2. Yes, the guitar is assembled completely different, wood thinkness, wood types, pickups are much higher winds. Basically while one is electric and one ss acoustic no matter how you look at it. Just because a pickup is plased in an acoustic guitar doesnt give it the same properties as an electric.

Thanks, man. You've been helpful. And ya, I'm planning on going to guitar center and testing some out.
What do you think of this guitar?
Ibanez AFS80T Hollowbody Electric Guitar Candy Apple and more Semi-Hollow and Hollow Body Electric Guitars at GuitarCenter.com.
It says it's a hollow body, but the depth is one inch thinner, for more "mid-range punch". I like the sound of that. 500 dollars is about my max, too. I'd like to play it before I bought it, though.
What's your take on it?
