Why it matters
The AE and AEG ranges are designed around plugged-in performance, with shallower bodies and preamps set up for a band mix rather than for unamplified playing. They are priced in the same band as entry solid-body electrics, which makes them an easy second instrument. Because the ranges overlap, the model code is the quickest way to tell them apart.
Note
Thin-line gigging acoustic-electrics.

Before you buy
