Which strings are best for an electro acoustic guitar?

The best strings to use with an electro acoustic guitar are phosphor bronze because they have a warm sound which interacts nicely with a piezo pickup. Other strings such as 80/20 Bronze can sound brittle when amplified like this.

Can an electro acoustic guitar sound like an electric?

Generally speaking, no. Even if plugged into an electric guitar amplifier, an electro acoustic guitar will still have a distinct acoustic character. That being said, the Fender Acoustasonic Series does exactly that. Thanks to some cutting-edge technology, Acoustasonic guitars are able to modern different acoustic sounds as well as electric guitars.

Can an electro acoustic guitar be played without an amp?

Absolutely! The fact an acoustic is fitted with a pickup shouldn’t detract from its acoustic properties. It’s always the acoustic properties that are most important, even if you know you’ll plug it in most of the time.

Can you learn to play guitar on an electro acoustic?

Yes, whether a guitar has electronics shouldn’t have any effect on how easy it is to play. In actual fact, electro acoustics can often be better to learn on thanks to common features such as cutaways and built-in tuners.

What is an acoustic electric guitar?

Acoustic guitars produce sound from the hollow body of the instrument. Electric guitars create sound from pickups and electric components. An acoustic electric gives you the best of both worlds! It looks the same as an acoustic and gives the same natural sound, but it has the added ability to be plugged into an amplifier or for recording. This is made possible due to a pickup and preamp which are often housed within the guitar itself. These guitars are great for performers who want to amplify their natural acoustic sound.
