Washburn D140MCIQ Acoustic-Electric Guitar
Here is something that you do not see often, an Acoustic Electric guitar with a built in digital processor that has a chromatic tuner, reverb, delay, chorus, flange and tremolo with 9 pre-sets. Pretty friggin cool. The body, top and neck are made of Mahognay, which is a nice way to warm up the digital effects. Check this one out for sure.
Ovation Celebrity CC24 Acoustic-Electric Guitar
The Spruce top give this guitar a nice sappy sound and the deep bowl back is a signature of Ovation guitars. The three band EQ comes equipped with a gain control so you can really dial in the tone just the way you like it. The Abalone rosette is also a nice aesthetic touch.
Hohner HW300CE Cutaway Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar
Very affordable acoustic electric with a Fishman Ion preamp, 3-band EQ, and a built-in chromatic tuner. Dreadnought is a very popular body shape; because of its large size, it tends to produce a pretty big sound.
Dean Tradition Florentine Quilt Maple Acoustic-Electric Guitar
A dreadnought with an onboard preamp, under-the-saddle piezo pickup and really nice quilted maple top.
Ovation Applause Series AE148 Super Shallow Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar
Multi-soundhole acoustic electric with active preamp and 3-band EQ. The slimline pickup is particularly helpful in minimizing feedback when performing live. This guitar is a bit interesting in that instead of one large center sound hole, you have a series of smaller ones. A great looking and slightly different acoustic guitar.
Ibanez Talman TCM50 Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar
Funky design with a really beautiful figured ash top. The back and sides are made of Mahogany, which produces a warm and balanced sound. The Ivorex II nut will help cut down on feedback because it minimizes the mid-range frequencies.
