Fender American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster Acoustic-electric Guitar - Natural Reviews
The Jazzmaster, George Fullerton and Leo Fender's unwitting surf and noise-rock icon, makes the perfect platform for Fender's third wave of Acoustasonic hybrid acoustic-electric instruments. Playing out on the weekends? The Acoustasonic Jazzmaster's bridge-position Acoustasonic Shawbucker magnetic pickup packs vine-ripened California cleans and the gnarliest garage rock tones this side of 1991, even without an amp in tow. But toggle positions and roll the Blend knob, and you'll unearth a slew of blissfully sweet acoustic voicings that are perfect for Sunday cafe gigs. The Acoustasonic Jazzmaster's audaciously offset spruce-on-mahogany SIRS body is built to resonate like an acoustic instrument without succumbing to the feedback issues of other stage acoustics. And yet, thanks to a Modern Deep "C" mahogany neck and thinline Jazzmaster body, this hybrid provides effortless electric-like playability up and down the fingerboard. The Acoustasonic Jazzmaster's bleeding-edge 3-pickup system — the Shawbucker humbucker plus a Fishman Matrix undersaddle system and a percussive body sensor pickup — will make you the envy of every Root, Costello, and Mascis in sight. Powering it all is a 20-hour rechargeable battery that supports simultaneous charge and play for nonstop music making wherever you play out.

Amazing!
I've had mine for a few days now and I am in love with it! The acoustic sound this guitar has is incredible and it even has a nice distortion tone at the brig pick up. This guitar is perfect for solo players who use loop pedals with there set up. The body pickup makes a great sounding beat that sounds like a cajon. I love the Jazzmaster body the best because it gave off the most resonance in my opinion. Fender really hit it out of the park with this one.
Surprising Feel and function
As a hybrid instrument I was skeptical about this guitar because its mostly modeling wrapped into an instrument and being pretty old school, I figured I would try it and probably send it back. Well, that's not going to happen. Once I plugged it in and listened to the many acoustic sounds feeling quite authentic, I then realized how comfortable it is to play so acoustic and what is designed and feels like and electric guitar. Turns out it really brings out the creative juices in a different way than many of my other 20+ guitars. It's also so light and produces enough unplugged sound to be a great practice on the sofa instrument. A word on the build quality: For a $ guitar which I got on sale for 20% off, its Fender quality is standout. Set-up when it arrived and ready to play. Stays in tune beautifully and its great getting genuine acoustic sound but having the ability to play it as an electric with all the freedom for bend and notes in the higher registers. Finally, I mostly do home recording and it's great for laying down acoustic parts with this instrument. Depending on your needs, this is a great guitar to have in your collection!
Loved the Guitar until winter came
Massive fret sprout when the weather turned cold. the wood was clearly not dried properly before constructions. Took several hours to get the frets back to playable. Luckily I didn't have to pay to have the work done but beware!!!
