Yes, there are guitars that are both acoustic and electric. These are called hybrid guitars. They are typically acoustic guitars that have been modified to also be able to be plugged into an amplifier.
In short, yes you can learn guitar in three months, but it takes a lot of dedication and practice. How much you can learn in that time frame really depends on how much time you’re willing to put in and how quickly you want to learn. If you want to learn the basics of guitar in three months, you should expect to practice for at least a few hours each day. You’ll need to be patient and consistent in your practice, and be willing to put in the extra effort to reach your goals. It’s important to
If you have the motivation, you can definitely teach yourself electric guitar. You'll find a ton of resources online and in guitar magazines to help you get started. You might also want to consider taking some lessons from a local guitar instructor to help you get started.

The Yamaha FG700 has excellent reviews and ratings for beginners and has great overall quality and overall sound, especially for the price. I only recently purchased this guitar and, not knowing much about guitars or really knowing much about quality or anything, I did a lot of research to find the best purchase for a beginner guitarist. When I came across the Yamaha FG800, which was touted as an advance of the 700, I did a little more study, comparing instruments and other things to make sure I didn't buy something that was built out of cardboard and shoe strings. I did some reading, and although though there weren't as many reviews, it was claimed to have better durability and sound for the same price. Knowing that Yamaha has often been of fairly high quality, I followed my gut and purchased this guitar. It sounds amazing and is simple to play and learn on. Having played for a month, I already know two songs of my own choosing and taste by heart. Even though I don't know much about guitars, I'll tell anyone who cares and reads this review that it was a wonderful purchase and a good experience; I have no problems, and it both sounds and looks stunning in my opinion. I gave it five stars and verbally endorsed it to others.

I bought this to replace my 15-year-old acoustic guitar. With the purchase, I am beyond happy. Excellent craftsmanship was used throughout, with no gaps or extra glue around joints. At any budget, let alone $200, the sturdy sitka spruce top is an extremely desirable attribute. The DG800 has simplistic aesthetics, and the painted graphic on the head stock will wear off over time. The general fit and quality of this guitar, which are both great for a guitar costing under $1,000, are unaffected by this, though.The design of this instrument is one of its best qualities. The guitar is rather lightweight and has a good neck-to-body proportion, making it simple to play when seated. The neck is of utmost importance. The neck has a compound neck design and a matte finish that make playing incredibly smooth even with moist palms. The neck is somewhat flat and narrow closer to the body, which makes barre chords and individual notes more comfortable to play. The form changes into a deeper, rounder rectangle as you get closer to the head, which fits well in the hand and provides excellent comfort and support for playing open chords. I can't emphasize enough how easy and pleasant it is to play this neck. The more U-shaped profile of my prior acoustic is completely different from this one.All of the aforementioned enhance the instrument's superb sound. The treble is crisp and pleasant, and the bass is responsive. This is a fantastic deal as a whole. This guitar is the best value out there, in my view, just because of the neck design. This guitar competes favorably with instruments that cost $500 more in terms of tone, fit, and design. This guitar should be on your list of guitars to try out if you're looking for an acoustic under $700.

