Not sure if this is right?
This is an electro-acoustic guitar, so it can be played acoustically or plugged into an amplifier or PA system. If you do not need built-in electronics, a standard acoustic guitar may be enough. If you are planning regular live performances, you may also want to consider a suitable acoustic amp, cable and guitar bag or case.
