Can this guitar be played unamplified?

It is about the same as playing an electric guitar un-amped, you can hear it if you in a quite room. I bought mine to play at work without annoying anyone while I practice. I now use a VoX adapter and head phones because it is too quite and I found myself digging in too much in order to hear it un-amped.

Certainly, but it's very quiet. Ideal for practicing if you don't want to wake anyone up but not loud enough for sing-alongs unamplified. I absolutely love this guitar. Read my extensive review on Amazon's site. I like it so much I'm thinking of buying another and seeing if I can convert the second one to a steel string.

not successfully , it sounds like a semi-hollow body, tone is not clear and volume is very low. would not recommend buying for acoustic purpose. R.

It can be played but it is barely audible. I sent mine back because of that. Good question.

It can, but there isn't any "acoustics" to it. Very little volume when unplugged.

I have not, but it is symmetric, so I think you can do it. Will have less access to the higjer frets, but no different to a classic guitar

No. Actually not at all. It played right out of the box. If you are playing slide with it you'll probably want it set a little higher anyway. Great guitar.

You can play samples off of it yes, but it does not have a built-in sampler!

I assume it can.. might not sound right because its speaker is meant for magnet type of pickups. so it would not sound like a uke or other acoustic instrument

Although it is an electric guitar. An amplifier is not necessary. But the amplifier would make it easier to hear it.

Absolutely. Most of the time I play it unplugged and it has a very rich sound for an instrument in this price range. I'm very happy with mine.

That is incorrect. This guitar has no electric hookups, it is strictly an acoustic.

My experience was that the guitar is playable out of the box, but can be set-up even better. If yours arrives with rusty strings, when you replace them, take a very fine sandpaper and buff the frets and oil the fretboard with lemon oil. I hope this is helpful, good luck!

I do not think so. Nothing about this guitar sounds good or even passable. You're better off buying something from Toys R' Us or Walmart and messing around with it. The only reason I would buy this if I was to paint it or hang it on the wall as decor.

No, it's a standard right handed guitar. You could probably restring it upside down though and use it as a left handed guitar. It's pretty symmetrical.

If you tune it like a regular guitar, e.b. EADGBE, the strings end up being too floppy to play well. Tune to ADGCEA which is transposed "up a fourth" or like a guitar with capo on 5th fret.

Not sure - you may want to contact Fender directly, or call your local music store.

Mine came ready to play right out of the box. That doesn't mean yours will though. Because things happen during transit that can't be controlled. But I've read somewhere that the guitars get setup by the guys in the US before they're sent to customers.

This is strictly an acoustic guitar. No pickup installed. You can buy an outboard pickup if you want or just mic through a PA.

The answer is no. Just a clean and distortion setting. Volume and tone will be from the guitar. Sweet little amp though
