Aesthetically I think one of these in just a natural glossy wood finish with a nice Abalone rosette would look amazing.

You did such a great job on the song. You totally sold me on the guitar...I WANT ONE! But with the truth coming out you made this sound great love the song and the guitar playing. You made the guitar another voice with the chorus, I now want to learn the song. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic playing and amazing clean tones.

I came here to this video to check out the review of the acoustasonic tele.......left blown away by your outdoor performance!!! 👍👍😀. Nice work!

Bought the acoustasonic 2 years ago, and still pretty happy with it! Love that guitar color! And your performance is stunning!

Still glad I have my Acoustasonic Jazzmaster, but nice to know there are more affordable options coming. ;-)

One of my favorite songs, this version is so genuine, I love it

I absolutely love the concept of this guitar and also being an avid telecaster fan I’m hoping to get one of these in this colour very soon! Superb playing as well you are a great guitarist.

Would have been cool if they did a Mustang shape, since the Mustang was the “student” (lower cost) model when it first came out.

Beautiful Backdrop for such a fun performance ... Thanks for sharing such an enchanting moment !

What a truly amazing trio of beautiful music beautiful song singing and playing 👌🏻 & well the guitar ain’t too shabby either 😊 loved that song you played in Barcelona and now looking forward to listening to more of your music 😎

The algorithm recently suggested at random Page & Plant doing their excellent Unledded No Quarter thing back in the mid-90's and it suddenly dawned on me: These Acoustasonics are the Ovations (which Page plays often in these sessions) of the 2020's. An acoustic that's not quite an acoustic designed for the electric player and some love em and some hate em. Just like Ovations which of course are still available too. From Fender once upon a time too.

That’s what I’ve been saying since the American Acoustasonic Tele came out a couple of years ago. However, you did skip a couple of significant steps in the evolution between Ovations and these: the Gibson (and Epiphone) Chet Atkins SST and the Taylor T5.

Hi Mary, beautiful song, thanks for the demo!🎼🎸😎💐

Mary. Thank you. Didn’t know they came out with the less expensive version. all excellent quality. You sounded awesome. Thanks for the demo.

I believe TODAY is the day it has been announced (at least in the UK anyway). I was in a UK guitar shop today, looking at the Acousticaster, and the excitable music shop guy told me that later that day (today), the announcement would happen, of the Mexican version, with just a 3-position selector switch. So, I got a cheeky heads up - (not really, ha ha !!)

Every time I see these I just think about back ~10ish years ago when Fender tried to make these guitars as a more budget friendly piece and they did not resonate with people. I always thought that they were interesting concepts, so it makes me happy seeing that Fender didn't give up on the design and instead just tried to make it the best guitar that it could be.

Three positions is all you really need. I could say the same about my strat although position two is useful. The guitar sounds great and with Mary’s hybrid technique it sings with harmonic joy. I’d buy one. (Butterscotch) Great demo !

I really like the sound of this guitar in particular in combination with your style of playing. I also kinda like the look. I love Teles, for me they are the perfect guitar (at least shape wise). And this has a really nice modern shape. This one as a solid body could be also be pretty nice.

Wow, I was really impressed by your playing and singing! Thank so much! :)

beautiful performance! i really enjoyed it

Interesting to note the range of comments. Everyone has an opinion. Some say it’s too expensive others say it’s reasonably priced. Most like the sound some don’t. I thought it sounded good and it was played well. I liked the location too.

I think compared to 2 grand it is very reasonably priced. I liked the concept from the get go but I'm not willing to pay 2g's. I could justify paying a thousand, and the Mexican Fenders have been very high quality lately. There are Mexican Fender electric (solid body) models right now that cost more than a thousand. People are getting hung up on the fact that ALL GUITARS have had their prices skyrocket since the pandemic began. A Mexican Charvel (made by Fender) which I was looking at, was out of stock at $600 and by the time they came back in stock they where almost a thousand. Prices are only going to go up on the new guitar market so people are going to have to wrap their minds around it. Some say there will be a used market price dump soon due to people buying all the stock (as beginners) during covid and not sticking with it. If it's too much $ for you, wait a year or two and save a grip of cash buying used. Taylor and Martin have already proven that some great acoustics can be made in Mexico, so it only follows that the largest guitar producer (already in Mexico) would as well. Just my 2 cents.

@charlesbolton8471

@@munkyenima I completely agree. It really shows that Fender is listening to their customers since people have been asking for a more “affordable” Acoustasonic since the American made one first came out almost three years ago. The thing that I don’t understand is that Taylor has been making the T5 for 16 years, and there has never been a similar push from their customer base for a more “affordable” T5 made in Mexico. I’ve liked the American Acoustasonics since they first came out, but at their price I would be more inclined to buy the T5, but I already have a similar Gibson (the Ranger) which was the short lived replacement for the Chet Atkins SST. However, the price of these Mexican Acoustasonics is low enough that I might consider one of them (or maybe a used T5).

I literally just bought one before seeing this video. It’s almost perfect for what I want it for. The quality is superb and I can’t see any difference in them physically from the Americans. I know this sounds odd, but the big body of dreadnoughts hurt my shoulder and aren’t comfortable for me. I am also an electric player and move the speed and ease of play. This is a winner! Great review!

