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.
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.
Is a resonator guitar a type of acoustic guitar with metal cones?
This is exactly correct. Yes, Resonator Guitars are a type of acoustic guitar, and they do have metal cones as opposed to sound boards. They were made to be louder than typical acoustic guitars.
What are acoustic guitars used for?
An acoustic pickup is used to amplify an acoustic guitar. Instead of amplifying an acoutic guitar's sound via a microphone, an acoustic pickup can be mounted on the guitar over the soundhole to provide sound amplification.
Does all acrostic guitars sound the same?
I assume the question is about acoustic guitars. But the answer is no. Acoustic guitars sound very different to someone with a trained ear. To the uninitiated yes they will sound very similar but the make, the wood it's constructed with, the year and the strings on a guitar will make it sound very different from another. Some guitars have a bright clean sound others a more earthy and almost organic sound. That's why when buying one find your price range and play at least every single one they have.
Can electric guitars have the acoustic sound?
Electric guitars can never have that truly acoustic sound. There are many effects pedals and sound simulations that attempt to mimic the tone of an acoustic guitar but they never do sound quite the same.
What are the uses of the electric guitars?
to make a better sound than acoustic guitars
Do classical guitars and regular acoustic guitars sound the same?
No. A classical uses nylon strings that are softer than the steel strings found on an acoustic. The acoustic produces a brighter, sharper sound.
How does a guitar create sound?
All guitars create sound by the vibration of strings under tension. The pitch of the sound is a function of the string thickness, density, length and tension. Acoustic guitars amplify the string vibrations by coupling the vibrations mechanically to a hollow box. Electric guitars amplify the string vibrations by coupling the vibrations magnetically to a coil of wire to produce electicity which is passed to an electric amplifier and loudspeaker. Electric guitars must use strings made of metals with magnetic properties (e.g. Steel), while acoustic guitars may use strings made of non-magnetic materials (e.g. Nylon).

What is the use of acoustic guitar?
Acoustic guitars are just another type of guitar with a different sound and are usually played for a country song.

Do an guitar have strings?
Yes. There are two kinds of strings - nylon strings for the classical style of guitar, and steel string for the acoustic and also the electric guitar. It is most common for guitars to have 6 strings, with the lowest toned string at the top of the guitar (when held in playing position). There are, however, 12 stringed guitars, where each of the 6 strings has another string next to it which is tuned an octave higher than its counterpart. This gives a very full, lush sound, such as the sound of the acoustic guitar in The Eagles song, "Hotel California" or in David Bowie's "Space Oddity".
What is the difference between acoustic guitars and acousic-electric guitars?
Acoustic guitar is what it says acoustic, none electric makes the sound from the guitar body/chamber. Acoustic/electric or electro acoustic look the same as an acoustic but have a pic-up fitted inside the body to link to an amplifier. A Semi acoustic guitar looks more like an electric guitar but with a hollow body or chambered body with pick-ups mounted on the sound board of the guitar.
