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.
