Do electric guitars need amps

Answer 1

Electric Guitars need amps. Amps provide the sound that electric guitars are made to produce. Without the amp, you do not get any sound except vibrating strings. ======================= Not necessarily. Many electric guitars -- especially hollowbodies -- have sound chambers and sound holes, so they'd make acoustic sounds as well. But obviously, if you want the "normal" electric-guitar sounds, you'd need an amplifier. Some guitars actually come with an amplifier built-in, such as the Fernandes Nomad. Others designed for practice can be played with headphones, such as the Traveler guitar.

Answer 2

not really, you could just use a regular amps clean channel

and pretty much get a good acoustic sound using the same settings.

but it you only play acoustic-electric and not straight up electric,

then might as well get an acoustic amp because it would definitely sound better.

still most of the time Electric Guitar amps have reverb and that would be good enough.

Answer 3

Yes you can play any type of guitar without an Amp the amp only amplifies the sound or makes it louder. In the case of an electro-acoustic (an acoustic guitar with a piezo pickup under the bridge) the instrument should sound like any other acoustic guitar unplugged.

Answer 4

No, but otherwise other people wont be able to hear it. If you want to use it at a house or indoors you don't need one.

Answer 5

just the guitar because the amp u get the package tends to short circuit faster than if u buy it separate and a good quality brand

Answer 6

You will need some form of amp if it's an electric, or you and everyone else will have big trouble hearing what you play. Stand up bass is loud enough in small room settings.
