Fender Acoustasonic Tele Demo

Post by Haze »

This actually sounds quite good, especially the two mixed together. Plenty of companies have had a go at this sort of thing but this is the first one that i've actually liked.

Why does the bridge need so much wood in front of the saddle? I think the Taylor T-5 is better, but the price point is decent.

The T-5s are phenomenal but expensive. the excess wood is to emulate what the tele bridge wood look like :lol:

this sounds really cool, looks alright. I wish it had an f-hole...
The Acoustasonic™ Tele® is a groundbreaking new instrument that pairs the iconic Telecaster with Fishman® Aura™ Technology. This technology effectively generates the resonance and complexity of a full bodied acoustic within the familiar platform of the Telecaster®.
so it's like modeling technology inside the fishman aura electronic thing? bummer, but I guess it wouldn't sound the same as having a semi hollow w/ a piezo in the bridge and that tele neck p'up. eh. I also guess it isn't semi-hollow right?

err, hmmm, good question. the line about "generates the resonance" seems slightly dubious. still I would think it's a bit closer to the sound than an acoustic modeling pedal.

yeah the white one looks much better.

chambered, with laminate top. probably achieves similar resonance, most dissipated via bolt on neck.

i think white with a mint guard would be ace.
