Electric Guitar?

Question:I love the look of electric guitars, but i dont want a blaring amp. So is it possible to play an electric gutair like an acousitc [ so its loud and you can hear it good] and if so what brands are good but not overly expensive?
Thanks<3

You can't really play an electric guitar without an amplifier. Solid body electrics, like Fender Stratocasters, and Telecasters for example, make almost no sound unless they're plugged into an amp. Even semi-hollow body electrics like the Gibson ES-335's or the Gretsch archtops don't really sound very loud or very good without an amp. Of course just because you're playing through an amplifier doesn't mean you have to crank the volume control up to 11 -- if you keep the volume turned down low you shouldn't have a problem.

But if you really don't want an amp at all you should consider getting an acoustic guitar instead.

I would use an electric uitar just turn the volume down on the amp. they soud great! hope u find one
