Acoustic-Electric Guitars

An acoustic-electric guitar is a standard acoustic guitar that has a pickup or microphone built into the guitar itself. This saves the player from having to either buy their own pickup for their acoustic guitar or mic up their acoustic guitar every time they play a show.

Acoustic-electric guitars are a great choice for beginners. Acoustic-electric guitars come in a variety of price ranges and shapes, including those that are best for newer players. Beginners might especially be interested in an acoustic-electric guitar bundle, many of which come with a strap, tuner, strings, and case or gig bag.

The only difference between a completely acoustic guitar and an electric-acoustic guitar is that the electronic pickups are built within the acoustic-electric guitar. Often, an acoustic-electric guitar will also have a tuner built into the side and will sometimes require a battery.

A well-made acoustic guitar will sound just like an acoustic guitar with a pickup that makes it louder. The sound of an acoustic-electric guitar will vary based on the guitar’s body shape, quality of components used, quality of manufacture, and the pickups used.
