Fender American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster - Tobacco Sunburst Review

Very satissfied with the Fender Acoustasonic Jazzmaster

I'm a casual player, so don't take this comments as if they were from a professional :-) Playing guitar, particularly acoustic/electroacoustic is one of favorite ways to disconnect from the real world and relax. I used to play regularly when I was much younger, and about two years ago I resumed playing, I'm still trying to get my fingers to respond which as y'all know requires… read more practice. I have several guitars, acoustic, electric, MIDI, but I was looking for one electro acoustic with the right size and variation of tonalities, not too heavy, easy to play. And I saw the Fender Acoustasonic Jazzmaster announced and available at Sweetwater, and fell in love at first sight !! I had to save and wait a little bit, meanwhile I read many reviews, watched countless videos, and when the time was right I ordered mine. Ohh boy, ohh boy, kudos to the Sweetwater shipping gurus, the guitar arrived two days earlier than expected, as usual in the amazing packaging (including the candy bag) from Sweetwater. Besides being a beautifully designed instrument, my first impression was "wow this guitar is pleasantly light" !! I'm still trying to get use to the shape of it, and few times feels a little bit unbalanced, I mean the headstock tends to go down but I believe it is just practice and getting use to how thin it is, thinner than the Gibson Les Paul I also got from Sweetwater. I have a very small amp for practice, but I started playing this one at first without the amp, very nice clean tone, easy to play, no issues at all with the fingerboard, very impressed with the intonation. Now, when I hooked it up to the amp and started playing with the voice selector switch, boooom my brain exploded !!! I could not believe my ears, the tones you can get out of this guitar are amazing, I could not believe when playing in the Rosewood Dreadnought position that it was not just a real large acoustic, very very impressed. Each voice has its own personality and the blend knob gives you so many variations. I'm extremely pleased with this purchase and as always by the quality service provided by Sweetwater. The Fender ACoustasonic Jazzmaster became my favorite guitar for daily practice, I play only at home for fun, but I can imagine if I had to play on a gig or at a party with friends, this would be the guitar I'd take with me. Thank you Fender, Thank you Sweetwater !! PS: I had a hard time trying to decide what color to buy, if I had the $$ I'd buy one of each :-)

Fun guitar and sounds very good even unplugged. The neck shape is perfect and feels great. Very smooth feeling. Overall looks and sounds great and nicely upgraded from previous acoustasonic.
