It says Acoustic Electric, Does that mean its an amplified acoustic, Or can you shred on this with some distortion like a typical electric guitar

It's really just an acoustic guitar that has a 1/4" jack so I can be plugged into an amp. You couldn't really shed with any distortion on this because it only has one pickup.Does this help?

an acoustic-electric is designed (by way of its electronics, string-type, hollow body, etc.) to sound like an acoustic when played through an amp on a clean channel. of course if you hook up effects or crank the distortion you'll get a version of those sounds, too, only it'll come out very differently-- generally not in a good way-- than what you're used to hearing from a standard electric.

It has fine acoustics without plugging it in at all. If you really have your heart set on using it as an electric, one of the small Fender amps will work fine. You just don't need it

I don't own/play an electric (mine are acoustic/electric), but I believe it WILL work without amplifying your guitar. It works based on vibration.

This violin does play as an acoustic. The sound is comparable to the loaner instrument my daughter was using at school. You just play it as a normal violin to play it as an acoustic, but you will need an amp and cable to use the electric feature. Hope this is helpful.

The neck is standard (a little slim). If you were blind you would think its a full size guitar. It does NOT sound normal without an amp. It is great as a "silent" guitar to pratice with, but you need a headphone amp, like a VOX AmplPlug. If you do plug it into a practice amp (like a Cube, 10w marshall, pignose etc.) it will sound great, it also sounds great in full size amps.

Personally I have only been taking lessons for 8 months now. I heard about this guitar from a friend of mine who has been playing for years and was in a band. He raved about this guitar which made me try it. I have had mine since May and I love it. I am really surprised how good it sounds and looks. It is a full size guitar however for an acoustic it is on the thin side. I did take this guitar to my local guitar shop and had them lower the action which made it so much better for my taste. It sounds good through an amp but I am guessing that is more of an opinion. There are no obvious problems with it. Hope this helps. Personally I have only been taking lessons for 8 months now.

This is a straight acoustic guitar, NO electronics. It is a nice looking guitar, but a little tingy. My daughter still picks it up even though she has a newer larger guitar.

No, because it's acoustic/electric. I have never played a straight electric so I don't know how loud they can get. You can buy a silencer to dampen the sound but it's still moderately loud.

I don't know about that guitar specifically, but if you're just looking to give a guitar sound, this'll work. It has more of an electric sound, though, not perfectly acoustic.

Much more muted than an acoustic guitar. It is a great guitar but If the sound of an acoustic guitar at is what you want when unplugged, you would be better off looking at an electrified acoustic guitar.

When it's plugged, you can make it an amplified acoustic sound or the electric sound. Not plugged, it sounds like a beginner guitar, which is fine!

This is a passive pickup. You will need to purchase a pre-amp to amplify it. I suggest the LR Baggs Para-acoustic, which I personally use. It works wonderfully.

It's not too bad for a thinline acoustic. Bear in mind, it's made to be played through an amp. That being said, it's no worse sounding than most guitars in the $250-300 range. Hope this helps.

It's a classical (nylon string) acoustic guitar but more important, it's a toy, not a real guitar. Buy a guitar at a music store and nowhere else.
