I'm literally so embarrassed to ask this question...
This guitar:
Do you have to have an amp to plug it into? I know you can play it unplugged like an acoustic guitar because it's a hollow body, but if you want it to sound like an electric guitar, do you have to plug it into an amp? Or can you just turn on the power, and it's got some internal speaker system that projects the sound?
I'm over my bout of Dreadnought Fever (for a minute), and I'm thinking one of these acoustic/electrics might make a nice companion for my Martin 000-18. It will for sure be lighter weight and easier to handle and play. Please don't laugh me out of the LTG forum. I looked at a few reviews on YouTube, and I can't tell if it's plugged in to an amplifier or not.
Thanks!

PS I need to know for budgeting purposes. The guitar is about $1,200 but I don't know how much an amp would cost, plus all the cables, etc.

X-175B Manhattan Blonde | Guild Guitars
The X-175B Manhattan presents the same exceptional appointments as its brother, the X-175 Manhattan, including a gracefully sculpted hollow body, rock-solid three-piece neck and electrifying dual single-coil pickups, but also features the addition of a Guild Bigsby tremolo/vibrato bar tailpiece...
