Well it is, the same as a half-acoustic Jazz-Guitar is an electric
guitar. But it does sound a bit different since the vibration of the
strings is influenced by the vibration of the body, which differs a lot
from the vibration of a solid body.
On the other hand: I even recorded a Fender Telecaster "unplugged" for a
track once. With a RFT DM 122 microphone it sounded just like it should
for a particular section in a song...
