Yes. It has a very nice Fishman preamp. Pair the guitar with a Fishman Loudbox Mini amp for a really nice setup.

Yes Carol - it is an acoustic/electric guitar. What's more the electronics are made by Fishman, a leader in the field, and it also comes with an on-board digital tuner. I highly recommend this instrument, and I have been playing guitar for 40 years.

It sounds just as good for $50 as it did on my electric. But hey! Just got the WET reverb yesterday. .. beautiful man.Biyang reverb will be fine with acoustic electric/electric till you get something better! Hope this helps!

That's difficult to answer. IMO this guitar's greatest strengths are the pickups but the acoustic sound, construction and playablility are still well above average. Best thing is to go to your local dealer to demo it and then decide. See my review dated January 10, 2014.

Yes. It is. We've had this for 6 months now for my 6 year old son who takes lessons. So far this guitar has been a great beginner guitar. It rarely slips out of tune after practice making the next practice with the teacher get started with minimal tuning. We are happy with this choice.

Yes it is a metal string acoustic guitar. I am not sure if the metal is steel but I would assume so. And it is indeed very beautiful

READ THE REVIEWS This particular model comes with acoustic strings, and if you plug into an "acoustic" amplifier, or use a modeling pedal/pod with an acoustic option, it DOES sound like a typical acoustic/electric. There is a model with a Stethescope with hollow tubes so you can actually listen to the guitar (louder) without the need for a headphone amp or combo amp. It has a 1/4 jack that you plug in a VOX AmpPlug or similar headphone amp.

Good Morning Mike, You have the option of either playing it as an Acoustic or Electric . When it is not being used with an Amp it has Deep Rich Sound and is an awesome piece of Musical Equipment. When it is Plugged into an amp you have a wide range of different Sound that you can Achieve such as Distortion and Overdrive for that Heavy Metal moment when you want, or with a few tweaks of the onboard controls you can have a Clean Classic Bass Sound and even a slapping Funk Sound as well. The Pick up in this Guitar is indeed an awesome one. this is a Bass that you will come to love and will indeed become your Favorite Guitar..

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.

Electric! It's a good deal for a starter guitar. The only thing I needed to change was the cord from guitar to amp. It's an elbow connector at one end and wore out quickly. Invest in a cord with straight connectors at each end!About $10 bucks at Guitar Center.

Not sure why it's says for electric, it's bas for acoustic, I only use it for acoustic and it works great. I recommend it.

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.

Yeah. It is an acoustic that is plugged to an amp. It sounds just like an acoustic, just amplified.

Yep, it sure is. I got this as a gift for my son in law who wanted to use it with a video game to learn to play the guitar. He didn't want to commit to an expensive guitar in case he couldn't play. It was really nice I thought for a beginner guitar.

It is assembled. It is not tuned. I suggest you purchase an electronic tuner for acoustic guitars. I can also recommend Free online beginner lessons from Mary Schwartz. He is excellent for beginners. Check him out on You Tube.

It does come with a cable that is wired into the pickup. It's a nice length and I played it as is for a while. I later bought a quarter inch jack, cut off the end of the cable and soldered it to the jack. It acts like an acoustic/electric now. I had someone commenting on the quality of the sound just last night.
