Then I don't know what Harry's talking about. If one looks at the pictures I posted, the instruments
are played with a microphone in front, in almost all cases. I didn't see any 'electric' guitars, or
guitars with wires running to amplifiers.

D'oh. You don't see many long wires running from most of the guitars to
amps at a rock concert, either, if they are using wireless mikes on
their instruments.

If they didn't have amplifiers, only the first couple rows would hear
it at all.
I liked Richard's explanation better.

D'oh. The point: that herring didn't see any wires coming from the
on-stage instruments going to amps doesn't mean much in terms of
defining whether they are "electric" or not, because, for example, a
guitar can be electric and hooked up to an amp wirelessly. A
floor-standing microphone doesn't change whether a guitar is "electric"
or strictly non-electic acoustic.

A wireless mike does not stop a banjo from being acoustic,.I have
never seen a stratocaster at a bluegrass concert, at least not as a
bluegrass act.
They may bring a rock guy along on the tour in some northern venues
but just to broaden the appeal and sell more tickets. It is like the
rap guys getting into country music.

I have a Dean Markley Piezo (spelling all the way around?) type pickup I
stick to the front of my Martin, I don't think that makes me
"electric"...
