I have a Villager, a Shenandoah, and one I pieced together from a Shenandoah body and a Villager neck.

and considering the aesthetic looks, I prefer the T-5.

I bought my T5 the week they hit the stores. It’s a thousand dollars more for the same guitar now! Hope that happens with the Acoustasonic too and then some!

Ugh. I just checked the Fender site, and the nut width is 1.6875" (42.86 mm). If they don't wind up offering up a wider version, they will have chased away a lot of players, including me.

A previous incarnation by Fender. Not as Swiss army knife but I like simplicity.

It does nothing for me however I imagine Taylor Swift will be holding one on stage soon.

This is intriguing, I hope to get the chance to review one of these...

Anyone who's made the Telecaster connection knows what I'm referring to; there's something about the feel of a Tele that just doesn't come through in many other electric guitars. I'm not deeply in love with the idea of compromising the Tele aesthetic by trying to electronically turn it into an acoustic guitar, but there's some appeal to it strictly because it IS a Tele. I can see where it would prove "handy" as a performance guitar, but a good acoustic certainly sounds better and I'd much prefer my Thinline Tele with Texas Specials over the single pickup bucker that's demonstrated. It doesn't do either very well, but it will have some who like it. |

I think it's targeted more of Millennials who is creative and one-man-does-everything kinda musician's. I think with some pedal like Line 6 HX stomp/ helix will get benefit out of each other.
great concept and marketing tho. well, I am mid 40s and I don't think I would get one.. I rather have two separate guitars and I don't like the simulation of guitar sound... maybe I will be the 10% who resist get hybrid guitar like this.

I'd rather have both, but I don't necessarily want to lug 1-2 electrics, an amp, pedal board, and a bulky acoustic everywhere. |

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I've been in touch with Sweetwater about this. They were up on their site yesterday (as well as on MF and elsewhere) but for some reason Fender didn't want website sales to begin until tomorrow so they were taken down. They should be back up some time tomorrow.
Why Fender played it this way after launching a marketing blitz on Tuesday I have no idea, and neither does my sales rep. That said, these and other retailers do have them in stock and you can order one over the phone, like I did. Arrives Friday! Last edited by jparis51; 01-23-2019 at 04:27 PM. |

Please report your first impressions (and pics!). I’m seriously jonesing for one of these. I turned on the andertons demo at work today and minimized the browser and really loved what I was hearing.
