I am predominantly an acoustic guitar player. I am looking to purchase an amp and I was leaning towards this Fishman one. I would obviously use it for acoustic guitar but if I want to plug my electric guitar into it as well, is that okay? I really like this Fishman amp. Should I instead just get one that is more versatile and can suit both?
Answer
I have worked with all the amps mentioned and discovered long ago a good combo amp (meaning either a tube/solid state or separate head and speaker unit) can by itself perform well for both.
Acoustic amps are circuited (signal path and routing, etc.) to respond best with the (piezo) pickups that are installed and meant for most acoustic guitars of worth. Not really the transducers for overdrives, distortion or other effects other than the standard reverb, tremolo (vibrato) and chorus circuits. Not enough (signal separation and channeling) diversity for any solid body or those that have different pickups.
These pickups take advantage of the acoustic (body chamber) rebound and resonance of what acoustics are designed for, and respond the best in the whole process.
Is why, some acoustic electric players may gravitate toward to an exclusive acoustic amp in hopes of bringing out the best in their own instrument of choice. As these units, are then tried to be paired with the particular pickups installed in their acoustic guitars.
Depends upon the player's ears all around, to make the real difference.

I am taking acoustic guitar lessons soon.. but I don't have a strap for it, i own an electric guitar and i have a strap for it... can i use the electric guitar strap for the acoustic guitar?
Answer
The only difference between an electric guitar strap and an acoustic guitar strap is that you must first plug in the electric guitar strap.
