acoustic electric guitar?

John S.

would it be cheaper to buy an acoustic electric guitar or buy an acoustic and put an amplification set in it?
im thinking about getting the ibanez SGT120LNT SAGE SERIES Left-Handed Acoustic Guitar

Answer
Acoustic electric would be your best bet. You could buy an acoustic and get a 50 buck acoustic pick up but it wouldn't sound half as good as an acoustic electric. Try out an Ibanez, nice guitars.

Answer
acoustic-electric guitars are cool, and very, very common in the music industry




its just a regular acoustic guitar, but it has a microphone built inside of it that can be transmitted to an amplifier



so yes, it will play just like an acoustic guitar. and when you do hook up to an amp, it will project the acoustic sound. it WILL NOT sound like an electric guitar, if thats what you are thinking


yes, they are very good for beginners

What are the differences between playing an acoustic guitar and an electric one? Is one harder to learn/play than the other? What are some good brands for guitars?

Answer
The electric guitar is much easier to learn on simply because there are a wider range of techniques available for use on it. The strings are thinner and can be bent easier, which provides pitch changes. The electric guitar is more easily recorded. The electric guitar has an almost infinite sound possibilities due to the constantly rising range of effects pedals.

The downside to an electric guitar is that it almost always needs some type of amplification, where the acoustic guitar has a sound hole which acts as its own speaker.

The acoustic guitar can have either steel/nickel strings, which is more common, or it can have nylon strings. They are more commonly used for classical style guitar. Steel/nickel stringed guitars are also tougher on your fingers. They require a bit of a tougher callus. Many people prefer it because of its "natural" sound though.

Good brands for electric guitars are
Ibanez, Fender, ESP, Jackson, Gibson, Schecter, epiphone, Dean, B.C. Rich(for more death metal-ish styles), music man, and Washburn

Acoustic guitar brands, classical and steel stringed
Alvarez, Taylor, Fender, Yamaha, Gibson, Martin, Ovation, Cordoba, Ramirez, ibanez, Hill, Alvarez, and la patrie.

I am a new guitar learner so i am wondering what is the different between the acoustic guitar and the electric guitar?

Answer
An acoustic guitar is one that gets its sound amplified from within the guitar itself. When you strum, the sound resonates inside the hollow body of the guitar whereas an electric is not hollow and requires an amplifier to be able to hear it clearly. They are the same thing (meaning that if you know how to play an acoustic, you'll know how to play an electric) but they differ in the way they're built/sound.

If you would like to play just some simple folk songs or chords and not have it loud, an acoustic is for you. If you want to play some of your favorite rock tunes, then I'd suggest getting an electric.
