When it comes to amplifying acoustic guitars, the best way is to have an on-board electronics system. After market add-ons like soundhole or piezo pickups are not as good sound wise. Here are my thoughts on particular manufacturer acoustic electric guitars.
Epiphone: Epiphone is a holding of Gibson Guitars. They are known for being a quality instrument that is affordable to the masses. Especially their acoustic electric line of guitars with a price range of 9 to around 9. Their own technicians make the electronics, so each piece is unique to the guitar on which it is installed.
Fender: Now Fender is famous for their electric guitars, but their acoustic electric instruments are just as memorable. With a price range from about 0 to a bit over 5, anybody can have one. Some of the electronics are made on site, but a great many are supplied by Fishman, a well-known electronic manufacturer.
Gibson: What can you say about Gibson acoustic electric guitars that hasn't been said already? Not much except that they include the best workmanship and electronics on the market. Guitar reviews are not complete until a Gibson is mentioned.
Ibanez: Ibanez comes in here surprisingly well. Acoustic electric guitar reviews give high ratings to all Ibanez instruments in this category. Based on an affordable price frame of under 00, even for the high-end pieces, the value is extraordinary; so is the sound.
Martin: Martin is synonymous with acoustic quality as that was the origin of Martin guitars. The patented bracing lends tonal dynamics and Fishman electronics provide superb amplified sound. Powered by Godin QI electronics, Seagull instruments produce sweet acoustic tones even under amplification.
Seagull: Canadian based Seagull Guitars are a lesson in top quality, great sound, fantastic electronics and affordability. Guitar reviews place Seagull in the top of the market.
Takamine: With a reputation for affordability and quality, Takamine brings their acoustic electrics to the table nicely. Priced from an unbelievable 9, beginners can start out in style. The electronics are as varied as the guitars themselves and range from passive V/T controls to multi channel preamp/EQ combos by Shadow.
Taylor: Acoustic electric guitar reviews all agree that Taylor is among the best available. Priced from as little as 9, you can add a Taylor A/E to your arsenal. All of Taylor's electronics are Taylor devised and made, so you get a fully unique Taylor experience from the inside out.
Yamaha: No acoustic electric guitar review would be complete without mentioning Yamaha. This company prides itself on providing quality at affordable prices. Yamaha also manufactures electronics, so they are able to keep the costs of the amplification modules in-house and that is good for us all.
