Telecoustic Deluxe?

I'm thinking of getting one of the new telecoustics in Sherwood green or the sunburst one once I get my tax return. I love how it feels like an electric guitar. I played a stratacoustic before but I didn't really care for the neck as much. But I noticed the new deluxes have a really nice gloss neck. Does anyone own a telecoustic? How are they for acoustic shows? Should I buy one or just stick with my Sonoran?

so it tells you the preamp and controls, but not the actual pickup? what are they hiding here? if it's a piezo i think burn it.

Yeah. I'm not sure. That's why I'm asking for an opinion on it. The neck looks great. I'm debating over this or one of the jzm deluxes. Theres one on eBay right now. It looks awesome. It's a jazzmaster acoustic with a Tele pickup.

Pickguard? I thought about it but it might look really weird with a big hole in it lol.

All the better, making it a tele-gretsch

The Telecoustic Deluxe is an acoustic version of Fender's classic TelecasterÂ® guitar, with a real Fender electric guitar neck and a standard Telecaster neck pickup. The FishmanÂ® Classic IV T MB preamp lets you blend the below-saddle pickup with the TeleÂ® pickup for fantastic acoustic/electric tones; other features include classic Fender tuning keys, a spruce top, maple back and sides and a deluxe gig bag.

So it has a piezo under the saddle and a Tele neck pickup.
