Sorry for the 1. Upload with terrible bitrate audio. 2. Not realizing the upload was public when I was traveling all day. 3. Reupload pinging you again with the notification. BUT! I did find that something had apparently changed over at YouTube where AAC audio (their preferred format) in an MP4 file seems to get "Napstered" with compression. I filed an extensive bug report, but if you have an audio-related channel: for now, Linear PCM is the way to go.

Does BJ always play Jimi Hendrix pentaprism style?

Totally confused. 1, I couldn't get over playing it up side down, was that interfering with my hearing? 2, is my hearing going, 3, do you have nails? Either way I couldn't hear any bite.The sounds seem to have an AI surface texture. What am I saying? I don't know. Just tried my own acustic for comparison, yes I am losing my own top end. Anyway you are one of my ~6 top Youtubers, thanks, learnt a lot.

OK I have kind of ignored this thing but you demonstrated some sounds that I actually like.

Dude. It’s upside down! Also, it will sound a lot better if you tune it up!

Wo！ how can you play guitar like this！

The Acoustasonic sounds like it would be a great choice for capturing a fleetwood mac-esque sound. Hard to get some of that Lindsay Buckingham sound without nylon.

I have a different approach… 70 years old and have struggled with crap hand-me-down acoustics for many years. When Covid hit I decided to really take up guitar. I am too old to accumulate many more guitars to play with tones. I decided to spend $2000 on a strat version to play with all the tones. Very happy with this. Enjoy watching guys who can really play on the acoustasonic. Awesome Post!

Hey Benn, great video. Thank you. I sold my Gibson J200 to get an acoustasonic strat for greater versatility and better intonation all the way up the neck. I finf it really inspiring as an instrument. Love it. Well done Fender indeed.

Ben pays 2000$ for a guitar, doesn't even know how to hold it properly after 30 years of playing.

The only main problem it an acoustic guitar when recorded would not be using a pickup inserted into the guitar. Maybe for a live not for a studio setup. Recording the dreadnaught miced up would beat the fender "Acoustasonic" every time.

Fender: Great guitar…but not a 2k guitar. If it had a street price of 800 USD I could see alot of sales happening. But in this economy, in a world where streaming pays 0.003 cents per play…only non-professional musicians can afford 2k guitars. Love your past, and hope for a long and storied future for Fender.

I'm not sure if I like it as an replacement for an acoustic, but I like it as an guitar with a unique sound.

Am I the only one who can't listen to dry guitar and get any idea of if I like the sound of it, without copious post-production reverb? (The reverb added versions sound wicked) I realize that drenching this demo with reverb would ruin it for all of you who have actual ability to hear guitar sonic quality without reverb. All the strumming sounded awful to me, but the arpeggiated or finger picked stuff sounded ace. I think I quite like everything this guitar does when your fingers touch it and don't like what it does when its hit with a pick. Maybe all I'm disliking is that set of strings. IDK.

You sound a bit like Will Forte.
@duncan-rmi
October 13, 2025 at 4:25 am
maybe they'll be super-nice after this & send you a lefty strung upside down.
seriously, I felt that what might be missing on the strummy bits of the demo was the chestiness of the low strings being struck before the high strings. would be interesting to hear it strummed the other way…

Someone needs to hook up Devin Townsend with one of these… absolutely amazing sounds across the board!!

Hi Benn I really love your videos ! Could you make a video about how you go through designing synth sounds? Like what do you imagine when you first start a patch, what do you think of when you are shaping the sound…? Anyways really eye opening videos, keep 'em coming!!! 😉

on the battery vs recharge thing… you can swap a battery in a couple minutes, recharging takes a while. unless the fender can also work plugged into external power of course.
