I've come around to them as well, and see them a bit like multi-FX units. As much as the tart in me likes having the separate 'proper' pedals, when I actually plug one in and am playing around, it's hard to argue with the convenience/fun of having everything there. They look like they'd be great fun with the looper pedal.
Also, I used to be really against the idea of the thin electric-like acoustics until I lived with someone who kept theirs in the lounge for a bit. Pretty much as comfy and easy to play as an electric when you're crap like me, sound was a bit boxy, but definitely 'an acoustic guitar', and not always a bad thing that it's not as loud.
I'm not buying one, but I could definitely see the appeal of it - especially if you haven't got space to store a few guitars and mostly play through headphones/unplugged anyway.
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?
