The Acoustic-Electric Guitar

If you have the urge to buy an acoustic-electric guitar but don’t know a good one from an average one, here are a few pointers on making your choice. If you already have some experience with acoustic or electric guitars, you might have some questions about how to judge the quality of the acoustic-electric.

To make your decision, think about what you are going to do with your new guitar. Is it going to serve as an acoustic that can be plugged in or as an electric with an acoustic-y sound? You could take a look at some of the Takamine guitars with the laminated top. Very good sounding electric guitars. Or if you are going to be switching styles a lot, try out some of the guitars in the Alvarez Artist series.

If you want to have a guitar that sounds more acoustic than electric, avoid the Ibanez and Epiphone brands. Another brand I should mention is Washburn which has a varied line of acoustic-electric guitars including the EA16 Festival, Washburn EA20SDL Festival, and Washburn D10SCEDL Solid-Top Cutaway acoustic-electric Guitars.

Here’s a Washburn demo:
