Customer ratings for Fender American Acoustasonic Telecaster All-Mahogany Natural

After guitar and amplifier were delivered separately, the beautiful shape and the perfectly processed wood of the guitar convinced first. Not quite convincing elements, such as the material of the volume control, one accepts without criticism. Also the sound of the instrument without amplifier connection is convincing and already invites to play.
All the bigger the disappointment after the first charging of the battery (the necessity and description for charging a battery is not to be found on the home page and can only be found on the last page of the Quick Start Guide) and playing the guitar via amplifier. After the first two full charges, the battery managed 30 to 45 minutes to give w.o. under red flashing. The 3rd full charge could still be used for 2.5 hours, of the promised 20 hours can probably only dream. In addition, the LED indicator shows full charge (green) and charging activity (red), whether the battery under red flashing in the last few minutes has said goodbye or is in normal operation shows no light. How long you can play now - no idea. For a professional musician on stage a NO GO.

Great instrument, super sound, very good workmanship

I had this guitar already often on the social network warmly recommended.
And could now finally strike. Delivery from KIRSTEIN/DPD problem-free, fast and without much waiting.
The guitar: could very quickly become a favorite guitar of mine. The concept works for me (ok, not played a concert yet, but tested extensively in the studio in my setup with board and amps) completely. I come from a strong strummed acoustic or electric rhythm guitar background. So like it when chords sound wide and riffs sound fat.
And they certainly do with the Acoustasonic. It's difficult to solo when you like to fret - the G-string is wrapped and thick. It doesn't pull so easily (at most a semitone). But that's not my thing either.
In my cover band we play songs by Jack Johnson, Sheryl Crow, George Ezra, REM - but also Stones/Monkees/Specials... all in all everything that can be played with an acoustic guitar as well as with an electric guitar (so far always Tele).
And you can do that with the Acoustasonic without having to change guitars all the time.
So far I haven't had to plug in the USB cable to recharge the electronics. We'll see when that comes due.
The rest is great. Sounds great, feels very classy (all matte finish) and looks great.
Yeah!

Unfortunately, the guitar is partly noisy / buzzing. Typical sources of error worked through without success. Already phoned with colleagues from Kirstein.
Problem not yet solved. Return or on-site appointment follows.
Very sad, with such a great product.

So is it an electric guitar that can sound like an acoustic, or an acoustic guitar that plays like an electric? Actually, it doesn't matter, because the Acoustasonic can do both. What I would still like to see is a little more influence on the modeling software (for example, they could donate an app that allows you to make more adjustments). But for the first throw, exactly the right things were emphasized: Ergonomics and sound of a few simple settings. I would buy it again at any time.

Have ordered me this brand new model, already delivered on the second working day at my home.
Packaging excellent.
This Fender American Acoustasonic Tele is visually as well as sonically top class.
The black solid Sitka spruce top in contrast to the darker mahogany body is an absolute
an absolute eye-catcher.
The sound via the Fishman Acoustic Engine with the Tele-PU leaves nothing to be desired.
10 different sound variations are possible, in addition, of course, the many possible intermediate positions with the mode switch.

Here you could actually only take one guitar for a gig.

But also the Kirstein team leaves no wishes open after the purchase.
Had here still another small demand which was checked immediately in the shop and was settled to my fullest satisfaction.
