Acoustic-Electric Guitar
An acoustic-electric guitar is an acoustic instrument fitted with a pickup system so that its sound can be amplified without a microphone. The category covers steel-string and nylon-string guitars alike, with the electronics usually taking the form of a piezo element under the saddle or a small internal microphone, feeding an onboard preamp with volume and tone controls. This entry documents the example held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is catalogued there as an acoustic-electric guitar. The maker, the exact year of build and the model are not established from the catalogue record available here, so no production span is claimed.
