child and a group of interesting characters that (for various reasons) are on the journey with him. This is a complex story about love, war, & family told in a sci-fi setting through the eyes of an outlawed A.I. I wanted to pinch his little android cheeks, tuck him in my purse, and take him home with me. I was really gripped by the characters - all of them. What makes us human? But the storytelling was so lovely and touching that it felt fresh. Sometimes I love his stuff, sometimes I hate his stuff, and sometimes I'm just meh about it.ĭecender falls firmly into the love it category, though. Lemire or his fans! It's just that he isn't a consistent author for me. It's not like I avoid what he writes, but I also don't actively seek him out.

Maybe swapping out the crunchy options for a couple more acoustic models would have made it even more useful, but this remains an appealing six-string multi-tool and a genuine problem-solver for many gigging players.Jeff Lemire is not one of those go-to authors for me. “The launch of the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster feels like a no-brainer move for Fender, spreading the potential appeal of what is virtually a whole new category of guitar. The feel of the bevelled arm rest and fingerboard edges says quality and comfort this is an inviting guitar and that Modern Deep-C neck will feel familiar to anyone who has played the electric Player series models.” A lovely dark rosewood fingerboard and bridge replaces the US version’s ebony, but that’s not anissue for us. “In terms of feel and build, we honestly can’t find a compromise between this Ensenada-made Player and the US Acoustasonics we’ve tried. MusicRadar: The onboard voice options might have been scaled down but the Acoustasonic Telecaster sticks the landing as a Player Series model, in what could be one of the guitars to make the hybrid build truly go mainstream.įender Player Series Acoustasonic Telecaster: The web says That, in sum, is the sort of thing the Acoustasonic format encourages. That said, it can be pressed into service of many different kinds of styles, perhaps some that are all your own. It is warmer, with a little more width than you’d expect from a Tele’s bridge pickup. Fender promises twang but this isn’t Pete Anderson levels of twang. Park yourself on position one for a more traditional electric guitar experience, but don’t necessarily expect a traditional Telecaster experience. In a sense, this is a sound that almost exists outside of the spectrum of acoustic/electric tones, and is sure to support pedalboard experimentation. The sound is just coming from the piezo and as you turn the blend control it adds drive.

Here is where the true hybrid tones are, and as such, there are fewer references for what we are hearing.
