A new acoustic guitar developed by Fender, a major brand of electric guitars!
Hollowbody with mahogany side backs and spruce tops.
This model combines the bolt-on neck that is so typical of Fender with the comfort of an acoustic & electric-like guitar!
The heart of the sound is a unique acoustic engine developed in collaboration with Fishman.
Tim Shaw of Fender, who was involved in the development of Gibson pickups in the 1970s and 1980s, was also involved in the development. In addition to humbucking pickups, a piezo pickup and a pickup processed inside the body can create various sounds from a total of three types of pickups.
Here's how to use the controls!
The selector switch can be used to select simulated sounds and switch pickups.
The order is position 5 to 1 from the most front side. (Please refer to the table below)
It also works like a blender by turning the knob in the normal tone knob position and
The system is such that when swung fully counterclockwise, the sound is A, and when turned clockwise from there, the B sound is blended.
Position 5 (selector switch)
A: Rosewood / Dreadnought
B: Mahogany/slope shoulder
Position 4
A: Mahogany/Jumbo
B: All mahogany/small body
Position 3
A: Rosewood / Auditorium
B: Body sensor pickup
Position 2
A: Lo-fi/piezo
B: Lo-fi/Piezo + Crunch
Position 1
A: Fender Electric Fat/Semi-Clean
B: Fender overdriven electric
A total of 10 different sounds can be selected, and
You may think at first that there are so many that it's confusing.
There are very few switches and knobs, so once you understand the basic settings, the rest of the sound creation is intuitive!
My impression when I actually held it was.
It has a familiar neck that makes you think, "Oh, it's a Fender neck," and it feels very similar to an electric guitar.
However, it is also true that this product is tuned with acoustic guitar strings, so it has a strange feeling that electric guitars do not have.
In addition to a wide range of sound makeup, this model is also designed for easy handling in the field, which explains why it is used by professional musicians.
Please take this opportunity to try it out!
