An acoustic electric guitar is an acoustic guitar with an equalizer that runs off a 9 volt battery which electrifies the pickup that is usually located in the saddle. Add an guitar amplifier and your ready to play anywhere. (Warning: Inserting the battery incorrectly could damage the equalizer.

The onboard equalizer faders slide up or down for adjustment and give your guitar extra highs, mids, and lows. A good staring point is to set each slide in the center, you can then adjust each one acording to what you are playing, like if you were playing lead on a song you can up the volume. The EQ usually has a “Low Battery” light that will tell you when the battery needs changing.
