Best Answer

The thing that looks like a stick or handle that lies parallel to and on top of the main body of the guitar (when guitar is laid flat) is the whammy bar. This distorts the pitch of the note played, and is often used in soloing.

Can you get an electric sound with an electric acoustic guitar?

No it's just amplified but because it doesn't have the pick ups, the sound is not the same. Yes, depending on the amplifier and the abilities it has. Both have pick-ups built into them. The acoustic typically doesn't have the controls that an electric would have, but some come with a set of sliders on the side that allow you to adjust the effects. Mostly it is done with the amps and boxes in between.
