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.
Why can't you use acoustic guitar strings on an electric guitar?
In general, they're thicker gauge and under higher tension. ================== Also, acoustic guitars are much shorter, so there's less room to move. It's like trying to bend a string that's close to the nut or the bridge.

Has a pre amp acoustic guitar another sound without a amp than a normal acoustic guitar?
Usually there is no difference in sound, I play my Ovation electric/acoustic without amplification all the time, it sounds great.Some guitars, like Godin, make "acoustic guitars" that are meant to be played with amplification only, and are not loud enough without it.If you have a traditional acoustic electric you can play it with or without amplification, no problem.
Is electric guitars easy?

What is a good electric guitar for players used to acoustic?
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.

Are electric guitars played differently than regular ones?
If by regular, you mean acoustic, then yes. Acoustic guitars generally are used for more mellow themed music. Electric guitars can be fully customizable. With the right amp, you can find your favorite sound which could be mellow like an acoustic guitar, or hardcore, like turn the overdrive on and the amp all the way up until you get complaints from your neighbor and start suffering from hearing loss.

What is the difference between an accoustic-electric and and electric guitar?
almost everything: the shape and look the volume difference without an amplifier on an electric is staggering usually electric guitars have thinner necks (esp , jackson , bc rich , ibanez..ect) electric guitars have pickups placed under the strings which is easily identifiable electric guitars are heavier as it's more wood acoustic guitars are hollow made from glued together pieces of wood electric guitars you can adjust the string height and set intonation sound wise it all depends on what two guitars you're comparing so there's no easy answer
How can you make an Acoustic-Electric Guitar like an Epiphone AJ100CE sound like an Electric Guitar?
Well it depends on what you mean by sound like an electric guitar. TO make it sound like an electric guitar in one way you can just plug it in to an amp with distortion and get a sound much like a hollow body guitar. But that's pretty much all you can get out of an acoustic electric ================== One of the main things you'll have to do is restring the guitar with electric strings. There is no way even the lightest acoustic strings will sound remotely like an electric -- the attack is too metallic and hard, and they don't respond to bending and sliding like electric strings. Second is to find the right pickup. Aside from "hybrid" guitars like the Taylor T5, acoustic guitars have pickups that were designed to sound like an acoustic guitar, so their frequency response isn't going to get you electric sounds. Thirdly, I'd try to stuff the soundhole with something. Feedback is a major issue when amplifying an acoustic guitar. Frankly, with modelling technologies, I think electric guitars playing acoustic parts with the aid of special electronics sound better than the other way around, acoustic guitars trying to play electric parts. Some guitars, such as the Epiphone Les Paul Ultra-II, the Peavey Generation Custom and the Parker Fly, have piezo pickups built into their bridges, and the Taylor T5 has both electric-guitar pickups and body sensors, designed to play both acoustic and electric parts well. An overdriven acoustic guitar can have a very interesting sound and work in its own way, but it won't exactly be replicating an electric guitar; it'd be creating its own identity.
