Great guitar! Dubious feelings at first, but this guitar is so easy to play, stays in tune like a Martin, and has a great feel on the neck. Sound is not big, but beautiful for front porch players that want to have fun. Buy it!
What would a Martin custom acoustic serial number 1419578 be worth
His signature,J-180 as acoustic, and a gibson les paul custom as electric.
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.

Progressive finger style guitarist Brad Sayre has a Yamaha APX10 acoustic retrofitted with a Kahler Pro Tremolo System. The guitar was designed and custom rebuilt for Brad by David Bryson. http://www.acousticon.net/ http://acousticon.net/thegear.html http://www.brysonguitars.com/index.html
That depends on the type of guitar you have. I work with Guitars everyday so I see guitars with 12 frets, 14 frets, 17 frets, 21 frets, 23 frets and occasionally I find 24 fret guitars (with the double octave of the open string) the most frets I have seen was a 29 fret electric guitar. The guitar was custom built though. Most commonly, you will find acoustics with probably 14 to 17 frets and electric guitars with 17 to 21 frets.
Extremely expensive. Can run you over a thoursand dollars.
An custom, application-specific electric lift can be built by contacting a local industrial manufacturer specializing in the production of custom workplace machinery.
