Electro-acoustic guitars are fitted with a pickup with is immensely handy when performing live. A conventional type of pickup is the piezo electric which relies on its own battery power supply, housed in a pre-amp usually located on the side of the guitar. This type of guitar is ideal for live performance as well as the studio!
This type of guitar offers the best of both worlds - you can play them unplugged just like any ordinary acoustic, or plug it to a P.A. system or acoustic guitar amp when performing live. Unlike traditional acoustics, they often have a cutaway design, which gives the player easier access to the upper frets.
The pre-amp section usually has a built-in volume control often with an EQ to bring out the tone of the guitar. Body shapes include jumbo, parlour, dreadnought and are available as 12-string options. We’ve got you covered with all kinds of electro acoustics here at PMT. We also stock many left-handed models.
It's important to notice that Electro-Acoustics and Semi-Acoustics are two different beasts altogether. Semi-Acoustic guitars are in fact electric guitars - with a hollow or semi-hollow body for more acoustic resonance, but which still require to be plugged. An Electro-Acoustic guitar is first and foremost an acoustic guitar like any other and can be played unplugged, but they happen to also come equipped, as we mentioned previously, with a pickup system so they can be plugged into PA or amp if needs be.
