For an acoustic guitar with an amp, the Ashthorpe Thinline package leads this list: a full-size cutaway guitar with a 4-band pickup EQ and a 10-watt amplifier in the box. The Dreadnought package pairs the same amplifier with a thicker body, while the Fender Acoustasonic 15 is an amplifier only, with 15 watts and separate instrument and microphone channels.

How we ranked these acoustic guitars

Every pick has at least 100 customer ratings on Amazon and a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

Built-in pickup / EQ weight 2

Buying advice: acoustic guitar with amp

Match the package to what you own

A package gives a guitar and an amplifier together, with a gig bag, picks, a cable, a strap and extra strings in the box. An amplifier, like the Fender Acoustasonic 15, is bought on its own, so it suits a player who already owns an acoustic guitar. Check the package contents before buying, so the box holds everything you need for your first setup.

Compare body shape and thickness first

The Thinline body is 3 inches thick and the Dreadnought body is 4.5 inches thick, while both guitars are full-size at 41 inches with a cutaway at the neck. A cutaway gives access to the top frets, and a piezo pickup with a 4-band EQ gives bass, mid-range, treble and presence controls on both Ashthorpe guitars. Body shape and thickness differ between the two Ashthorpe packages, so compare those two figures before choosing a package.

Check amplifier watts and channels

The Ashthorpe packages include a 10-watt amplifier with a 5-inch speaker and a 2-band EQ for bass and treble, plus overdrive and distortion. The Fender amplifier gives 15 watts through a 6-inch speaker, with a 1/4-inch instrument jack and an XLR microphone input. If you sing and play at once, a microphone input matters, and if you play guitar only, one instrument input is enough.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Fender Acoustasonic 15 include a guitar?

The Fender Acoustasonic 15 is an acoustic guitar amplifier, not a guitar package. It gives 15 watts through a 6-inch speaker, with an instrument jack and a microphone input, so pair it with a guitar you already own.

What comes in each Ashthorpe guitar package?

Each Ashthorpe package holds a guitar with a 4-band pickup EQ, a 10-watt amplifier, a soft nylon gig bag, thin, medium and heavy picks, a guitar cable, a shoulder strap, an extra set of strings and an owner's manual.

How do the two Ashthorpe guitars differ?

The Thinline body is 3 inches thick and the Dreadnought body is 4.5 inches thick, while both are full-size at 41 inches with a cutaway. The Thinline weighs 4.2 lb and the Dreadnought weighs 4.5 lb, and both carry a 90-day limited warranty.

Can I sing through the Fender amplifier?

Yes. The Fender amplifier has an XLR input for a microphone and a 1/4-inch jack for an instrument, so a microphone and a guitar can plug in at once. It also has a headphone output and a line out.