REVISION #1 (includes new info on changing the tuning pegs) I'll shortly be updating on how to completely wirelessly control this tiny guitar.This guitar was purchased for my 7-year-old son.What I enjoy:1) A child 10 years old or younger should wear 3/4 size. You might want to try a 7/8 parlor size guitar for children aged 10 to 13. Don't hesitate to purchase a 3/4 size guitar because it is the ideal adult travel guitar and you will retain it for life out of convenience.2) When connected to an amp, sound equals that of guitars that cost hundreds of dollars or more. No other guitar manufacturer in this price bracket comes close to Yamaha's remarkable results, which they achieve using patented technology in their pickups.3) Sound quality for a little guitar is surprisingly good when not plugged in. Of course, if you're hoping for a 3/4-sized guitar to have the same acoustic sound as a jumbo or parlor guitar, you'll be disappointed because that's not possible. But for a 3/4 size guitar in this price category, it's as excellent as it gets, and I'll compare the acoustic sound of this small guitar to any 3/4 in this price range.3) Has a tuner integrated into it. You don't know what you're missing until you've had one. Never again will I purchase a guitar without one, especially one for a novice.4) Cutaway designs are significantly more contemporary than traditional boxes that do not have cutaways, and they make it much simpler to reach the lower frets.It is available in black, which my daughter adores.6) Has extra low action that is pre-set at the manufacturer, making it easy to play, which is crucial, especially for novices. To make it even simpler to play, you might even wish to add a few extra light (it already has light gauge) strings.7) Nothing compares to Yamaha quality. My friend's $1,000 Martin box split when I got back from visiting him because of the dry Las Vegas weather. And no, I don't think guitar humidifiers are necessary since I think a guitar should be built to withstand the elements rather than being so delicate. With the exception of one brand, which is... you got it, Yamaha, my friend and fellow veteran musician who has worked at Guitar Center here in Las Vegas for many years has seen them all come back over time due to splitting or warping. Because Yamaha genuinely gives their wood time to cure correctly as opposed to other manufacturers who often hurry their products out the door, you may occasionally find them on backorder. Additionally, this guitar will be used by my child and for travel, so it must be incredibly durable and well-made.The evil always follows the good. Yamaha had to make certain sacrifices in order to fit so much value into this little compact.What I find offensive:1) If you want to retain this instrument for a while and make it genuinely playable, you should plan on replacing the tuning keys (also known as machine heads) as soon as possible and throwing the others away as far as you can. Shame on Yamaha; at the very least, you could have used some half-decent tuners! These are a disgrace to your reputation. Therefore, I swapped mine out for Grover Sta-Tite V97-18NA tuners, which are the greatest ($40) for any guitar, especially this one, and have brass-colored gear. Be aware that you will also need to replace the Yamaha bushings since, regrettably, the Grover bushing O.D. is too tiny for the holes in the Yamaha headstock and the I.D. of the Grover bushing is too small for the Grover post. Kluson MBG65N or B bushings are the appropriate bushings that will enable an effortless, proper fit of the Grover tuning pegs to the Yamaha APXT2 (Google it). If you decide to do this yourself rather than having your friendly local luthier do it, be aware that because the factory Yamaha bushings are press fit, doing so may cause the wood on the top of the headstock to splinter. This one change will elevate this guitar from the status of a toy that is trying to compete seriously to the best small guitar money can buy.2) If you play for a while, the neck edges at the fret board can start to hurt your hands because they are not rounded and tend to be fairly harsh. This is typically where guitar manufacturers cut corners on their entry-level models, and Yamaha didn't disappoint. But a luthier may easily correct it by using sandpaper to smooth out the jagged edges and, if necessary, dressing the fret ends. Additionally, if you have a steady hand, good vision, and a women's fingernail file, the remedy is simple. The fret board is solid wood and the same color throughout, so it didn't even need touch-up paint after I used a fingernail file to round the edges of the neck. She feels like a dream now, and I can play all day without worrying that my hand will cut into the razor neck edge. Instead, my hand simply glides up and down the neck as it should.3. Had a slight fret buzz on the high E, but that was likely more my fault than anything else because I switched from light gauge strings to extra lights, which often necessitates releasing the neck adjustment. Since the strings on this guitar are light gauge out of the box, if you add more lights, the neck will likely tend to straighten out excessively, bringing your strings closer to the frets and occasionally causing fret buzz. However, there is a simple solution. All you need to do is place a straight edge like an aluminum yardstick on the neck or hold down the strings on the first and last frets, and you should have a tiny gap (between 1/64" and 1/32") between the frets and strings in the middle of your fret board. In other words, contrary to popular opinion, the neck IS NOT supposed to be exactly straight; rather, it should have a very tiny dip in the middle. To eliminate the fret buzz on my guitar, I had to loosen the neck adjustment by roughly 3/4 of a turn. And keep in mind not to anticipate rapid benefits when adjusting the neck. Allow the neck some time to adapt, making small adjustments at a time, and then wait a few hours or so before testing it again. Yamaha keeps their action fairly low at the nut, so if you still experience fret chatter after adjusting the neck, it's most likely there. If so, it should be simple to correct by placing a piece of paper beneath the thread at the nut.In conclusion:So even though the Yamaha APXT2 might not be the finest guitar for your needs, you WILL NOT find the ideal instrument in this price range. You couldn't say the same for other brands, but at least Yamaha offered us a starting point. With a few minor adjustments here and there, you can create the ideal small guitar. In contrast to my more expensive full-size guitars, which I purchased for my child, I find myself picking this one up and playing it more frequently. Having it around the house is just enjoyable; prior to my modifications, it wasn't. Nothing is worse than owning a guitar that is more akin to a toy than a professional guitar.

