hi, i personally think if u want a sound on an Electric Guitar that is acoustic like, u would be best to go for single coil pick-ups from a strat or maybe a Seymour duncan 59 on clean setting or even better if u can find a guitar that has "coil tapping" that's as close as u will get on an electic guitar on a clean channel

Can you convert an acquistic guitar in to an electric?
Well, you can install one of several different kinds of pickups in an acoustic guitar, and then you'll have an acoustic-electric. Passive pickups, like piezo-electric pickups, just sense the vibration of the body of the guitar and sound more natural. Magnetic pickups, like most "soundhole" pickups, are built more like electric-guitar pickups and sense the string vibration. They tend to sound like hollow-body electric guitars. You can mount a standard electric pickup, tone controls, etc. into an acoustic guitar, of course... Some of the earliest "electrics" were made that way.
