    Re: What would happen if I plugged an acoustic guitar into an electric amplifier?

    I'm a big fan of trying things first hand always. Depending on the variables, sometimes it works great, and sometimes it doesn't.

    And usually, it's about the EQ. Electric amps have a richer EQ than a PA, keyboard, or acoustic amp. So, play with the EQ until it sounds right, and make sure you don't get feedback. That's the first approach.

      Great playing, but you have to admit, that would have sounded a lot better on a Strat!

            I admit nothing. Actually, I like Monte's stuff on acoustic . . . it sounds great to my ear with the piezos.

Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

              Howdy,

              It may be comparative "ancient history" for some, but John Lennon frequently recorded his Gibson jumbo acoustic plugged into an AC-30 ( mostly an AC-30) for many of The Beatles' hits. You've heard "I Feel Fine"? It's do-able, alright.
