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.

Ultimate Garage Band and I have both just bought acoustic-electrics. His ,he says, plays brilliantly plugged in. In fact, at his last gig,the club owner who has heard hundreds of guitars said that it is the best he has ever heard. Mind you it sucks unplugged,but then it was designed as a pro guitar to be played with an amp. Mine is a step down from his and plays great both plugged and unplugged,he says. It is still in shipping so I am taking hs word for it. I think you really need to know your guitars to get a good acoustic-electric,but it can be done.
