I don't plan on using the amp A LOT.

They don't really use it through the amp much, and the sound sounds great when compared to a regular acoustic. If you buy a decent enough acoustic-electric then there should be no problem with acoustic quality. 4ade Posted at 7:48 am on July 2, 2009 It is not as good as playing an electric when you are using an amp with distortion, you won't be able to play fast easily. DuBBy Posted at 7:48 am on July 2, 2009 it's the same ibanez Posted at 7:46 am on July 2, 2009 it is the same, but If you are not using a elec-acou amp, turn down the gain and use the preamp  eq controls on the actual guitar- you can use the amp controls, but slightly. Zack Attack Posted at 7:45 am on July 2, 2009 When it is NOT plugged into an amp, sound quality is just as good acoustically. 4ade Posted at 7:45 am on July 2, 2009 I have got one and yes it is the same.
