The New Fender Acoustasonic Jazzmaster

Fender has shipped a new guitar in its Acoustasonic line. This time the combo is an acoustic mixed with a Jazzmaster. So many people have been doing reviews of this guitar, but I thought I'd share this one from Mary Spender. The guitar's mode knob allows for such a wide range of acoustic and electric tones, and the neck and body shape is perfect for players who'd like more of an electric feel.

I got to play the Tele version of the Acoustasonic and it played smoothly, and was lightweight. Through a Fishman acoustic amp it sounded really good. I feel like this is what the Line 6 Variax Acoustics could have been, but done in a way better way. Check out Mary's full review below.

Steve Vai single-handedly premieres "Knappsack"

Vai recently brought back his Alien Guitar Secrets series of videos to talk about hand health, an important topic for every guitarist. Steve recently had to have hand surgery after injuring himself, but thankfully for us, couldn't stay away from guitar for too long.

In the video below, Vai uses only his fretting hand to premiere the new song he made, "Knappsack". Vai never ceases to amaze me!

Six String Sunday (March 7th, 2021)

As it starts to get warmer, and as we hear more and more positive news, I can’t help but feel optimistic for the Spring and Summer over here. Rather than wanting to curl up and not be cold during the winter, I’m at my desk practicing, recording, mixing. All really welcome after a rough winter. How’s your year been going so far? What are you most looking forward to? I for one, can’t wait to get back to live music.
