To put a basic piezo bridge pickup and jack in an acoustic guitar will cost you - parts and labor - about $125 and up. It's cheaper to do it yourself, but I DO NOT recommend that.
On an electric guitar, what you are hearing are the strings vibrating; on an acoustic, this effect is carried around the hollow cavity in the guitar, which is then channeled out of the sound hole, it is this effect that gives an acoustic guitar so much more output than a strictly electric guitar.
There are many differences:An electric guitar can be plugged into an amp, while an acoustic guitar can't.An acoustic guitar has a completely different sound. It produces it sound through natural sound amplification while an electric guitar uses electronic pick-ups as well as an electronic amplifier to produce its sound.Acoustic guitars are always hollow, while the majority of electric guitars are solid.An acoustic guitar is much more portable because it is lighter and doesn't need a heavy amp to produce sound.Acoustic guitars are generally larger in size. They require a larger body to produce their amplified sound. The sound the acoustic guitar produces is much more dependent on the body size, types of wood used and shape of the body than the electric guitar is.Electric guitars are generally designed with slimmer necks/bodies and have easier access to higher frets.Also, if you want an acoustic sound while also being able to make it louder, you can attach a pick-up to it to make an electric-acoustic guitar or you can just buy an electric-acoustic guitar from the start.
You should just give it away. If you provide so little information about your guitar, (electric /acoustic); make; model; year: condition. You are too stupid to own a guitar. You are too stupid to have money.

The keyboard is an electric instrument. Pretty much instrument that plugs in is an electric instrument, with exceptions to the acoustic-electric guitar.
The big difference between these types of guitar is that an electric is much quieter than an acoustic. In a high school class full of teenagers a student with an electric guitar will not be able to be heard by the teacher. This is a BIG detriment to one's progression with the instrument. Most classes require an acoustic guitar but technically you can still learn in a group setting with a quieter 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.

In a standard acoustic guitar, the vibrations of the strings are transferred to the body which vibrates the air around it producing sound. This is the final output. The sound cannot be modified or amplified without considerable noise. In a standard electric guitar, the vibrations of the strings are converted to electric signals using magnetic pickups. Since the output of an electric guitar is an electric signal, it can be amplified and/or altered. Effects like overdrive, reverb and chorus can be applied to the output signal. An electric guitar can be made to sound like an acoustic guitar using the necessary effect. Techniques like hammer-ons and pull-offs may be extensively used while playing on an electric guitar. Extended playing techniques like finger tapping etc is possible only with an electric guitar. Tremolo arms can be used with electric guitars. Definitely, an electric guitar is much more versatile than an acoustic guitar because of the fact that the output of an electric guitar is purely an electric signal. An electric guitar is cheaper than an acoustic guitar of the same quality because electrics are easier to build than acoustics.

Bass strings are MUCH MUCH thicker. They use more metal to make and are also harder to make.
That is pretty much it. You will need to play each guitar with a different style as acoustic is more strumming patterns. Generally, acoustics have thicker strings too.
