I agree with you, it looks and sounds like the worst of both worlds. Don’t know how they’ve sold. Worst thing for me is that they have bugger all actual acoustic capability and all the tone comes from the digital modelling stuff. I had assumed it was like a mini acoustic that you could also plug in and get electric tones with.
Maybe if you need to do both acoustic and electric parts live and don’t want to take two guitars into the shower.
Edit: I shouldn’t be such a retrogrouch, fair play to Fender for trying something new. It probably just needs one successful artist using one and they’ll take off.

As unlikely as it seems, they must have taken off in some way otherwise the original would have sunk without trace, instead of spawning its hideous Strat and Jazzmaster offspring.

I suspect someone like Keith Urban or one of the commercial country crowd has made this the must have accessory of the scene already...

I see that fender is persevering with the acoustasonic. Now releasing a jazz master based offset model:
I'm still struggling to understand the point of these. Although I may be coming round as I no longer view them as a total abomination.
All of the reviews I've seen for them say they're ok if you can't decide between an acoustic and an electric. However from what I can see, given the price you could happily buy a decent mid range acoustic and electric for the same dorrah added to that they are very difficult for anyone other than a fender approved tech to adjust. Has anyone played one? Am I missing something?