Pretty cool guitar! Even better performance! 👏👏

Outstanding, beautiful music and beautiful fender instrument

Mary... beautiful tune...just awesome 🔥

Mary, I like how the guitar sounded with you playing it. I was interested in the line when the first acoustisonic came out, but it can't fit my style of playing, which works well for me on an Ibanez afj95-aff. When I see a version come out that says Squire on it, I'll take another look.

Really liked this song, and your voice was wonderful. Thank you and God Bless. ❤️🙏🎸🤓🇺🇸(California)

This instrument sounds beautiful in your hands! But I really must see one of these instruments in person some day. On video they look like they are carved out of a ‘70’s kitchen counter. I really can’t get past the look.

Nice playing and nice review! Did you find it more difficult to play finger style on the Acoustasonic versus your Martin OM28, which has a 1-3/4” neck width? I am interested in the Fender but concerned that the neck may be too cramped for my tastes.

Very interesting tones. Some people say that it's not a this or that. Exactly - it's its own thing and it has some great tones.

Talentosa María. Sensacional, como siempre.

The sound of the guitar brings me the song "Wide open spaces". Sweet 😎👍

Sounds Beautiful. What a great jam.

Great performance as always. 🙏🙏🙏 I appreciate the demo, but I'm probably not picking an Acoustasonic up anytime soon.

One of your best videos yet

What a beautiful song!!

This seems like the perfect solution for any type of stage acoustic performance.

Hi Mary. Just waiting for delivery of my acoustasonic as I type this comment. What is your opinion on the strings that come with the guitar? Did you immediately swap them for something different? Electric vs acoustics? Thanks!

Nicely original playing, Mary.

Hello Mary, nice guitar, but I've just taken delivery of Emerald guitars carbon fibre virtuo. I love it, it is so versatile, does accoustic and electric sounds very well. See Justin Johnson demoing one.

well i was questioning this guitar but now Im convinced I got to get one

Want. The guitar is cool too! Keep rockin' Mary!

The guitar makes a noise, the artist makes beautiful sounds. The variety of guitars are endless so there is no need to be stuck on playing a vintage Telecaster. I heard an inventor once say if your not leading the view never changes. So Mary keep on keep’n on.

I have the USA one and it is great! I didn't want a huge full sized acoustic with a chunky neck, I wanted a thinline with skinny neck. The voicing sound great and it had no piezo quack! Plus I love Teles. People love to dog on the "gig" bag not being a hard-shell case, but It's a sturdy stiff lined soft shell, not a floppy bag. It's a nice case I must say! I like it a lot. The noiseless Tele pickup sounds really good and it was designed by Tim Shaw who did all the great eighties pickups for Gibson and is now a Fender man. Plus I love how it sounds just acoustically. Not concert volume, but a nice output for bedroom playing and impromptu jam sessions. It's a cool guitar. If you want a dreadnought go buy one, but If you want something unique and more comfy get this.

A wonderful performance of *Run Your Mouth.* and a nice to see an Acoustasonic at a "reasonable" prine point.

beautiful and brilliant.

Can I ask what you had the guitar plugged into ? I'm hearing a bit crunch in the sound - so, an electric guitar amp ? Or perhaps through your digital stuff, direct to laptop ? Or a mic'd up PA / acoustic guitar amp ? Fab guitar demo ! Lastly, does the neck feel quite similar to the American-made Acousticasters ? My 13.5yr old son really likes the Acousticasters but up till now, they've been way too expensive to spend on a kid - that's not making them appreciate the price of things spoiling them like that. So would the Mexican version perhaps, but at least it's getting towards a do-able price bracket. Many thanks in advance. Big fan of yours - which is saying something as I hardly ever listen to anything other than blues & soul

This is awesome. Does anyone know the name of the song and if is available to stream somewhere?

Hi Mary, what a great video you make! And this is also very beautiful. I think you are really smart and you sing awesome! At the moment I can't seem to like the sound of these guitars ... I prefer other guitars you own, acoustics or electrics🤷‍♂️🙂

OMG a Blackstar sighting. One for the books.

That's sweat! Maybe worth the trip to check it out.

Amazing!

I like your playing style

It's amazing

ironically I got the email from Fender announcing this line while I was watching. I am not sold on the appearance of this guitar line but I do like the sound that they produce.

The last ten seconds, when you let go, was when I saw the magic. (FWIW)

I'm curious how you get around the rules that require disclosure of sponsorship. Or did I just miss the disclosure?

What's your favorite tuning for acoustic?

Lovely.

I wasn't even considering the Acoustasonic in the previous version because of price. This is MUCH better. The paired down sounds, to me, are no loss. And Fender Mexico has proven itself very good quality for a long time now.

so the sound is slightly darker than the regular acoustasonics? At least it feels like it (which is good, for me)

Really nice performance 🙂 I believe they could give you a log with six strings attached and you would find a way to make it sound amazing lol. I never understood why these were never really well received. Maybe the acoustic strings? They say price but I mean even people who can afford them don’t buy them. There was no acoustasonic “hype” lol

Mary, does this sound good acoustically?

Would have been nice to have had a more in depth review of the voicings how many? (if more than one). What do they replicate? How do they sound?...etc, etc.

Whats the string set up in this? Beautiful tones and voice 😍😍
