LeftyJ Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Looks cool! I love the idea of sticking a maple Jazz neck to a dreadnought body too, though I feel the blocks and bindings are a little posh for an acoustic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 It does look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Dave Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Strange how different we all are. I love the idea of acoustic bass , I love block marked jazz necks , but that is the single most horrendous looking instument I have ever , ever seen.

Cat Burrito Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 It looks great and I was admiring it myself. However I don't think Fender is exactly the leader when it comes to acoustic instruments. I've owned a Fender mandolin which was ok until I started playing other similar priced mandolins. Equally I've tried their acoustics and banjos - similar story. I love Fender basses, I love teles, I love Fender tube amps, I am a fan of strats but I do have my doubts on their acoustic range. Perhaps I've not yet played a good one?

Bassassin Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I think it looks incongruous - I think they'd have made it far more interesting (and appealing) by styling it along the lines of the Stratacoustic: As it is it looks like a Photoshop experiment.

chris_b Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Now, to me, that looks like a C&W guitar with a bass neck added on. I think the Tacoma Thunderchief is a much better acoustic bass guitar. It's been designed to be a bass and uses bass friendly woods, and they are owned by Fender.
