It's an acoustic guitar. It's days acoustic-electric because you can plug it in to an amp, but it's an acoustic. It's very common, you see it all the time at concerts.

It is an acoustic guitar and does not have a port or any pickups and hence cannot be amplified electrically. You can however add a microphone to the guitar body if you like. That apart if the people gathered are quiet. They should be able to hear no problems. You might consider a larger bodied metallic strings acoustic guitar though, if you just want to strum along with songs. :) Hope this helps.

its electric you plug it into the wall glad to help, but i also warn you that it does not have great distortion and its only for beginners . the more you play guitar the more you will have an ear for what sounds good and your gonna wanna get a new amp eventually.

You can practice with it, but very little sound. It's not necessary, but it's really made to be played through an amp. It would be the same if you didn't plug in an electric bass guitar. Thanks Sam.

The acoustic simulator pedal on there has a decent clean sound to it. It's not as rich or full sounding as a real acoustic would be obviously. I haven't tried using an acoustic electric through it so I can't speak on that part. This video may help give you a good idea of what it sounds like with acoustic simulation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2w90ODqvSA

You can play without one, but the volume will be even less than a solidbody electric. If you want to really even hear yourself play, I'd recommend at least a small amp. A pignose works well with mine, and is a good, cheap, versatile amp. Hope this helps.

I would recommend wiring for 2ohm setup. @ 1ohm it might be pushing the speakers to the limit. Power acoustic amps are inexpensive because they have a lot of distortion so don't Max them out. I'm running 3 @ 2.6 ohms on a hifonics 1500w and they bang!

Yes you will still need an amp. I have 100 watts on mine and it sounds great, very punchy.

No it does not have to be electric. It plays just fine acoustically. To plug it in to an amplifier and play you need to have a battery to power the electrics.

It doesn't absorb any sound. You'll still hear the acoustic-electric just as loud as you would with nothing plugged into it. This device just simulates an amp's loudness and settings with headphones on.

You dont, but definitely sounds better with a clean 50 watt or high per channel amp. I have them in 2 cars one right off the head unit and the other off an alpine 4 X 50 watt amp.

Plug directly in, it will sounds the same as anything else you plug into the RCA jacks of the amp. Just make sure you have the correct adaptor and it will sound awesome.

Take it out of the box, tune it and it sounds great without any adjustments. I have amplifiers but like my electric/acoustic guitars I usually prefer it unplugged.

Do not ever plug a bass into this. Bass is too strong an will blow the speaker almost immediately. I learned this lesson on a more powerful amp than this. Not enough wattage and too small of a speaker for that application

You can play it without an amp or with one. That is the good thing about acoustic electric instruments. Acoustically, it still sounds pretty good, too.

It is only slightly heavier than an acoustic. Just remember that it is electric, and it is cheap! For what it is I got plenty of use out of mine. You can turn up amp effects and rock the house or like me, I practice in hotel rooms without disturbing vermin.
