it's really hard to say. depends on what kind of pickup is installed in the acoustic and what sort of amp you run it through. you could also go for the ultra cheap method and get a bottlecap pickup. it's quite literally a bottle cap soldered to the end of a lead cable, stick it onto the body of your acoustic with a thin piece of gum or something. looks ridiculous, sounds better, costs about $5 more than a regular lead cable hehe.
