also was close to the Jazzmaster on the tones. Plus that maple small body was great.
Beautiful intro.
saweet! I will say if you're writing ( literally using pencil and paper -- songwriting) and especially if you write left handed, (I play the guitar the "normal" way...left hand on the neck) the fact the tele doesn't spin off to the left is great! It's always been a peeve of mine I'm dinging up my guitar when I'm in writing mode. AND, same deal if going between guitar and keys - have to leave the guitar "unattended" in my lap when hands are on the piano. So bonus points for tele! 🙂. Yay! - plus Switching to electric mode, I actually think the tele electric mode had more bite than the strat (if what I hear on yer awesome video is accurate)...plus I got 5 strats to choose from if I want hard core electric strat LoL :-) .GReat comparison guys. This is exactly what I needed to see and hear. That woosh? Me scramming out the door to guitar center... 🙂
They’re all three very lovely guitars, but the Jazzmaster calls to me personally. Great playing guys!
As a lefty there’s only one option at the moment for me if I was going to get one (not by choice). But the thing I worry about is how future proof the battery is and if it’s a commercially replaceable option?
The Jazzmaster (with a Telecaster) is Julian Lage IMO. Could you invite him and talk about guitars, that would be awesome!
LEE KILLED IT! I’m so proud
You guys have thrown me. Want a strat, but I like the acoustic of the tele and the distortion of the jazz.... I guess the strat is in between.
I bought the Jazzmaster based on what you said when it was introduced. But visually I'd go for the Tele. I hope that's helpful. Simon T
Might be the tastiest licks I've heard the Capt play. Bravo Sir.
Defo
I think the strat looks way better in the other colors. Sonic blue is my favorite. I like the tele sounds and options best. No rosewood dreadnaught on the strat is a miss IMO (and the blue strat is the one I own.) love it as a couch guitar, and you can play it into the Mustang micro studio pre-amp setting - works well
The Jazzmaster sounds best across the board. Looks bitchin', too.
The value I see in the Acoustasonic Player Tele is its relatively affordable price, so it can be my travel guitar for which I wouldn't cry my eyes out if it broke or got stolen. Then it's fine for couch noodling, even singing quietly or - plugged into the aux of a good Bluetooth speaker, even sing along normally to. It can be the perfect guitar recording tool on the road, and if you need to perform in a pub, you're covered again! So, versatility! You see, since I'm not a pro musician and don't travel somewhere specifically to perform, I'm not going to fly abroad with my Fishman Aura Ellipse-equipped Gibson J-45 Gala which costs 2.5 times as much as a Mex Acoustasonic. Fab review and playing - a real treat as always!
This is the best shoot out available.
Beautiful work guys.. I long to see the same comparison within the Player versions, which of course more people can afford. The question is, how big is the compromise.... ?...
Great compar-o video! The telejazacastostrater is clearly the best. But seriously, since I own the Telecaster model, I think it's the best, at least for me. It has the acoustic sounds I find most appealing and I just have a thing for the Tele shape. Maybe it's a mental disorder, I don't know. I wish I could get reparations from Fender for my Tele addiction (I own 5, including the acoustasonic). Comparing them unplugged is a study in which one sucks less than the others - but they all are a bit suck-y until you plug them in.
I´d pick the PRS SE HollowbodyII Piezo. Yes the piezosound needs a tool like the Zoom AC3 to moddel a good sound. But then it´s outstanding.
For me it's the Tele, just love the tones coming out of it. I have a TON of electrics but not a single acoustic in my collection. Never was comfortable with the necks or big bodied guitars. This is the answer but the cost was way too high. Glad I waited it out as I was able to get one brand new for half off due to slow sales. People love these or hate them, I love it but I can see why the cost pushed buyers off. I'll be happily playing mine for years just glad I had patience.
I like the idea, and prefer the Tele, but I would really want a tone control, particularly for the electric sounds.
I would LOVE to see fender do an import version of these for say 7/800 quid, perhaps with the same specs but made abroad and with just and electric setting, body sensor, and maybe 2 good acoustic settings, no build in drive and 8 different acoustic etc. I would buy one to gig in a heart beat
Hey Lee for Pete’s birthday next year have one painted purple👍😎
Nice presentation guys, helpful. Listening remotely, I came away acoustically with the Tele being fuller and the Strat and Jazzmaster kind of a mid-range honk that is a little artificial. Electrically, I definitely felt the Tele shines. Probably because of my playing style. Electrically, the Tele could be still a good Nashville chicken pickin' wonder as well. I was hoping the Jazzmaster might be a good acoustic/electric blend for jazz solo. Ummm, not sure it's worth it for that. thanks again.
I bought the jazzmaster. I tried the telecaster when it first came out, but passed. I can’t put it down and I’m glad I got it.
I'm going to have to watch this again with headphones
