hi there
I love creating free content full of tips for my readers, you. I don't accept paid sponsorships, my opinion is my own, but if you find my recommendations helpful and you end up buying something you like through one of my links, I could earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Learn more
An acoustic-electric guitar is an acoustic guitar with the addition of pickups or other means of amplification, added by either the manufacturer or the player, to amplify the sound coming from the body of the guitar.
This is not the same as a semi-acoustic guitar or hollow-body electric, which is a type of electric guitar that originated from the 1930s. It has both a sound box and one or more electric pickups.
I'm Joost Nusselder, the founder of Neaera and a content marketer, dad, and love trying out new equipment with guitar at the heart of my passion, and together with my team, I've been creating in-depth blog articles since 2020 to help loyal readers with recording and guitar tips.
