Well.... if it's unplugged, the sound can't be compared to a real acoustic guitar, but the fishman electronics are ok and when it's plugged in I really like the bright sound.
I told you before, i picked it up becose it's thin and easy to travel with it. Imagine that I usually go on the road with 2 electric guitars, a few multieffect pedals and sometimes with an amp. All this along with my drummers cymbals and my bass player gear and our other stuff in a BMW 525. I'll have my first autumn gig on the 15th and I'll tell you how the guitar sounds plugged in a PA. I'll probably use the V-amp 2 reverb and a little delay or echo along with the Fender Stratacoustic.
I have one more stupid question: This is my first acoustic-electric guitar so I'm kinda newbie... what kind of strings should I use? I currently have a set of electric 0.10 strings.

Thank you

i use smaller strings (.09) for lower action and easier bends on this guitar. I have used ernie power strings too and it gave me a lot more sound but it was a lot harder to press down and such, you know the drill :D.

You could just use the same brand/gauge strings you have on your electric. There really isn't a noticeable difference. I used to use the Carvin white phosphor acoustic/electric strings on my AE-185, but when I put a set of D'Addario EXL110s on it, nobody in the band (or even me) noticed.
