Just like an acoustic/electric guitar, when unplugged the acoustic characteristics of the instrument are the sole source of sound. When plugged in, the acoustic properties are the same as when unplugged, but would easily be overrun by the amplified sound. However, to the player, depending on where you are relative to the speakers, the "acoustic" sound would still be heard. The EQ has four bands (low, med, high, presence) that naturally only come into play when playing through an amplifier. The fine tuning feature was part of the reason I bought this harp, but in reality I rarely use it.

I'm sorry I am not sure. I was not happy with it and sold it. The person I sold it to commented that it had "an electronic tuner."

Yes you can still here the harp acoustically. It has the pick up on the side. It does not come with EQ or the fine tuning

This particular model is just acoustic. I just received the 2015 Taylor guitar guide and the new models are acoustic/electric.

It wasn't designed for an electric set however it may be adaptable. I have it on an acoustic and it works great. Easy to adjust.

My acoustic sounds great through the box. You can add chorus, delay, reverb, phlanger, etc..., and there's even a 12-string setting.

All tuners I know of are monophonic...they will tune one note. The korg units are not my favorites. They are not really very durable or reliable. The built in mc is pretty lame. The tuners that use vibration seem to work better for most acoustic stringed instruments.

Yes! I play mostly acoustic. I have used my Taylor T5 on with a TC Helicon Voicelive 3 with this PA and it sounds great. I would love to purchase another in the future for stereo effect.

Unless you are doing studio recording, the fine tuners are overkill. Most amateur combos aren't perfectly in tune anyways. You can get the autoharp tuned beautifully without the fine tuner. If you play live, the tuner becomes a bottleneck by making replacing a string take 5 to ten times as long. Unless you play with top notch professionals or make studio recordings, I doubt that the fine tuners would make a noticeable difference for most ears.

Matt, It's a combinations. As you see in the picture on the right side of the instrument, you slide your thumb or fingers on what looks like a grate. As you slide them it give the impression of a harp. If you tap your fingers in various places, it sounds like single strings but I don't what string name it is. The buttons on the left side are the chords, major, minor, 7th. It also come with a Melody keyboard overlay which I haven't learned as of yet. I don't know what bend notes/chords are but I have played to chords together if they were close enough. I still have a lot to learn. It does so much. I think you'll enjoy it, too.

Not this model, but they do make an acoustic/electric version of this guitar

yeah, yeah..sure sure.what are you talkin' about?classic not acoustic? in english we say:either acoustic or electric. classic doesn't enter into it.

yeah but I don't think it's a true acoustic sound. I'm using a Roland Cube 40ex. I expect to be able to try it on a Fishman soon.

If the melody maker is like the Hohner Golden Melody, they use a more exact tuning so they are good for first position "straight harp" styles where you play more melodies as opposed to riffing. This does not mean that you can not play them in second position (cross harp for blues and rock), but they are also very good for folk and country. Although the tuning is slightly different, I have not really noticed much difference in playing, though they seem to have a more clean sound but not much different.

It sounds like an electric guitar, as expected it's a magnetic pickup made for electric guitar string not acoustic strings (bronze, etc) I think that's good, there are more string choices available for electrics. When you buy this pickup you must change your acoustic guitar strings to electric strings, it will sound more balance and louder. All acoustic pickups sound electric.

Of course it does. It's already strung, but it may need tuned at first. I still play mine until this day and it still sounds great.

Yes, you certainly can plug an acoustic-electric guitar into it. In fact, it has a setting specifically for acoustic-electrics, with a number of sound options. I suppose one could also use the two electric guitar settings, and all of their options, as well. I only play through headphones, so I cannot comment on how the speaker sounds, but I expect that it sounds fine.

Take it out of the box, tune it and it sounds great without any adjustments. I have amplifiers but like my electric/acoustic guitars I usually prefer it unplugged.

Yes, Wosto, sorry but you need an amp. It should not be advertised as an acoustic-electric at all. Having said that, it's a great guitar (with an amp). I bought a Roland Cube (4W) - absolutely perfect, lots of sound effects, runs on electricity or 6 x AA batteries, volume adjustment is great for living room or street busking, and can sling over your other shoulder.
