White: https://reverb.com/item/74992256-...ctic-white

I bought and received a White one last week New in its factory box and went back to buy a Blond one when they appeared to be sold out - Just popped up again and no idea of how many they have left. BY FAR, the best deal I've seen on these.

Just recieved one.... perfect condition...Fender ship box, nice soft case, factory hang tags, accessory bag.
The factory setup and action was very good as was the fretwork. I like my action a bit lower so adjusted the micro-tilt and the playability is just fantastic.
I should mention that I have other guitars, Fenders, G&L's, Gibsons, Epiphones, Taylors, Martins and played semi-pro in my prior life. I don't playout any more so this is just for home use. It is great unplugged for late night playing and I also plug into my amp sims for the amplified pickup sounds...all very useful and tasty. I've played the american version plenty and this Mex plays the same, less some pickup options. Though this is a great value, it might not be the best choice for a beginner,as it's a niche guitar and guitarists with experience with both acoustics and electric can better gauge how this might fit with their other instruments and musical style. This acoustasonic works well for all genres, from finger style and strumming, to speedy lead work. I'm impressed!
I have played a few of these. I really really wanted to like this guitar. I've seen other people rocking them but I could not get the feel for them. Then I tried a Taylor 314CE and that was it, love at first play. Great price for this guitar, especially on Reverb where many guitars are way overpriced.

I've got an American jazzmaster version. They're great couch guitars.

I bought the player tele acoustasonic the second I saw it coming out. I couldn't justify the 2000 price tag for the American, so this was perfect for me. I've used it all year almost every weekend for my solo acoustic shows and it is FAN-TASTIC! I use an mx5 headrush straight to my pa and it sounds great. If it broke tonight I'd be at the store getting another one tomorrow. They are making a jazz master player acoustasonic and I'll be the first in line for that. Highly recommended it if you are a solo artist.

Make sure you check the electronics thoroughly. Someone posted this on Reddit last night and commented that they bought it last week and returned it because none of the electronics worked. The white one specifically.

So make sure you do thorough testing

Interesting. I bought the listed guitar on Wed. 1 of the photos shows the serial number.

The ad states "We have multiple Acoustasonic guitar available and selling them individually. The pictures are representative of the one you will get. They will come in their factory box and in excellent condition with no factory warranty."

Now, the word "representative" sticks out. My initial interpretation was that it was THAT specific guitar. But maybe not.

Definitely not how they advertised it. They do take returns, especially if it's not as described or damaged. So just check it thoroughly.

I am not sure that I am following you. Are you agreeing with my initial assumption that the guitar I'd receive would be the guitar pictured? Or are you saying I misinterpreted the ad and it would be a similar guitar?

Honestly, it doesn't matter to me other than I am not thrilled with the "spin" from a vendor I've never purchased from before. If the pic was just a random guitar, the ad should have explicitly said so.

On Reverb, sellers will use phrasing of or similar to "Photos are of the actual guitar you will receive" when selling a specific guitar. FGW has a ton of these, so it's meant to be read something like "Photos are of a guitar similar to one you will receive". They're overstocked guitars; only a few of them will ever make it to the photo booth.

I see that...now. But that certainly was not my initial impression. Again, not a big deal as I would suspect that the 1 I will receive will be virtually identical. But I am still a bit irked.

I recommend checking out everything on everything you buy - FWIW, electronics checked out fine on my white one.

I would be fine with one as long as it matches the same condition as the pictured one. But to take a photo of one, and use that "stock" photo as the one for the entire stock, is a bit strange.

Like I said, just do a thorough check and it should be fine.

My Reddit comment was because he returned his, and it sounds like they just threw it back into the sale stock on Reverb without actually fixing it or anything.

I'm sure it will be fine. The text of the ad, along with the pic showing the serial number, led me to believe it was the exact guitar. No worries.
