Whats the difference between an acoustic guitar and acoustic/electric guitar?

Other than the obvious that the acoustic/electric can be plugged in. If it were unplugged would it sound the same as a regular acoustic guitar? In other words, if I had an acoustic guitar and the same model of the guitar came out as acoustic/electric would they sound/play the same unplugged?


Answer
The only difference is that the acoustic electric has a build in pickup, electronics, and of course an output jack where the end pin normally goes. But when played unplugged it sounds identical to the same model without the pickup and electronics. There are some who claim that there are subtle differences between the two based upon the effect of the electronics but I've not been able to hear them and in any case there are always subtle differences between two guitars, even two of the same make and model.
