Normally a guitar is considered 'acoustic' if it requires no amplification ie you don't have to plug it in to anything to be heard. This means its body is hollow which allows the sound to reverberate when the strings are struck. An obvious example is a classical guitar. An 'electric' guitar usually has a solid body and to be heard properly, needs to be plugged into an amplifier. With an Electric Guitar it's the pickups under the strings that capture the string vibrations, turn them into electrical signal which then get amplified to produce the sound. Gibson Les Paul and Fender Stratocaster are examples of electric Guitars. There are hybrids though: electro-acoustic guitars look like normal acoustic guitars but thay can also be plugged into an amplifier to produce a louder sound. With these, the sound is produced by the hollow body and by a special pickup (piezo) - typically located in the bridge (where the strings are anchored to the guitar's body)
