well, the main difference is that an electric one runs off electric. acoustics are made out of wood, and give a nice ntural sound, but do have a tendancy to squeek. electric violins are usually not filled in- they are just the "frame" of a violin. the main pro to electric violins is that you can turn the volume up- but you have to carry around an amp aswell.

It depends on your electric violin.

Is an acoustic violin the same as a violin?
Both violins are good, but it depends on what you like more. Acoustic violins are good if... *you want to play classical music *you don't want to worry with the technical things *you want to just have a common, old fashioned violin Electric violins are good if... *you want to make your own kind of rock/modern genre of music *you are willing to get the deal with the technical things (and buy them) *you want to have a modern, unique violin There are pros and cons with both, but if you want to be simple, get the acoustic. If you want to be futuristic, get the electric. You may even get both! (if you have the money ;) )
