Yes, you can plug an Electric Guitar into an acoustic amplifier. But I would suggest that you don't play at a high volume for a long period of time of the difference in impedence - an acoustic guitar (and bass and vocals) is low impedence, where an electric guitar (& keyboard) is high impedence.

Is acoustic guitar different from electric guitar?

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)

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.


How do you use a electric guitar?

Pick it up, rest it on your lap with strings facing away from you and the head of the guitar to your left (if a right handed guitar and vice versa if left). Plug into an amplifier, turn on amplifier, strum the strings. You have used an electric guitar. You may also use it for wife beating.
