Investor,

If you want a good sound for a band, read up at the link I posted.

The solo player wants a full spectrum of acoustic sound. It is difficult to achieve and feedback is a concern. The band player is more concerned about having a good cutting sound that fills their space within the band's sound. They usually want less feedback, scooped mids, and the ability to get loud. Those preferences require a compromise and the full range of the acoustic, including harmonics, lush tone, and a wide range of woody body sounds is usually sacrificed.

The guys on that forum can give you much more help than I can. They are a great bunch and it is free to join and ask as many questions as you want.

Good Luck
TH

Investor,

Paul is right about many of the "acoustic-electrics" sounding like something less than an acoustic should sound like.

Taylor, for as much I do not care for them, does have some models that can do both well. This guy is really moving up the ranks. You can hear his be-bop roots in this one, which is a tip of the hat to the great gloved pervert (RIP). He is probably playing a model with mahogany and sitka. He gets a great tone, so there are some good acoustic-electrics out there. You are just going to have to try a bunch.
