∙ 10y agoyou need a special kind of pedal like a synthesizer kind that alters the Guitars sound so much that it sounds like one. Guitar processors have this feature on them and they are filled with other effects such as distortion , gain , chorus and flange to delay and reverb to achieve just about every sound you could want for under 150$ used. Good luck.

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
What sound does the electric guitar produce?
cool and awsome ones that are really cool. If you have a good quality foot pedal it will enhance your sound and make you sound awsome
What instruments are used in urban music?
Urban music uses instruments like electric guitar, keyboard, drums, etc.
Can you convert an acquistic guitar in to an electric?
Well, you can install one of several different kinds of pickups in an acoustic guitar, and then you'll have an acoustic-electric. Passive pickups, like piezo-electric pickups, just sense the vibration of the body of the guitar and sound more natural. Magnetic pickups, like most "soundhole" pickups, are built more like electric-guitar pickups and sense the string vibration. They tend to sound like hollow-body electric guitars. You can mount a standard electric pickup, tone controls, etc. into an acoustic guitar, of course... Some of the earliest "electrics" were made that way.
How can one learn how to play a 'Hamer' guitar?
Hamer guitars are custom made electric guitars. This enables the buyer to specify exactly what they want the guitar to sound like, look like and tune like.
What does an electric acoustic guitar sound like?
a lot like a normal acoustic guitar, but with more options on volume.
Does plugging an acoustic guitar into an amp make it sound like an electric guitar?
It will always sound like an acoustic guitar but the tone might b bad if u play it through an electric guitar amp. it would b better if u just buy an acoustic amp.

How can you make an Acoustic-Electric Guitar like an Epiphone AJ100CE sound like an Electric Guitar?
Well it depends on what you mean by sound like an electric guitar. TO make it sound like an electric guitar in one way you can just plug it in to an amp with distortion and get a sound much like a hollow body guitar. But that's pretty much all you can get out of an acoustic electric ================== One of the main things you'll have to do is restring the guitar with electric strings. There is no way even the lightest acoustic strings will sound remotely like an electric -- the attack is too metallic and hard, and they don't respond to bending and sliding like electric strings. Second is to find the right pickup. Aside from "hybrid" guitars like the Taylor T5, acoustic guitars have pickups that were designed to sound like an acoustic guitar, so their frequency response isn't going to get you electric sounds. Thirdly, I'd try to stuff the soundhole with something. Feedback is a major issue when amplifying an acoustic guitar. Frankly, with modelling technologies, I think electric guitars playing acoustic parts with the aid of special electronics sound better than the other way around, acoustic guitars trying to play electric parts. Some guitars, such as the Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-II, the Peavey Generation Custom and the Parker Fly, have piezo pickups built into their bridges, and the Taylor T5 has both electric-guitar pickups and body sensors, designed to play both acoustic and electric parts well. An overdriven acoustic guitar can have a very interesting sound and work in its own way, but it won't exactly be replicating an electric guitar; it'd be creating its own identity.

What do the pickups of an electric guitar do?
they turn the vibrations from the strings into sound out of the amplifier, their like ears.
What is so fascinating about an electric guitar?
In a standard acoustic guitar, the vibrations of the strings are transferred to the body which vibrates the air around it producing sound. This is the final output. The sound cannot be modified or amplified without considerable noise. In a standard electric guitar, the vibrations of the strings are converted to electric signals using magnetic pickups. Since the output of an electric guitar is an electric signal, it can be amplified and/or altered. Effects like overdrive, reverb and chorus can be applied to the output signal. An electric guitar can be made to sound like an acoustic guitar using the necessary effect. Techniques like hammer-ons and pull-offs may be extensively used while playing on an electric guitar. Extended playing techniques like finger tapping etc is possible only with an electric guitar. Tremolo arms can be used with electric guitars. Definitely, an electric guitar is much more versatile than an acoustic guitar because of the fact that the output of an electric guitar is purely an electric signal. An electric guitar is cheaper than an acoustic guitar of the same quality because electrics are easier to build than acoustics.
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.
