Fender American Acoustasonic Stratocaster Acoustic Electric Guitar, Black, Ebony Fingerboard, with Gig Bag

The nut width and string spacing are perfect for my hand & I haven’t had any trouble with the high rolling off as some have. Nice piece!!

It's easily the most comfortable guitar I own to just pick up and strum. It's the ultimate bedroom practice guitar. If you strum it hard, even unplugged, you get a minor distortion effect too, which seems almost magical. However if I want a full sound, I need to grab my Taylor. And if I want a better electric rock sound, I grab my Gibson. Thus the title of my review.It feels so comfortable to play, and sounds delightful. It's got the feel of an electric guitar with the neck and body, so much so that you might be tempted to perform full-step bends. But then you are quickly reminded that these are acoustic strings, heavy and encumbered as such. Still it's a fun one to play, easily the best practice guitar I've ever owned.

I really like the form factor of this guitar. It’s thin body makes it great for picking up and playing in a chair or on your bed without taking up too much space. There are however some cons. One being the 6th string, it can fall off the frets quite easily (probably mentioned in other comments). Second one being that in some non-standard tunings (esp using a capo) you will not get great sounds, at least in my experience. EADGBE in particular had some strangeness to it if using a capo. Still love the guitar, great for travel (I use it mainly as an acoustic guitar) due to its size.

I’ve been playing my Strat for 2 1/2 years now and am still finding new voices. It is the one guitar that always, always makes me smile when I pick it up out of the case. So light. Easy to tune. Unique classy looks.And she has a lovely voice without any amplification. Works well for jazz, folk, even classical. When plugged in, it can produce all types of sounds, lifelike stage acoustic, dirty to clean electric, wet or dry, focused or scooped. And she absolutely loves all types of delay and modulation.Understandably, such an instrument will not fit everyone’s image of their dream guitar. She can sound like and record like a dreadnought, but is not anything like a dreadnought in one’s hands. The same might be said for her not fitting the image or feel of a classic rock Stratocaster.What she does, and does a lot, she does quite well. And her peculiarities have persistently grown on me over the years. For example, there is a setting where the voice of the undersaddle piezo acoustic pickup may be “blended”, as Fender says, with a Tim Shaw designed noiseless Strat pickup. To me, this is a crisp, clean folk/jazz hybrid that handles complex voicings admirably well, and can shape shift with one’s choice of pick. I prefer a darker toned pick with a rounded edge, very jazzy, but equally like the characteristic snap of celluloid to rock out a bit.A Swiss Army knife in the right hands.
