hey str8axe,

imho, you don't get any acoustic sound quality from an acoustic/electric guitar. (read that as zero, zip, nada, nothing)

i would avoid the fake wanna-be-electric scene all together. get one or the other. if you want to "electrify" your acoustic, get an acoustic pickup like a Dean Markley. But don't try to make an electric guitar out of an acoustic. It just doesn't work. They sound like (#(*&$.

Yep, totally understand saving a buck. But to compromise quality is out of the question. You can pickup a seriously nice acoustic on the cheap, pop a sound hole pickup in it and it will blow your mind.
