Can you use your Electric-Acoustic with an Electric amp?
Sure you can but, it will not sound near as good as if you use an amp made just for acoustic guitars. Electric guitar amps all have distortion even if it is set and sounds perfectly clean to your ears....distortion is not an acoustic guitars friend. If you dont believe me go to a guitar store and plug in an electric acoustic into each amp...you will see what I mean.
What are same about the electric and acoustic guitar?
The electric guitar is heavier, the acoustic is hollow, both can be plugged into amps acoustics but might not be able to, they have six strings... That's all I can say...
Do bass guitar amps work for electric guitars?
Yes, but they don't sound as good.
Why can't you use acoustic guitar strings on an electric guitar?
In general, they're thicker gauge and under higher tension. ================== Also, acoustic guitars are much shorter, so there's less room to move. It's like trying to bend a string that's close to the nut or the bridge.
What is another word for guitar?
depends what guitar you mean bass guitar = 4 strings electric guitar = electric often used with Amps Acoustic guitar = most people refer to as normal.
Do electric guitars need amps?
Electric guitars need amps. Amps provide the sound that electric guitars are made to produce. Without the amp, you do not get any sound except vibrating strings. ======================= Not necessarily. Many electric guitars -- especially hollowbodies -- have sound chambers and sound holes, so they'd make acoustic sounds as well. But obviously, if you want the "normal" electric-guitar sounds, you'd need an amplifier. Some guitars actually come with an amplifier built-in, such as the Fernandes Nomad. Others designed for practice can be played with headphones, such as the Traveler guitar.
Can you play a acoustic electric guitar through an electric guitar amp?
Definitely, there isn't really a distinction between electric-acoustic and just electric amps. You can hook up your acoustic to any amp that has a clean setting, which is basically anything. Just don't plug it into a bass amp o_O
Do electric guitar amps plug into wall Like a Marshall MG15CD or a MG30CD do they plug into the wall And if so what kind of cords am I supposed to buy and use?
Guitar amps usually amplify E guitars.
Has the electric guitar been developed any further?
Further from what? First you had the electric Hawaiian guitar. Then the electric Spanish. Then the transition from hollowbody archtops to solidbodies. Single-coil pickups vs. humbuckers. The "modernistic" shapes such as the Flying V and Explorer. Wood vs. synthetic bodies. Headless guitars. The Floyd Rose vibrato. The birth of the acoustic-electric guitar. Guitar synth. Virtual amps and digital modelling. The current revolutions in guitar are digital. Line 6, already a pioneer in digital amp modelling, came first with the Variax, a guitar that offers the sounds of various different instruments like 12-string and banjo. Fender's VG Stratocaster can change tunings and mimic other famous guitars like the Telecaster and humbucker-equipped Gibsons. Gibson's Robot Guitars can tune themselves electronically. Taylor's Expression System offered an amplified sound closer to a natural acoustic guitar than a piezo pickup, and its T5 guitar was a pioneering, widely copied electric-acoustic hybrid. Fishman came up with the Aura Imaging technology, which allows cheaper acoustics to emulate the sound of the most expensive vintage acoustic guitars. And now with the depletion of forests, alternate materials for crafting guitars are being explored, such as the graphite RainSong acoustics and the synthetic, molded, one-piece bodies of Switch guitars.
What instruments are used in punk rock?
Voice, Drums, guitar(s): bass and electric, and sometimes piano/keyboard
Can you start out with an electric guitar or an acoustic guitar?
electric for two main reasons: easier to play you can get thinner strings which are easier on your fingers , the necks tend to be thinner as well so if you don't have big hands this makes things easier to start. You can lower the strings closer to the neck very easily on an electric as well. they are also quieter if you live in an apartment or noise is an issue lets face it none of us are Van Halen or Yngwie Malmsteen good the first year or two learn guitar tabliture fast and scales really do help
Does any amplifier fit all electric guitars?
Absolutely! Beware, however, that you will probably get unwanted feedback from the amplifier if you are using an electric/acoustic guitar. Acoustic amplifiers have circuitry built into them to help negate feedback.
