If I had a use I would have one they sound better than a lot of Electroacoustics thanks to the Fishman modelling stuff.

There's another USB port on the main circuit board inside - an older mini USB type (or at least it was on the Tele I had). I suspect that's where you'd do any updates/diagnostics. I did out of curiosity hook it up to my Mac to see what happened and nothing did - it wasn't recognised as a drive or anything. I also opened up the Fishman Aura librarian I had from when I used to have a Spectrum DI just on the crazy off chance it might show up in there but it didn't. I was half expecting someone would have hacked one by now but it appears not.
I agree whole heartedly on the desirability of just having the mag pickup output without the amp modelling....it might still need some processing applied to make it work but something more neutral than the tweed deluxe sound would be good.
I tried some way back and could tell they weren't competing with Santa Cruz, Goodall, Lowden, Avalon, etc.
How good are they?
They are very good quality and value for money entry-level acoustics, up to mid-priced electro-acoustics. Apart from the Acoustasonics they don't do anything above about £700, but every one I've played has been well-made, sounded decent and played really well - at least as good as any other maker in the same price range and type, and usually a bit more distinctive-looking.

Fender strings, on the other hand, seem to be excellent. At least the brass 12s and 13s I've been using lately are. I don't know if they make them or just buy them in from somewhere, but they are cheap, feel good,. and sound great.
