2020, I bought American Acoustasonic Stratocaster Dakota Red. I return it after 2 days because of some issues. Also, I wasnt happy with the color. In my opinion, its more orange than red. For that price, I expected guitar with no any issues. Later I realize Im not the only one with similar experience.
2023, I bought Player Telecaster during the Black Friday. The guitar was really good, but I sold it couple months ago for the same price what I have paid it.
3 weeks ago, I bought Standard Telecaster Honey Burst. I put transparent pickguard which is removable (no glue, nano technology). Also, I upgrade it with Fender locking tuners, Bigrock power pins, and Fender deluxe gigbag. I use D'Addario Nickel Bronze 10-47. Those strings are made for Acoustasonic guitars. Also, fot overdriven sound, I use TC Electronic MojoMojo pedal.
