You can use any Electric Guitar just like an acoustic, but the main differences are the action (string distance from the neck) and possibly the width of the neck. Electric Guitars may have narrower necks and the action height is usually closer to the neck. Action can be adjusted in electric guitars. As far as I know, all electric guitars have steel strings with varying thicknesses for flexibility. Some acoustic guitars have nylon for the same purpose.

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 is the difference of sound on a acoustic guitar to an electric guitar?
depends on the amplifier settings for electric vs acoustic. if neither guitar has any electricity going through it to the untrained ear all you will hear is a subtle difference in volume with an electric guitar plugged in and distortion more aggressive and fuzzy I guess would be a good way to put it.

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.

What is the difference between an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar?
There are many differences:An electric guitar can be plugged into an amp, while an acoustic guitar can't.An acoustic guitar has a completely different sound. It produces it sound through natural sound amplification while an electric guitar uses electronic pick-ups as well as an electronic amplifier to produce its sound.Acoustic guitars are always hollow, while the majority of electric guitars are solid.An acoustic guitar is much more portable because it is lighter and doesn't need a heavy amp to produce sound.Acoustic guitars are generally larger in size. They require a larger body to produce their amplified sound. The sound the acoustic guitar produces is much more dependent on the body size, types of wood used and shape of the body than the electric guitar is.Electric guitars are generally designed with slimmer necks/bodies and have easier access to higher frets.Also, if you want an acoustic sound while also being able to make it louder, you can attach a pick-up to it to make an electric-acoustic guitar or you can just buy an electric-acoustic guitar from the start.
