Ive have 2 acoustics, a washburn, and a sort of cheap electric acoutic(takamine)

I need a new acousitc and I really like how my washburn sounds, but the problem is that it is not electric acoutic.............So Im looking pretty soon to buy a new electric acoustic, do you guys have any suggestions to any hollow sounding decent acoutic. Not to expensive
Thanks

Why not amplify your Washburn?

Put a pickup (eg DiMarzio virtual acoustic DP138, nut there are more to choose from) in it and voila... ready.

Cheap and good solution.

Yes, if you're happy with your guitar otherwise, just add a pick-up system (from less than $50 to over $300+). You can get a decent one for around $75 or so, including a volume-control on it (which is good to have). Like the Shadow SH 2000 (both volune and tone controls) or the Acoustic Tube (volume-only). The Shadow sticks on, the Tube pops into the soundhole. Both are very decent for simple add-on pickups in the lower price-range.

of course depend on budget and what sound you like but ive seen some nice accoustic/electrics for about $ 199 us for a Ovation shallow body for example

My BBand2 was an awesome set to buy. I got the normal piezzo pickup and another one that sits on the soundboard somewhere (underneath, both of them).

The tone and volume switches are barely visible in the soundhole and the lead plugs into the knobby bit your strap connects to. Now my guitar retains that sexy little naked acoustic look, but can belt out the sound through my AER.

Mind you the lot (pickups and preamp) were around $600AUS.

Go see your local guitar person and ask their opinion. Honestly, I'm tired of repeating that. I think people post questions like this simply because they want to fit in here at GTU.

Isn't this what GTU is about? Asking questions and inviting opinions about things we don't know about guitar/bass/music whatever? If it irritates you bud, don't answer!
Would be a pity though as I've been thinking about an acoustic/electric conversion and found your post helpful.

Yes, there are excellent systems available, but I figured since he was playing a Washburn he didn't really want to spend twice the value of his guitar for add-on electronics. That's why I mentioned a couple of pretty moderately-priced add-ons. Reasonable sound quality on a budget.

ok I am not posting just to get appreciation on GTU, ive been here for quite awhile and dont give a ###### if i get attention or not......I just want some suggestions on certain things when I have a problem.

Anyways I think im gonna just buy a new Washburn electric acoustic anyways, but im still considering the pickups.
