When Roberto Baldwin wrote about the Fender Acoustasonic Telecaster for Engadget back in January of 2019 he said, “This is a seriously impressive instrument that will more than likely win over skeptics once they start playing.” Well, confession, I am a skeptic. Something about an acoustic guitar, shaped like an electric guitar, loaded with a bunch of electronics (that are supposed to make it sound
more acoustic) just seems… insane.
Well, a few weeks ago Fender sent over its new Acoustasonic Jazzmaster and I tried to approach it with an open mind. And, while I wouldn’t say I’m a convert, I have a better appreciation for what the company is trying to accomplish.
