What is an acoustic electric guitar?
Acoustic-electric guitars are acoustic styled guitars with a pickup either outside or inside the hollow body. You plug a cable into it like you would a normal electric guitar and it can be used through an amplifier to make the sound louder. They can also be played without being plugged in just like a normal acoustic guitar
Did c g conn make acoustic guitars?
Yes, I believe they were imported from Japan, but I own a C.G. CONN acoustic guitar. It's very old. Conn only made guitars for a few years in the 70's This is a website, or part of one rather, that tells you alot about the Conn guitars. I was wondering about my own Conn Acoustic and started digging on the net. Even without a label inside I was able to do a quick identity. As to individual or re-sale values I was not interested, as the sound from my mid seventies F-21 Saphere is just too rich and full to trade off.
Does a guitar have to have a hole in the center?
I believe you've asked this because you've probably seen a picture of an acoustic guitar, which uses vibrations to create it's trademark sound. When you strum a string on an acoustic guitar, the sound bounces back into the inside of the guitar (by going through the 'hole'), and bounces back out to increase sound. This is similar to when you shout into a cave. But no, guitars can be made without the acoustic hole. For example, an electric guitar needs no hole, because it uses an amplifier to create sound; same with bass guitars. you are so dumb.
Do electric guitars have to be plugged in to be used?
All electric guitars can physically be played without an amplifier, but the amount of actual audible sound produced will vary depending on the type and construction of the instrument. An unplugged solid-body guitar (e.g. a Gibson Les Paul or a Fender Telecaster) will produce enough sound for the player to hear in a quiet environment, but it will not have the characteristic sound of an amplified guitar. Semi-solid guitars with a central sustain block (e.g. Gibson ES-335) will produce a similar unamplified volume to that of a solid-body, but often with more tonal depth, due to the body cavities and soundhole(s). Thinline semi-acoustics (e.g. Epiphone Casino) with a thin fully hollow body will produce more acoustic volume, but nowhere near as much as a full acoustic guitar. Lastly, semi-acoustic jazz-style guitars (e.g. Gibson ES-175) can often be played acoustically; those with a maple top and built-in pickups will tend to produce less acoustic volume and an inferior unamplified tone to guitars with a spruce top and floating pickup(s) and controls, as the latter design has a lighter soundboard which is freer to vibrate. Bass guitars generally produce even less acoustic volume than standard guitars, especially since most modern examples are solid-body instruments. One exception is the so-called "acoustic bass guitar" - this is a comparatively recent invention and is the 4-stringed bass counterpart of a round-hole steel-string guitar. Some models can produce just about enough acoustic volume to accompany a small group of acoustic instruments, although in practice almost all have a built-in pickup for live use.
What is the difference between an electric guitar and a acoustic guitar?
An Electric Guitar has 'Pickups' in it. Pickups are steel bars wrapped with wire that hear the vibrations produced by the strings and send this small signal to an amplifier. E guitars usually have 'solid bodies', the pickups/amplifier are how we hear the sound. Acoustic Guitars have hollow bodies which amplify the vibrations from the strings, similar to a violin, cello, or upright bass. There are also Acoustic/Electic guitars which are hollow body but also have pickups, they have a really nice sound and are useful for playing in front of large audiences where all of the other instruments are amplified.

Where is the acoustic guitar played?
Any guitar without electronic pickups and with a hollow body is considered to be an 'acoustic guitar' Acoustic guitars are best played into a microphone, or played where they can be heard in terms of location. Otherwise Acoustic guitars may be played anywhere.
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.
Do acoustic electric guitars require amplifiers to produce sound?
Yes, acoustic electric guitars can produce sound without amplifiers, but amplifiers are needed to make the sound louder and to adjust the tone and effects.
What are two parts that electric guitars have that acoustic guitars don't?
you'll never see a floyd rose or whammy bar system for that matter on an acoustic , or say electric guitar pickups that are designed specifically for guitars. stoptail pieces for tuneomatics on say les paul guitars locking nuts for floyd roses knobs right on the face of the guitar like an electric on cheap acoustic guitars I've seen them made without trussrods which shocked me
Is an acoustics guitar the same as an electric guitar?
No, an acoustic guitar is one not dependent on an external device to be heard but uses a soundboard which is a wooden piece mounted on the front of the guitar's body, while electric guitars can have solid, semi-hollow, or hollow bodies, and produce little sound without amplification
What are the advantages of using a semi-acoustic guitar in comparison to other types of guitars?
Semi-acoustic guitars offer the advantage of being able to produce both acoustic and electric sounds, making them versatile for different styles of music. They also have a lighter weight and can be played without an amplifier, providing more flexibility for musicians.
What are the advantages of using semi-acoustic guitars in live performances?
Semi-acoustic guitars are beneficial for live performances because they produce a rich, warm sound that can be amplified easily without feedback issues. They also offer versatility in tone and can be played acoustically if needed.
What is the difference between electric guitar and acoustic guitar?
A true acoustic guitar in terms of building is more sophisticated , it is larger too. It has less access to higher frets for most models and are made out of different woods usually for the body. It has no electronics unless you get an "Electric acoustic" like say an Ovation or something like a Fender. They are much , much louder I would not recommend them for apartment buildings especially if you're a beginner. The acoustic is hollow as well. the electric guitar is easier to make , usually it's one piece of mahogany , alder or whatever, smaller in size and thinner. There are more frets , the electronics on them you'll be able to spot a mile away. Without the electronics plugged in it's essentially a fancy acoustic guitar. They are much quieter without an amplifier which is to say excellent to learn on and great for any situation.

What are the threenames of the acoustic guitars?
Dreadnought - regular stringed acoustic guitar Resonator (Dobro) classical guitar - nylon stringed guitar a lap steel guitar without pickups mandolin is very close to a guitar as well
What are the main differences between electric and acoustic guitars in terms of sound quality and playability?
The main differences between electric and acoustic guitars are in their sound quality and playability. Electric guitars produce a louder and more versatile sound due to their ability to be amplified and modified with effects. They are also generally easier to play due to their thinner necks and lower string tension. Acoustic guitars, on the other hand, produce a more natural and resonant sound without the need for amplification. They can be more challenging to play due to their thicker necks and higher string tension.
What are the similarities and differences between the sounds of an electric guitar and an acoustic guitar?
The main similarity between the sounds of an electric guitar and an acoustic guitar is that they both produce music through vibrating strings. However, the main difference is that an electric guitar requires amplification to be heard clearly, while an acoustic guitar produces sound naturally without the need for amplification. Additionally, electric guitars often have a more versatile range of tones due to the use of pickups and effects, while acoustic guitars have a more organic and traditional sound.
