Although acoustic Guitars can and do have unique designs, they typically have a hollow frame that naturally amplifies and echos the sound of the strings when they are played without the need for pickups, electronics or amplifiers Contrast that with an electric guitar which typically has a solid wood body that requires electronic pickups and an amplifier to emit a strong soung.

What is an acoustic electric guitar?
Acoustic-electric guitars are acoustic styled guitars with a pickup either outside or inside the hollow body. You plug a cable into it like you would a normal electric guitar and it can be used through an amplifier to make the sound louder. They can also be played without being plugged in just like a normal acoustic guitar

How can an acoustic guitar generally sounds louder than an electric guitar without an electronic amplifier?
An acoustic guitar is hollow, with a sound hole, allowing it the reverberate the sound, and making it louder. An acoustic guitar is always louder than an electric. (When the electric has no amp.) Acoustic is hollow allowing the sound to reflect off the inside and echo producing louder sound waves. (Like an auditorium.) whereas the electric is hard below the strings preventing any echo.

Why does an acoustic guitar generally sound louder than an electric guitar without an electronic amplifier sounds?
On an electric guitar, what you are hearing are the strings vibrating; on an acoustic, this effect is carried around the hollow cavity in the guitar, which is then channeled out of the sound hole, it is this effect that gives an acoustic guitar so much more output than a strictly electric guitar.
What is the difference between an acoustic electric guitar and a standard electric guitar?
An acoustic electric guitar differs from a standard electric guitar in the fact that a standard electric guitar depends solely on the electricity of the amplifier to convert the string vibration. An acoustic electric guitar also has also a microphone which will magnify and convert the sound.
Has a pre amp acoustic guitar another sound without a amp than a normal acoustic guitar?
Usually there is no difference in sound, I play my Ovation electric/acoustic without amplification all the time, it sounds great.Some guitars, like Godin, make "acoustic guitars" that are meant to be played with amplification only, and are not loud enough without it.If you have a traditional acoustic electric you can play it with or without amplification, no problem.
What is the difference between acoustic guitars and acousic-electric guitars?
Acoustic guitar is what it says acoustic, none electric makes the sound from the guitar body/chamber. Acoustic/electric or electro acoustic look the same as an acoustic but have a pic-up fitted inside the body to link to an amplifier. A Semi acoustic guitar looks more like an electric guitar but with a hollow body or chambered body with pick-ups mounted on the sound board of the guitar.

Which is good -acoustic or semi acoustic?
An acoustic guitar produces sound via the "sound hole" cut out in the wood under the strings on the main part of the guitar. This is a nice acoustic sound. For a fuller, higher volume and amplitude sound, with the same acoustic-type sound one would would a semi-acoustic. This is an acoustic guitar that has the same kind of volume boost built in, as one would find on an electric guitar. It is important to note that the sound made with a semi-acoustic is still quite different from an electric guitar, even though one would need an amp to play the semi-acoustic.
