It’s natural that talented contemporaries will find each other and form fast, harmonious fraternity. Which is why it’s no surprise that Nashville-based, bluegrass virtuosos Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle became close friends and collaborators as early as 2017. We decided to have them interview one another in this Premier Guitar exclusive.

When Roberto Baldwin wrote about the Fender Acoustasonic Telecaster for Engadget back in January of 2019 he said, “This is a seriously impressive instrument that will more than likely win over skeptics once they start playing.” Well, confession, I am a skeptic. Something about an acoustic guitar, shaped like an electric guitar, loaded with a bunch of electronics (that are supposed to make it sound
more acoustic) just seems… insane.
Well, a few weeks ago Fender sent over its new Acoustasonic Jazzmaster and I tried to approach it with an open mind. And, while I wouldn’t say I’m a convert, I have a better appreciation for what the company is trying to accomplish.
