NGD : Fender American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster All Mahogany

[pikmin]

So I did it ! When the acoustasonic guitars appeared on the market I was skeptical for a long time …
And then I got some neurological problems and was not able to play a show for 2 years … I’m now back on stage and now I play acoustic/hybrid shows sitting down …
Where the major parts of the songs are acoustic and then some are with overdrive/distortion . I was playing like this with my acoustic guitar but was frustrated all the time with the feedback because of the overdrive / distortion ect …
At that point , the acoustasonic appeared suddenly to me like a wonderful idea…
And now I love it ! It really plays like an electric guitar . The neck is awesome.
I got a great deal on it cause it was a return and I got a discount on top of that cause it was the sales period in Belgium .
The guitar is perfect .
I love that Bourbon Burst finish with the tortoise rosette too .
It’s really a joy to play .
I think it’s one of the best guitars I’ve ever tried and I tried many . We’ll see at the end of the honeymoon ;-) .

Now, the pictures :

They do look beautiful, and the use you've described for it seems to be its ideal niche. Enjoy!

I’m really diggin’ those Guitars.. Standing Up or Sitting Down they’re Cool! I’d love to see them in Sunburst & Natural Finish…

I’m goofing to have to go play some… Thanks for GASS!!!

Here’s a video of a song from the first show :

I liked that. The verse seemed a bit Knopfler-y and the chorus a bit Dinosaur JR-y to me

They're an acquired taste but thats a cool guitar! Glad you like it.
Cool table too!

I love my acoustasonic telecaster. Plays and sounds great.
But there's no helping how absolutely dogshit ugly they are

I guess I’m lucky cause I find my acoustasonic Jazzmaster Bourbon Burst beautiful .
I’m an amateur luthier , I’m taking class and I’m building an acoustic guitar from scratch . Doing that helped me to understand how those acoustasonic are made and I find it clever and beautiful…

Another song with my American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster All Mahogany !
I play on a Laney A Duo acoustic amp :

I just put power pins on my acoustasonic jazzmaster !
I like it a lot , it was easy to install and now it’s so much easier and quicker to change strings … I like the sound too . No risk anymore for the ball ends to fall inside the guitar and mess with the electronics .
Pretty cool .

Also , I just noticed Jack White has a signature acoustasonic Jazzmaster , with a pickguard.

Another example of the usefulness of my Acoustasonic Jazzmaster.
6 months later, I still love this guitar.
But then, for our next concert on Friday, I'm going back to full electric with 2 real Jazzmasters. It's been 3 years since I last played a full electric gig, due to neurological problems.

But I’ll still play many show with the acoustasonic later.
