I recently purchased a guitar that is acoustic/electric as I learn to play. I picked up a truly "like new" Fender Acoustasonic Stratocaster no longer in production. I did so because of acoustic/electric flexibility all in the Stratocaster body design. I am now wondering what amplifier I should consider to get the most out of all the options this guitar provides? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance ~ B.

You should have a look at the Fender Accoustasonic amps. I tried one and they are quite good.
I own a behringer 40 watts accoustic amp and it is marvellous. I like plugging my Strat into it with a distortion pedal ;)

Guys. Thanks for the responses regarding the Acoustasonic Amps. Will they give me options for electric amp sounds as well? Are there tube amps that would work well with acoustic modeling? Really just one to buy one amp that will allow many options for playing as I learn.

Here is the overview, try one if you have the opportunity you will be surprised at the sounds that come from this little amp:
MORE ABOUT ACOUSTASONIC™ 150 COMBO
The new Fender Acoustasonic™ 150 is perfect for the acoustic guitarist who needs a light, loud, versatile and flexible amp loaded with tonal innovations and useful features.

The Acoustasonic 150 packs full acoustic resonance and crystal clarity into a lightweight (only 22.5 lbs.) amp with a new ultra-efficient 150-watt (2x75) stereo power amp, dual 8” foam-surround low-frequency drivers and high-frequency tweeter. Its new Voicing control lets any guitar simulate the tonality of parlor, dreadnought and jumbo acoustics, or Voicing can be turned off for pure amp output response. For acoustic players who double on electric guitar, the Voicing control also has Blackface, tweed and British amp settings, which makes a second amp just for electric guitar unnecessary.

Other features include instrument and microphone channels with independent EQ and effects controls; new feedback elimination control with on/off switch for each channel; patented String Dynamics™ control that tames harsh treble notes; effects including reverb, delay, chorus, Vibratone, and more; XLR line out with level control and ground lift; stereo effects loop; USB connector for digital recording output (and possible future firmware updates); strong five-ply plywood construction and optional two-button effects select footswitch.

You might like how it sounds through an electric guitar amp. It won't yield accurate accoustic reproduction but you will get a very distinct tone. Keep it clean with just a hint (barely detectable) overdrive on the bass strings.

In my experience Ultrasound makes the absolute best acoustic guitar amps for the money.
