Obviously, they are not in the same ballpark price wise, but I wonder how this guitar stacks up against the Turner Model 1 that Lindsey Buckingham rocks so admirably? The Model 1 is ~$6k.

In any event, I'm as curious as everyone else to learn how this problem will be resolved. Please let us know. |

There's also the Tom Anderson Crowdster. I think they're in the $4-5k price range.

Fender's approach seems a bit different than Godin's, relying more on the interaction between and response of the body and pickups rather than synthesized effects. I'm not saying that one is better than the other. But, without having played either, it seems to me that the Godin might offer a greater variety of acoustic-electric sounds while not bridging the gap between acoustic and electric as well as the Fender. Although a little jarring initially, I like the looks of the Fender and am curious to hear it in person.

Does anyone else think the electric sounds on this new fender are a bit lacking.
The acoustic sounds are great. I would think it would have been easy to do electric.Coming from fender. |

I listened to the T5z / Acoustisonic review and thought it was well done. I have a T5z and there is a learning curve to take full advantage of its tonal abilities. With its tone adjustments there is nothing lacking in the “acoustic” ability. It’s electric offerings also leave nothing to be desired. From acoustic to jazz guitar to “Les Paul” sound I’ve never been disappointed.

FWIW - the new Fender does seem quite interesting at least in that comparison video. I would love to hear more work on the clean electric settings as opposed to significant gain sounds. The TAG Crowdster +2 electric capabilities are fully developed in my opinion. When I work the two sounds, I like to lay down a loop with acoustic sounds and then overlay with clean or very slightly overdriven electric guitar sounds. Another item to consider when considering the cross-overs is the strings. The TAG Crowdster was developed to use a round third (acoustic strings) and has a 1.72 or so nut width. I have been using electric jazz strings on it (wound 3rd). My Taylor T5 could accommodate a wound third, with a different nut. I believe I used .012 electric strings on it without a wound third. It appears the new Fender is designed for electric strings and not a wound third. Anyway, just a few thoughts when comparing. The strings and nut-width go a long way toward making the instrument more or less electric or acoustic feeling.

Its sometimes used to build up the section of saddle bottom which is directly below the weakly responding string.

Don't need to! My Godin has 2 ouputs one for the acoustic, one for the electric. Electric side has 3 pickups. I can send my electric side to my electric effects board and the acoustic side goes to the acoustic effects board.
Cost was no where near that Fender and my Godin looks much nicer than that ugly Fender! Just saying! |

I really liked this guitar at NAMM but every one that I tried had a weak high e string on both the acoustic AND the electric pickups. It seems to be something to do with the design and you may just have to live with it. I still want to get one.

That's disheartening, but I still think I have a particular problem as the balance from the magnetic pickup sounds fine. On the UST the high E's only getting about half the volume of the B string.

This is a very common problem with any UST and easily fixed with a little paper, masking tape, filing, or painting. One of the reasons I don't have one of those super popular soundboard transducers in my guitars is after the install, super glue in the case of a K&K, you are stuck with whatever string balance you get.

I've only been skimming over these several threads on the new Acoustasonic, so I could be adding two and two and making five here, but I noticed in a close-up photo of the inner workings (in another AGF thread) that the UST position is more to the BASS side (I think someone actually said it was more to the TREBLE side, but I think it is the opposite). So if that is the case, and if it is like that on all models, then couldn't that be the reason for the low volume on the high E string?
Here's the thread that shows the UST position: https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...d.php?t=536084 |
