Electro-Acoustic

An electro-acoustic guitar is an acoustic guitar equipped with built-in electronics—usually a pickup and preamp—that allow it to be easily amplified without losing its natural, warm acoustic tone. This makes it perfect for live performances, recording, or playing with a band, where projecting sound clearly is essential. Electro-acoustics offer the best of both worlds: the rich, resonant sound of an acoustic with the convenience and versatility of electric amplification. Many models also include onboard tone controls and tuners, giving players more control over their sound on stage or in the studio.
