Im planning to buy my first guitar soon and i am leaning towards the acoustic guitar, i was looking online and i found there was such thing as an electric acoustic guitar, now i am caught in between both, which one should i get and what is the difference.

Answer
An electric acoustic guitar is just a acoustic guitar with a built in pick up so you can plug it into a amp or pa. An regular acoustic cannot plug in to a amp and be amplified except using a microphone to mic to the guitar.
