    Not much. The output of the pickup in your Acoustic is too low and even at high gain, the gain will sound kinda semi diry but the tone will be ugly as hell. There are some hollow bodied jazz guitars which can do the job.

    Make your own pickup and then Use a booster and then a dist pedal. You WILL DEFINATELY GET ANY AMOUNT OF DISTORTION. If you dont believe me add me to your yahoo messenger.. I'll show you how much dist i can get from my Acoustic..

    I guess I will buy a accoustic for now.... Save some more money around 20K and then go in for a quality elec guitar with the right gear.

    HindiRox - I will get back to you on yahoo in some time.

    Thanx everyone for the valueable info.

    For 20K you will still get only a cheap guitar. It doesn't make much difference between 10K and 20K if you know which brand to chose. But 50K really makes a difference.

    Hey 20 k is good enough for a guitar. I would spend more probably depending on sound and brand i would select a higher end model. :)