As a first-time online music instrument purchaser, I was concerned about whether everything would arrive as described and in good condition. I've purchased a number of accessories for my other guitars online, but this was my first guitar purchase. For the price, the guitar's tone and quality are now rather excellent. The thin-line body was something I was seeking to add to my collection of acoustics, and I enjoy the way the fret board feels. 4 out of 5 stars due to a few minor issues that I was able to solve right away. One, have an extra high E string on hand. This guitar package comes with an extra set of strings. After tuning the guitar to standard tuning and playing for just a few minutes to let the strings stretch, I sat it down and went to handle another household task. When I returned, I discovered the high E string had split by the tuning stem. Since I replaced the string, everything has worked out perfectly, which was around a week ago when I initially got my order. Two, when I attempted to plug in the chord to test the electric side, I discovered that the plug was incredibly slack. I had to tighten the loose nut that secures the plug-in base. With the exception of those little details, I'm therefore generally happy with my purchase, and I look forward to playing this instrument for many years to come.

This guitar was going to receive four stars from me. But in terms of the price, this is unquestionably a five star purchase. I got a gorgeous Jameson acoustic/electric guitar that sounds amazing for less than $100. Steel adjustable keys, no neck bow, gorgeous all around, and a guitar that sounds like a $400 instrument for LESS than a bill. Order this, even if you are an expert left hand guitarist. You won't regret having an extra acoustic electric guitar on hand, even if you already have what you need. Both with electricity and without, it performs flawlessly.Surprisingly, the sound is unaffected by its relative shallowness. The small build and full-bodied tone give it more personality.Even though I play with my right hand, I can play the first position chords with my left hand because I am fairly ambidextrous. The activity lower down also seemed to be going well. How come I bought this? You never know when you're going to have a lefty over, and I need my brain exercise, so it's wonderful to have around! DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY.

This portable guitar is simply fantastic, superbly made, and exceptionally well designed. summarized below.Stethoscope is just a really clever idea and works quite well when playing acoustic. Full length, wood fretboard. Real strings (this one comes with D'Addario strings pre-installed). Solid, wood body. Decent volume without plugging it in or using the stethoscope. 1/4" jack that does fit a Vox AC30 portable headphone amp for playing electric. Guitar strap attachment so you can play standing up. Easy to tune (and I believe all six strings are tightened by turning the knobs clockwise) Nice travel case with padding, a pouch to store the stethoscope and anything else you need, carry handles, and a shoulder strap. Wooden attachment so you can put it on your leg to play sitting down, which is comfortable and sturdy. Overall, the design is nice, tidy, fashionable, and well-thought-out. The construction and fit/finish are really good.Due to its placement and the cable that emerges nearby, the 1/4" jack is a little restricted. The Vox AC30 would sometimes slowly unplug while I was playing because it wouldn't go in completely until it securely clicked. Same thing happened when I connected it to my amplifier with a 1/4" wire. One star less because of this irritation. Wood makes it rather heavy, which isn't great for transport but should also make it more durable. reasonably pricey.This travel guitar is more expensive than my Yamaha A1R acoustic/electric, but it is so beautifully made, useful, and simple to carry around when you travel that it is easily worth the somewhat hefty price. This is especially helpful for beginning guitarists who need to practice while traveling in order to keep their fingers flexible and calluses hard. In a nutshell, this is a fantastic device that was brilliantly executed on the basis of a terrific idea. The only drawback is the rather shallow 1/4" jack.Still, it's strongly advised!

