lespaul214 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Ive recently bought an electric acoustic guitar and I was wondering if playing it through a normal electric amp would damage either the guitar or the amp? Any advice from anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swmcv2007 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 It should be fine. Tone-wise I have no idea but I doubt you'll do any damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 First you'll have to ask AXE for permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Only issue I can think of would be feedback, but you should be able to adjust that out with either the guitar's on board EQ or the volume/gain on the amp. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHawk233 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I have used my El/Ac on my peavey 15 watt before, it worked fine, that is until you mess with gain, it works to some point with Gain, but after you stop playing it has horrible feedback due to being hollow.

milod Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I've used both magnetic and piezo type pickups on acoustic guitars through several types of tube amps and, frankly, I like the sound better than through my "acoustic" amp. The acoustic amps seem to carry the highs a little better, but since I use light strings, I kinda like a little more bass and middle. A regular amp does that pretty well. But no way will it hurt the guitar that's I've ever heard of, and I started using an a-e back in the mid '70s. Heck, in those days there was no such thing as an a-e amp. You used a regular amp or a PA mike. The piezo type pickups where just kinda coming in. A lot of otherwise "acoustic" guitars did come fitted with magnetic pickups of various sorts in a transitional phase. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