For my daughter, a beginner who is 37 and a mother of 4, I bought this guitar kit. I didn't know what to anticipate for the extremely low price I paid, but I was astonished by this instrument's high quality and beauty. The amp is much bigger and better than I anticipated, the movement is flawless, and the frets were not from all sharp. Actually, the gig bag is a wonderful, padded bag. Why not adore it? The guitar generated throaty tones and was strung with good strings that were rather light. It has multi-ply binding on the front, back, and fretboard.

I was anxious about the package protection when I ordered a guitar online, but my worries were unfounded. The sturdy guitar case containing the guitar was encased in numerous layers of bubble wrap and cartons. The guitar came undamaged and in excellent shape.The guitar practically fits perfectly inside the case, which offers excellent protection and appears to have been specifically created for Lava Me 2. Additionally, it includes 3 distinctive exquisite picks in a glass pick container that may be displayed.I adore how exotically distinctive and stylish the instrument is, in contrast to the typical guitars we see. The timbre of the carbon fiber guitar is distinctive and pleasing; it is comparatively clearer and resonant than that of most conventional wooden guitars. The movement on the guitar is remarkably low, providing incredible comfort and making it perfect for beginners.I had a lot of fun experimenting with the pickup because it has a variety of effect possibilities and is simple to use. It delivers a medium output with a beautiful, clean tone.Overall, it's a stunning instrument that's perfect for travel. It has a "amp built in" and a "effects processor built in." The instrument and the case are both surprisingly lightweight. If you enjoy carrying your guitar around, this is your best option.

If you have an acoustic-electric guitar, you can play it without the amp. However, it will not have the same sound as it would if you were using the amp. The acoustic-electric guitar is designed to be played with an amp, so it will not sound as good without one.
You can play electric guitar without an amp by using an acoustic-electric guitar or by using a guitar with active pickups. Acoustic-electric guitars have a built-in preamp and an output jack that allows you to plug the guitar into an amplifier or PA system. Active pickups have a preamp built into the guitar that amplifies the signal before it is sent to the amplifier.
If you want to use electric strings on an acoustic guitar, you can do so without any problems. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that the electric strings will be a bit thinner than the acoustic strings, so you may need to adjust the truss rod a bit to compensate for the change in tension. Other than that, there's no reason why you can't use electric strings on an acoustic guitar.
Do electric guitars sound good unplugged? Some people say that electric guitars sound better unplugged because they are not being amplified by an electric guitar amplifier. This can allow the true sound of the guitar to be heard without being distorted by the amplifier. Others say that electric guitars sound terrible unplugged because they are not meant to be played without being amplified.
It takes a minimum of 10,000 hours to master anything. So if you want to master the guitar it will take at least 10,000 hours of practice.
If you're a beginner looking for an acoustic-electric guitar, you might be wondering if this type of guitar is a good option for you. The answer is that it depends on what you're looking for in a guitar. Acoustic-electric guitars are a great option for beginners because they offer the best of both worlds: the warm, natural sound of an acoustic guitar with the flexibility and versatility of an electric guitar. One thing to keep in mind is that acoustic-electric guitars can be more expensive than either acoustic or electric guitars, so it's important to do your research and
